Oubliette - (noun, french) a little place of forgetting. A small, windowless room where someone is locked away, forgotten, left to go mad.
This is my personal place to rant and rave like the lunatic I am, my oubliette. It's dark, quiet, and I come here to forget about things. Or maybe to remember them. After all, where does insanity end, and insight begin?

graveyard poetry
This is from a monument in The Protestant Cemetery, Rome.
The bud was opened To show the rose Our Savior smiled The bud was closed

I have always thought this was beautiful poem, and wanted to share it.

So much sadness forgotten by the rest of us!
The cemeteries don't forget. They're full of little whispers like this poem.
