Favorite Quote:
I will cure myself in the sunshine and wind. <br /> <br /> If you&#039;re tired of kissing me, I&#039;d better go.<br /> <br /> I&#039;m a free-spirited gypsy and an emerald mermaid.

Tonight I'm on my back
sculpting poetry
my electronics went out
I'm simply left with this pen and journal

If I were a civilian,
these would be all I have
to pass away days in apple meadows
with blossoming cherries under pale clouds
and my soul stirring upon sorrow-less soil

If I could be the harvested crops, leaping grasshoppers,and rays of a sun,
I'd simply be
