Journaling

Sep 12

Even with the cliff notes version, I wrote a good bit about my relationship yesterday. Once I had tried keeping this blog purely about writing but the two are inextricable for me. Now I just keep the personal stuff as generic as possible and not go into details. Writing about the things on my mind is helpful. It helps quiet my mind and to sort through the confusion. It lays things out where I can better see them for what they are. I don't remember when I started journaling but it was early. I wish I had the early things I wrote but they are lost long ago. I do have both hand written and electronic diaries from my twenties on, and I have travel journals. Then I have poetry I've written that is sometimes journaling dressed up to go out.

But even if the writing isn't kept, it has served its purpose. Putting my thoughts out on (virtual) paper either with journaling or with poetry has always been a release valve of sorts. Sometimes it's hard to control what's being released though. I was very agitated last night and tried to explain my thoughts to Hunter but I'm not sure of how good a job I did of it. I'm pretty sure I said too much though. I've always bled words.

Below is some recent horror and scifaiku

Indelible stain
Blood smeared on the bedroom wall
Never enough paint
Advanced sentience
Testing our intelligence
Existence at stake
Open the coffin
Pierce your deliquescent heart
Still red with heart's blood
Falling from red skies
Advance alien forces
Screams as cities burn
Human fat and bones
Disintegrate in a vat
Fine milled soap for sale
It was just a dream
The crime of unsanctioned thought
Extreme prejudice
