andromeda's idle idylls
an intro of relative sorts
normally i don't like to share my poetry... i hide it in random places and take it out sometimes just to read it once, then put it away again.� but there's something about the anonymity of the internet that makes a poetry site seem less assuming than it really is, considering the majority of people who visit this page will probably be people who know me.� so allow me to fool myself by donning the name "andromeda" on this page, just for the purposes of self disillusionment.� it makes it easier to be more open and removes those hampering reasons for shoving this pile of words back under my bed to gather more dust.�
but before we go any further, i'd like to offer thanks those who� inspired me to let myself write.� several years ago i came across her site, "ophelia's life," and followed it religiously through her growth.� her beautiful soul, exquisite expression, and eventual healing taught me boundlessly of the immense strength of the human soul, its remarkable ability to overcome the wretchedness of life.� because of her victory over her oppression, her website no longer exists on the web; however, her legacy lives on through every life she touched with her honesty. it is my hope that i can reach that level of resplendant artistry in my writing, artistry that touches hearts with honesty and leaves them with a pocketful of beauty to keep forever. i love you, ophelia.
i must also pass my thanks on to sixpence none the richer, my most favorite band, who have encouraged, inspired, and expressed my heart when i have reeled so far as to not be able to speak for myself. i pray someday my music will touch someone in the way that sixpence has touched me.
one more thing, before you click "enter"; this page is pretty much uncensored. i've had some very down moments in my life, moments which i've managed to hint about on paper. that's my vague disclaimer.
