Falling in Love III and Random Comments

Well, I went rummaging last night, hunting for some poetry. The stuff that I put in the previous entry was almost all written over Christmas break. At first I was going to include the journal entries that went with the poems, but I realized that the poems themselves where what really mattered, and that some stuff in the entries I really didn’t want to have to relive through the rewriting of it. I still haven’t found my Ruth poem..but I DID find the second version of the falling in love is Fun poem
falling in love is fun
you jump off of a cliff
of knowledge into an
airy ocean of unknowing
you fall exhilarating
in the power you have
you can do/be/feel anything
it will last forever
(so u feel)
then suddenly, without any
warning, you
hit the ground
and just as suddenly
the power/feeling is gone
and it's not fun
anymore
the feeling is gone
and sadly
so is the love.

That is the original, the revised one goes like this:
falling in love is fun
you jump off of a cliff
of knowledge into an
airy ocean of unknowing
you fall exhilarating
in the power you have
you can do/be/feel anything
it will last forever
(so u feel)
then suddenly, without any
warning, you
hit the ground
and nothing is wrong
you stand
and see a world of beauty
and a true hearts home
secure solid & stable
falling in love is fun
but staying in love is ecstasy
I didn’t really ever LIKE the second version, because I don’t think it flows as well as the first.. but that I had to write something slightly more uplifting. *sighs* I don’t know everything I have ever written about love only talks about how much it hurts and not how good it feels. The only time I write about how good something feels in when it has to do with the sensual side of love.
Okay…. I think I might be done for now… I don’t really have anything to talk about...me and CAK have worked past our misunderstandings on both sides… *thinks* I think that may have been the first time he hurt my feelings.. I know I did something idiotic and messed with his years ago…but I think that this is a first for him. And that is kinda scary.. that we have managed to be this close without hurting each other. Ah well…I can’t wait for this week to be over. My mom is coming on Sat and *deep breath* this will be interesting...okay.. I’m babbling….

Stay Jazzed.
