Couldn't Sleep

There will I make thee beds of roses
And a thousand fragrant posies,
A cap of flowers, and a kirtle
Embroider'd all with leaves of myrtle.

A belt of straw and ivy buds
With coral clasps and amber studs:
And if these pleasures may thee move,
Come live with me and be my Love.


--The Passionate Shepherd to his love--Marlowe-- (Always enjoyed this poem)


Well, maybe blogging at 2 am isn't such a good idea after all. I had a terrible time going to sleep and then I had these weird dreams in which I was at a county fair searching for my best friend and couldn't quite find them.

I think that they were there, at least I am pretty sure as I thought that I could hear their voice. And everywhere I turned I saw things that reminded me of them. It was a bit frustrating. Woke back up and threw on the iPod and this what I listened to.

Baby Now That I Found You

Always on My Mind

Californication
Around the World
Oh Mary!
Chasing Cars
Broken hearts

And disregards the rest, hmmmm"

Ah Jack, when I was a sweet young thing I won a poetry reading competition reading "The Passionate Shepherd to His Love," and "The Nymph's Reply to the Shepherd."

"If all the world and love were young/And truth in every shepherd's tongue/These pretty pleasures might me move/To live with thee and by thy love..."

(from memory, might be off...)

I remember searching for a nymph in high school, except I was looking for a different kind. ;)

Not Quite Abandoned

I didn't think it had been as many months away from here as it has clearly been. I was certain I had updated this place in December and ...
