Shadow of the Hegemon (Ender, Book 6)
By Orson Scott Card
see relatedI can't believe it's been so long.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I haven't added a weblog entry to this site in nearly a month. I remember when I would update multiple times a day. It's because my life has been very busy lately. Instead of writing poetry, I've been writing essays for school. But I'm not going to give up on this.
I created a profile on youtube. I'm not sure how everything works on it yet. I can't upload videos of myself either since I can't find my camera. If anyone wants to add me on there, I would appreciate it. My username is Alexis767.
Orson Scott Card is now my second-favorite author. He's a genius.

can't sleep in this heat.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sometimes I am sick of
The saliva, the sweat
Of skin broken from bites.
Warm sticky flesh on my flesh.
Sometimes I wish
That my soul could rise and float
Out of my body, away from this
Too-small bed.
To swim on some cool and dry air current
Where I could exist in perfect sensual cleanliness.

Schindler's List
see relatedVulnerability.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am like a baby bird,
with my mouth open for your kiss.
I am quivering with the fear
that you will dash my head upon the rocks
where sparrows will lap up my blood
with their tiny pink tongues.
How vulnerable am I
to your whims and desires,
to your sudden changes in mood.
My bones would crumble to dust,
My blood would stop pumping
if you craved that type of amusement.
So please,
do not dash my head against the rocks.
I am vulnerable for you.
I am your baby bird.
I have faith in you. I am trusting you,
to trust yourself with me.

I felt like sharing them with you.
Tonight, I am going to a jazz concert on my campus. I also need to do some homework. I've been slacking off.
I have decided that I am going to try to get a job at a book store. I hate the job that I have right now.
