Sonnet XVII (Soneto XVII) by Pablo Neruda

I do not love you
as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.



I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.



I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way



than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.



***



No te amo como si fueras rosa de sal, topacio
o flecha de claveles que propagan el fuego:
te amo como se aman ciertas cosas oscuras,
secretamente, entre la sombra y el alma.



Te amo como la planta que no florece y lleva
dentro de sí, escondida, la luz de aquellas flores,
y gracias a tu amor vive oscuro en mi cuerpo
el apretado aroma que ascendió de la tierra.



Te amo sin saber cómo, ni cuándo, ni de dónde,
te amo directamente sin problemas ni orgullo:
así te amo porque no sé amar de otra manera,



sino así de este modo en que no soy ni eres,
tan cerca que tu mano sobre mi pecho es mía,
tan cerca que se cierran tus ojos con mi sueño.

And life goes on...

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for your support during this difficult time.  Truly, it means the world to me.



I know I haven't -blogged- about what's been going on (even though I have talked to some of you one-on-one), I just can't find the right words that could express what I've been thinking about lately.  I'm sure I'll be able to sort everything out in my head once this is all over, and I'll be able to share everything then.



Well, I am going in for surgery tomorrow morning and I'll be at the hospital all weekend.  If everything goes well, I should be back home by Monday.



One of my good friends will be updating my Facebook account and Twitter for me so that you all know what's going on with my recovery.  Heck, knowing how I am, I may ask for my iPhone right away so I can go 'live' straight from my hospital bed... :)



Hmmn... well, I'll be at Torrance Memorial Medical Center and for those who have my phone# you can text me and such... I'm sure my husband will text you back with the room number.



Anyway, thank you all again and wish me luck.



Love you all!

Today. Tomorrow. Always.

Today I found out that I have cancer.



I refuse to let this get me down.



I refuse to be scared.



I will beat this.

Inspiration has left the building...

I've been trying to figure out what to blog about these past few days, and I find that my inspiration has taken an extended vacation.  It never came back from Vegas (I was there in mid-March)... for all I know it's gambling all my good ideas away.






Wish it would come back though.  I haven't been able to write anything worth-a-lick.  It annoys me, because I was doing so well with my novel, and now... now inspiration has deserted me for the party/nightlife that is Vegas.






I wonder what I can do to bring it back.  I'm sure once it's had it's fill of booze, gambling and partying it will come crawling back to me.  I just hope it's soon.  So far, I've had some pretty boring and uneventful evening.






Maybe I should start posting some prompts, and writing some drabbles here and there.  Maybe that would get the creative juices flowing...  'Mo' (new favorite word!), I'll keep you posted kiddies.  Hopefully my MIA inspiration will return this weekend and we can get back to business.

Funny?: Life Before the Computer!


  • Memory was something that you lost with age.

  • An application was for employment.

  • A program was a TV show.

  • A cursor used profanity.

  • A keyboard was a piano.

  • A web was a spider's home.

  • A virus was the flu.

  • A CD was a bank account.

  • And if you had a 3 1/2 inch floppy.....you just hoped nobody found out.

Chapter 1: City of Dreams

 Summary: Kagome is a DJ, InuYasha is a motorcycle designer, Sango is a club bouncer, Miroku a mechanic and Los Angeles is an Island? What happens when you bring all that together under one story? You're about to find out... [Inu/Kag]






Disclaimer: I do not own the InuYasha anime/manga series, *sadly sighs*. InuYasha & Co. belong to Rumiko Takahashi. I am NOT affiliated in any way with the aforementioned entity.






Author's Note: Well, this was my second attempt at a fic. I had posted this a long time ago to Media Miner but I took it down for some reason or another. I think I wanted to re-work the plot or something. Anyway, I think it will be an interesting fic. I have so many plans for this story.






Don't expect super fast updates. I am a mom to a toddler, a wife and I do have a full time job... so sometimes I just can't find the time to write. But I am trying. And I will definitely update as much as I can.






First though, I need to give you a bit of background information for my setting: Los Angeles, the great City of Angels... well, more like the great Island of Angels. That's right! L.A is an island, a big one and it's still part of California. Think of L.A as New York meets Key West, Florida meets Tokyo, Japan. You've got the luxurious high rise condos, the beautiful sandy beaches and beach front property, the wonderful nightlife and the crazy traffic. My own private piece of West Coast heaven... and that's where my story takes place.






Feedback is greatly appreciated.
