Consuming Me

Flattered, I suppose I should be-
For I've spent my whole life working for this-
That I could blossom like an apple on a tree,
Inducing desire in the mouth with which you kiss.

That I'm finally as red as red could be,
A favorable size for markets to sell,
With juice that sweetens my consumer's tongue,
...Silence toward the hand from which I fell.

I yearn to be in your home
Long enough for my skin to shrivel.
My insides would be mushed and bruised,
But they would be there, and they would be full.

And maybe you could love my core-
For an apple without a core cannot bloom-
And I could be the apple of your eye
Even after my flesh is all consumed.

Bathing Suits That I Want! Summer's Not Over Yet...

It's the beginning of August, and my summer has another good 7 weeks left. To celebrate its remainder, let me fantasize about the swimwear I would buy with my imaginary funds...

First, a Jamaican-colors bathing suit to represent my love of reggae and all of its beachy connotations, a la this Roxy number:


Or, a less subtle representation like this other Roxy suit:




At the other end of the spectrum of my tastes, I would love to have a bathing suit that looks like a bra and has a retro feel. This one is Victoria's Secret:

Hello, World :)

Well, my two favorite things in life are fashion and writing, so I thought it was only fitting to create a blog for these seemingly unrelated things. It works for me though; fashion is an outlet for my creativity while poetry is an outlet for my distress. Fashion is great for me because it is a tool I use everyday; I love changing my style in response to new inspirations or thoughts. On the other hand, I don't write poetry as frequently because it is easiest for me to articulate myself when I am upset. I'm an optimistic person, so these times aren't often. Besides, what's to escape from when all is well?
