Holy Ground

I was reminiscing just the other day
While having coffee all alone and Lord, it took me away
Back to a first glance feeling on New York time
Back when you fit my poems like a perfect rhyme

Champagne Problems: Valentine’s Day 2024

Because I dropped your hand while dancing
Left you out there standing
Crestfallen on the landing
Champagne problems

Your mom’s ring in your pocket
My picture in your wallet
Your heart was glass, I dropped it
Champagne problems

Me and Karma Vibe Like THAT…

I’ve been in SL for a little over 14 years. Damn. When I first started I was in my early 20’s and now I’m in my 30’s. Crazy. The lure of SL is still so appealing to me but for very different reasons now that I’m older. In the beginning, I toyed with modeling. I moved on to blogging, but my blogging was sporadic. It depended on my mood and what music I was listening to at the time, which was a LOT of Taylor Swift. Sorry, not sorry dear reader. My goal this year is to blog more often, return to the diary style (with music, duh), and find new designers and pose creators. After all, it’s why I’m still here.

Ask me what I learned from all those years
Ask me what I earned from all those tears
Ask me why so many fade, but I’m still here
(I’m still, I’m still here)

‘Cause karma is the thunder
Rattling your ground
Karma’s on your scent like a bounty hunter
Karma’s gonna track you down
Step by step from town to town
Sweet like justice, karma is a queen
Karma takes all my friends to the summit
Karma is the guy on the screen
Coming straight home to me

‘Cause karma is my boyfriend (karma is my boyfriend)
Karma is a god
Karma is the breeze in my hair on the weekend (weekend)
Karma’s a relaxing thought
Aren’t you envious that for you it’s not?
Sweet like honey, karma is a cat
Purring in my lap ’cause it loves me
Flexing like a goddamn acrobat
Me and karma vibe like that

Karma is my boyfriend
Karma is a god

Karma’s a relaxing thought

You’re talking shit for the hell of it (TBC)

Addicted to betrayal, but you’re relevant
You’re terrified to look down
‘Cause if you dare, you’ll see the glare
Of everyone you burned just to get there
It’s coming back around
