Welcome to me! It's a lovely place if you stay clear of the locked doors. Disturbing rooms lie scattered about; don't fall too deep, I wouldn't want to fish you out! That would be a shame, for I am not known for my skills as a fisherman. I better play the part of the fish who got away, you see. The one you tug and tug at, only to find, to your dismay, it's swimming away! And giggling behind it's scaly fins.
But rather than be a fingerless fish, I would be a poet! For words are life to me, and without them I'd wither indefinitely. And just as a fish cannot write, it is useless for them to try to draw! And since the sketching so entertains me, I would not enjoy being a fish.
In this place, you will find contradictory things, like tears for love and laughs for death. You'll find love for both Disney and for blood. You'll find a godless anarchist who never grew out of dress up. You will find pain deeper than the valleys of Mars, but a giddiness that rivals that of a child. There is obsession here, and lies and fear, but there is logic too, and blatant truth. There is clutter that drowns even me sometimes, so I'm afraid you will have to tread carefully. If you get lost, just call for me, cause I probably left just to mess with your mind. I'm not really cruel, I just have fun with fools who traverse me without knowing how to read the signs.
Follow the arrows or mome raths, whichever you like. But I also like to play Chesire Cat, so I'll eat my own fish and I'll lead you astray, and steal your sanity along the way.

I will never date anyone who smokes. I refuse to kiss an ashtray and listen to you hack up your lungs all the time.

My name on thestarlitecafe.com is Perth, read my poems if you want!
Here's one I wrote as a psychoanalysis of The Joker, taken to an extreme of single-mindedness and obsession.

Masochistic Pierrot

It feels nice to press on the bruises
as they slowly fade to yellow.
To brush my fingers over them
and remember they came from you...
This one's fresh purple,
where did it come from?
Let's pick up the crowbar where we left off.

The swelling goes down as the sun comes up.

It feels nice to anoint the lacerations
and watch them start to bubble.
To rip them off and make a scar
and remember they came from you...
This one's still bleeding,
where did it come from?
Let's pick up the knives where we left off.

From every mottled bruise
to every flash of blood
decorating twitching skin...
I love to feel them all
as deeply as I can
and let the fever burn the guilt of sin.

The swelling goes down as the sun comes up.

It feels nice to press the bruises
just to see how much I can take and
I'm so happy to have made enemies with you.
Let's blow each other away, let's rip apart.
You can't move me, and I can't stop you,
so let's combust together, caught in an eternal fight.
Aren't we just doing what we love?

From every mottled bruise
to every flash of blood
decorating twitching skin...
I love to feel them all
as deeply as I can
and let the fever burn the guilt of sin.

This one's still throbbing...
Is it from you?

The swelling goes down as the sun comes up,
lighting the macabre body canvas
of our twisted art...
And I'm still dreaming of your fists.
Will you come again tomorrow?

The swelling goes down as the sun comes up.
The swelling goes down as the sun comes up.

My favorite literature snippet:

In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial
who, squatting upon the ground,
held his heart in his hands,
and ate of it.
I said, "Is it good friend?"
"It's bitter-bitter," he answered;
"But I like it because it's bitter
and because it is my heart."

  -Stephen Crane
