You are who I see
When I first open my eyes
My love has arrived

                                                               It's not what is said
                                                               It's how it's stated;
                                                               It's not what you write
                                                               It's how it's written;
                                                               It's not what's implied
                                                               It's what's inferred.

                                                                                       BJ Neblett

My severed heart cries
Your razor desire cuts
Love pools at my feet

                     BJ Neblett

                                                           The lives of a man are measure in his dreams.

Recovery, New Story and Library Talk by BJ Neblett

Well I am still here, although there were times this past week when I thought I might feel better dead. I now have a greater appreciation for my friend Kristin and what she must have gone through. Having your gallbladder out is no picnic, no matter what the doctor or anyone else may tell you. I had the ‘simple’ procedure on Monday, five days ago, and am still very sore and achy. I was off work all week and when I return I am on light duty, no heavy lifting for three weeks. And here I thought I’d be up and about, doing well in a couple of days! Anywho, the doc says everything went well and it was the wise decision to have the operation now as I had quite a few stones built up and they were partially blocking one of the tubes… whatever that means. Thanks to everyone at Swedish Hospital First Hill in Seattle for making my stay an easy one, and to my friend Alissa for being there for me. And thanks to all of you out there in blogland for the wishes and prayers.
I didn’t get as much work done while off as I had hoped, meaning basically none. I did manage to finish a new story; more on that another time. Also, as mentioned before, I will be guest speaker at December’s It’s About Time, at the Ballard (Seattle) Branch Library. I did manage to get my talk on Flash Fiction finalized. Those of you in the area please plan to stop by Thursday, December 10th, at 6 PM. It’s free and only lasts about two hours, with a Q&A period and an open mike segment.
December 1st the new edition of Paradox Ethereal Magazine hits the ether, available on line as a free download for all. It will feature a story by me as well as a powerful, touching short story by my friend and fellow author KJ McPike. Be sure to check it out and leave comments for the magazine’s wonderful and hard working publisher Mary. If you are not familiar with KJ McPike and her new young adult fantasy Xodus, justclick here.
Thanks for taking time out to read my blogs and for putting up with my ranting and ramblings. As always, link, like, comment and be sure to share the love. C’ya next time.
Peace,
BJ

Said Spring To Winter by BJ Neblett

Hello and happy holidays! I'll be enjoying my birthday on the 24th (yes, a Christmas baby, better than a sack of coal!) with a quiet night, perhaps with a couple of friends. Hopefully yours will be a bit more exciting. In the mean time enjoy this new and very special poem written for a very special person. And then follow the link at the right over to my writer's blog for a short story.
Peace and love for a new year.
BJ

Said Spring To Winter

                           Said Spring to Winter            Said Winter to Spring
                              In silence we meet              Don’t ask me my name
                          Specter of my dreams                   I am just a man
                         The future in your eyes            Do not seek tomorrow
                             Uncertain but true                   And it will be yours
                            How am I to know                  Ask me no questions
                         What truths will I find                 I’ll tell you no lies
                                Your gift to me                          Take all I offer
                                 Afraid to open                        As long as it lasts
                             The longings inside            Don’t question your heart
                          Untouched and frozen              And love will be ours
