(i'll meet you there.)

a true gem

i live with a seven year old girl,

who is quite amazing and such a joy.

yesterday, she saw my tattoo

for the first time and asked why.

thinking she was too young to 'get it'

i simply said, "cause i like paperclips."

she responded, "i'll need a better reason than that!"

so here it is:

i need a constant reminder to be flexible in life.

to allow movement.

to give way to change.

to bend like the trees.

why? because it is the only way to be productive.

it is the only way to grow and serve out a purpose.

the paperclip, to me, is a pure example of this.

the bend gives it purpose - to hold things together.

plus, it's a pretty damn cool design.

i really do just like it.

just-us

you are the boulder

that balanced the cold

her scale had stacked and saved.

smooth and sun-warmed you came.

heavy, you showed her

no need for a tease

as you balanced the noes

with a yes please.

cool and needed like rain.

i moved. again.

after a good friend said i'm the
"most moving" person she knew...
i laughed and shook my head yes.
i knew it was true.

which brought inspiration to the
"i moved. again." announcement.
pretty perfect my new street name
contains the appropriate word LAUGH!

love language

licking the sticky
paper cut tongue
this is how i send my love
a thousand words for one

AND ... she's back.

LIFE is what happens to you
while you're busy making other plans.

breathing is made hard
my lungs are pushed without care
selfish swollen heart

i want sweetness...

... and nothing short of wonderful. (!)

haiku #082709

the hairs on my arm
create a layer of glow
when the sun shines bright

check me out

this is my original biz card design -
inspired by libraries and dictionaries.
it all started by trying to think of a fun way
to show how to say my name.

sketches for my sweetheart...

these are from my old sketchbook.
i just graduated high school and moved to charleston...
i was writing haiku poems, chasing my first love
and discovering myself.

twirl me

(c) illustration by janean lesyk

world's knife

I am a moth’s wing
transparent and thin
anxiously fluttering around
always seeking light
always seeking
but thin and transparent.

I have forgotten to eat soul pie
filled up on fake cake
so hungry for light.

I feel the side of the world’s knife
spreading me thin
until absorbed and unrecognizable
so thin
like a moth’s wing
seeking light.

mind lurk

doodle by janean lesyk

pulp/clot

blood doesn't mean much

when it's juice you're after

sip. it. down.

pretend you're friends in laughter

in the end, if you can remember,

it will all settle down

become clear, disaster

i won't be far

but you'll get no reaction

two steps away

i'll go the opposite direction

cause blood is warm

boils to perfection

and juice will spoil

lacks the necessary traction

to keep you from falling off the edge

to keep you from falling off the edge

to keep you from falling off the edge

to keep you from falling off the edge

when you feel the slip
chew the pulp for flavor
it's all you get
the last bit to savor
before the fall
you signed your name on waiver
in juice, not blood
when you denied to save her
