Dilettante's Diary: the internal dialogue of a hedonist bluestocking.

I am a dilettante. I know quite a bit about a lot of things, but I don't know enough to be an expert on anything. I have a very sensual, hedonistic nature, but I am also a thinker, and I aim one day to be worthy of the label 'bluestocking', despite its pejorative connotations.

This is my journal, which, delightfully enough, doesn't have to go wherever I go, but is accessible from nearly everywhere I am.

Poem for my Dream Lover

Forgive me, beloved, please, do understand
the day is naked, and I am suckled by night.
Raking pebbles into waves of ruthless lucidity
between twin citadels of concealed decorum
and desperate extortionate control, there,
fragile wraiths entangle with irrational winds
this mind, this heart, this soul.
Wordless whimsical self demands,
like the hard reality of water on stone,
the implacable dance of nature's law,
that I am with you without ever seeing you
time out of mind, thankful 'til the end.

I'm trying to keep track of the 'dream lover' material. This is what I've collated so far:
03/08/2005 dream
02/17/2005 dream
01/08/2005 dream
10/31/2004 dream
