Welcome to the fun that never ends

Musings n' Dreams

I sometimes feel confused.

What are we?

What am I to you?

A friend? A lover?
Am I to be dressed
Like your favorite doll?
Displayed on your mantel
for all to see?

One day you are close,
the next, you are out of reach.

And yet, why am I so afraid of
of losing you when
you aren't even mine?...

The Ithlo kept a neutral expression as he listened to Teg continue about her fascination with all things that go "boom". Explosives were something Kai's culture knew of, however, very rarely -if ever- employed. Instead warfare for Ithlo had more to do with pure martial combat, a fair fight, and victory through strategy, cold calculations, and a level head that always won in the end. Explosives seemed the cowards way out, and barbaric, to say the least, but it wasn't his place to judge others based on their preferences. Or, in the human women's case, an unnatural affinity for weapons of mass destruction.

While Teg was a loose cannon, her saving grace, as far as Kai was concerned, was a heart for the cause nonetheless. Under the flesh and blood, the facade she put up for everyone around her, there was good within.

At least, he hoped there was.

Moments later, with the captain hailing over the comms, the ship jerked and jolted from what could have been another burst in the engine room but…no, it was different. Kai steadied himself as best he could, steadying Teg as she passed by, unaware that she would once again grab his hand and pull him in tow as they headed back to the main corridor. They stopped in front of the Medbay, as Teg essentially bid her running partner a goodbye.

This type of behavior, especially from a lady, was something Kai hadn’t been used to. While gender wasn't an issue within his culture, Female Ithlo carried themselves with a certain degree of esteem and honor. But Teg, she seemed to do and say whatever had come to mind regardless of the outcome. It was different, somewhat aggravating, but mostly intriguing. Almost liberating.

“You fascinate me.” He whispered, watching the human girl hustle back down the corridor toward the main battery.

Musings n' Dreams

There are no words to describe
how beautiful she is,
or how special she is,
or my love for her.

To put these things into words
would be to define them,
to quantify them, which means,
to limit them.

There would be no beginning and an end.

There is no definition fitting, nor any limit
nor beginning or end to her beauty,
or how special she is,
or my love for her.

Musings n' Dreams

When I woke up.
The sun fell to the ground and rolled away
Flowers beheaded themselves
All that's left alive here is me
And I barely feel like living.

Your image
that was once
my precious possession
has now become the
cause of my suffocation.

Wow, you're really upping your game, @Rockette. Nice work!

An exploding ship?

Kai arched an eyebrow as he thought to himself while Teg's barrage of words in her response came out of almost nowhere. Most likely the rush of adrenaline from all the excitement. Humans brain patterns were erratic during times such as these, and the woman was not much different. She played it cool most of the time, but what came next certainly made the Ithlo question what he really knew about Teg at all.

She was stronger than her physique lead anyone to believe, catching Kai off guard as he found himself being pulled toward her. Much closer than he'd ever been to be sure, as Teg placed her hand on his shoulder before leading then both out into the corridor via a somewhat clumsy waltz of sorts. Awkward? Absolutely. But there were much worse situations he could be in than an impromptu dance with a human woman he was attracted to. For a split second, his rigid frame kept about secure as a steel pillar, but quick calculations to keep time -as best he could with one who was a bit off her timing- their movements eventually aligned about mid-way into the main corridor. Teg's smirk and otherwise silly laugh brought a smile to the Ithlo, realizing just how much fun she was having. Was is at his expense? Perhaps. But he didn't care. She deserved the release, as short-lived as it was.

Kai bowed in kind, keeping his eyes locked on the other until contact was broken a moment later as Teg began to head down the corridor toward the engine room. For those brief few moments, it was as though no one else in the galaxy even existed. A brief few moments that the Ithlo would cherish, no matter how insignificant it may have seemed.

“So I gather you have had experience with explosives such as the ones mentioned?” Kai fell into lockstep with Teg’s hurried pace, glancing down the lit corridor, another slight smile crossed his dark bluish lips with the thought of the previous scene.

Humans.

each bouncing off my window.
The ants are in great pain
and they cry out as they hit
as if their little legs were only
stitched on and their heads pasted.

And oh they bring to mind the grave,
so humble, so willing to be beat upon
with its awful lettering and
the body lying underneath
without an umbrella.

Depression is boring, I think
and I would do better to make
some soup and light up the cave.
