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 in progress

inspired by Savatoons, the mistress of sad, dark poetry



Skin is the preferred organ of expression.
Let me stain your flesh with my longing, brand you with my hands.
Let me touch you, make you mine, as you have always been and never were.
Better not to take that chance. Keep your distance, forsake my trailing fingertips.
Knowing the words that spill from my lips are engraved upon my heart. Knowing this boon, once granted, will always remain.
I know why it is that you take me for a fool. My heart is but a spoil of the Love Game.

Kelly, I have taken the liberty of rearranging just a few words and lines , I hope you like it:

Let me touch your preferred organ of expression.
Stain my flesh with your long organ of expression. Brand me with your organ of expression .
Make you mine, as you have always been and never were.
Better not to take that chance. Keep your distance, forsake my trailing fingertips on your organ of expression.
Knowing the juice that spill from your preferred organ of expression are engraved upon my Skin . Knowing this boon, once granted, will always remain.
I know why it is that you take me for a fool, for my love is the spoils of the Game.
