I'm quitting for awhile

i need a new notebook and pen
so i think i'll quit writing
for awhile,
if you please,
and i'll build up some more words
and phrases
and interesting uses for both,
but right now i've got no answer
to the tap-tap-tap
on my shoulder
because i've got no notebook
and no sense left in my head
or heart or blood,
and no new words.

    Oh no! Start building soon! And best of luck! And you know, napkins, toilet papaer, receipts...they are all good for wrtiting on too! So, now it's up to you to find some sense and words or some sense in words or something!

    i never thought this day would come, but if this poem is meant to be taken literally.......

    then goulet you have finally managed to write something that doesn't make me happy.

    Don't leave for long. Your stuff makes for good reading!
    You've changed your place in this world!

    man.... that sucks.

    but I definitely understand. I'm doing the same thing right now.

    I wish your muse a safe journey back to you.

    Be well.

    GGGGGGGGGOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLLEEEETTTTTTTTT!

    don't go.

    if you don't have paper or pen, just
    write on the back of your hand.
    i love you doesn't take up much room
    and never washes off.

    i wrote it on my forearm
    in green marker
    and i won't ever wash it off
    on purpose
    or by accident

    Write in the snow,
    piss in the snow,
    use snot,
    use blood
    use the knife on the body part of your body.
    sounds like something that some someones might know a little something about ;) and a cheap plug for myself if you're not one of the someones.

    G,
    Miss a meal and you'll go hungry.
    Miss too many meals and you'll die.
    Eat too many meals and you'll have to go to the bathroom a lot and won't have time to write.
    Find something in between.

    We're always open.

    its not that i have writers block
    or can't find some words,
    i did just finish a whole notebook
    in one weekend,
    last weekend,
    so i'm not in trouble
    i just maybe need a break
    or some faces to look at
    or some eyes to look into
    instead of blank stares
    i'll be around, though,
    and everything will work out
    and everything will get good

    Take care of yourself, and come to visit. These phases come, and they go. Before last week or so, I hadn't written in 7 months.

    You'll never lose it. It just takes a break. We'll be waiting for you!

    figures.....i come back with a billowing cape and brilliant codpiece all ready for you to dance in....and you've decided to leave.

    ah well, they'll be here if you ever decide you'd like to try them on.

    take care of yourself and thanks for the hours and days and moments of inspiration, comfort and connection.

    kisses and hugs...pinches and spankings....shine on, shine on.....and may your lovely love find her way to you.
