The Extended Metaphor of Us

Posted on March 7, 2012 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 7, 2012

She flew in under my radar. buzzed my ivory tower, until I noticed her there, gracing the sky with her beauty, like an elegant, fragile bird. When I stopped searching the sky for Harpies and pterodactyls, I saw her…strong in her weaknesses, swooping and ascending, wings white as snow, reflecting the sunlight of hope. And when she landed, and I looked into her azure eyes, I saw her soul, her damaged but still strong wings, and I stroked her, felt the softness of her feathers, smelled the scent of wind and rain, heard the beauty of her song. And I … Continue reading →

Shadow Wings (poem)

Posted on February 26, 2009 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 12, 2013

Shadow Wings Dress me in shadow wings Flesh blends to one race of night and void. But the shadows orchestrate the sun, Thinking of the warmth and newness of the day below galaxies of spiraling stars Riding the amplitudes of darkness, each bursting bubble an infrequent upsurge of glamorous spells Untenable and beyond comprehension.Dress me in Shadow wings Like a dragonfly who cannot produce fire Colors scintillating into the ether Weaved and flossed Moon reflections reflecting. Nothing soothes the night.

Eye of the Beholder

Posted on December 4, 2007 by Kelli Jae BaeliDecember 4, 2007

With regularity, I am confronted by various personal ad placers who accuse me of being shallow or superficial because I require a photo of someone first, before I will explore any potential relationship. There are many reasons I require this, not all of them about attraction, but for the purpose of this particular sore spot, I will address this as if it is exclusively an attraction issue.  The distinction to be had here, is that I don’t place ads to find friends.

Quotes from Kelli Jae Baeli

Rush Limbaugh invited Obama to appear on his show and speak without a teleprompter. As if Obama is incapable of freestyling his words. Obama is perfectly capable of speaking without a script. Just like Rush Limbaugh is capable of speaking without a brain.

Politics Quotes

"People feel removed from sexism. 'I'm not a sexist, but I'm not a feminist.' They think there's this fuzzy middle ground. There's no fuzzy middle ground. You either believe that women are people or you don't. It's that simple." (Joss Whedon)
