New

There is a quiet dignity in growing things. A continual reach toward the light, a joyful drinking in of stars. I look to the perfect, subtle sparkle of iris petals, the soft smiles of wildflowers. Each dew drop, each raindrop holding the wisdom of a million years brings new life. The dead singing beautifully toContinue reading “New”

Split

Originally posted on Words that must be heard:
While the circumstances are blurry, after all it’s been 40 years or more, the split itself is still crystal clear. This memory has been quietly sitting in the still corners, watching, waiting to remind me that it was real. I did not make it up. It was…

Questionable Paperwork

I was told that the paper work would be kept confidential, under lock and key. I was told that everyone had to fill it out, in case someone had to have an ambulance called. I was told that it was for my own safety and protection. I was told many things. I held the paper,Continue reading “Questionable Paperwork”

Poet

They dripped words on the page. Like liquid rubies, shimmering. A heart opened and laid bare. Exposed in shades of blue and black. Explicit. Opened. Ashes scattered from a million sack cloths, shook loose in endless funeral processions. The velvet glove of rose petals, fields of possibility, torn by the glint of new steal. IContinue reading “Poet”

Eyes

The first time I met him, I was stunned by his eyes. I guess looking back on it, I have always liked blue eyes. They are so different from my own, and the icy quality to them have always drawn me it. But his eyes, his eyes were full of water, ocean waves and foggyContinue reading “Eyes”

Perfume

There was a cabinet in my grandmothers upstairs bathroom. The room itself was always clean and very feminine. The sink had fine ceramic containers, painted of course by her. She loved to paint, and she was very talented. Strangely, until this moment, I did not realize how much I associate her with that upstairs bathroomContinue reading “Perfume”

Young

When we met, we were too young and too blind to see the danger we were in. He was sheltered and dying to get out. I was out and dying for shelter. He had long since rejected his families faith, he grew to hate it and it chewed on him from the inside for yearsContinue reading “Young”

PORN

I have spent many hours trying to figure out how to approach this, or even if I should approach this. I will go forward with the post, hoping it will somehow cleanse these old wounds I carry. If it doesn’t then maybe I can reach out and help you heal yours in someway. You wouldContinue reading “PORN”

Gothic Love Song

This is to you…the one who will never know, the one who knows too much and the one left behind. Together, we shall lie under weeping willow trees, heavy with spanish moss. We will feel the damp of the grass, the slight give of the Earth upon our backs. The night sky will roll aroundContinue reading “Gothic Love Song”

Here? Now?

Through tears again this morning, I see breaks in the clouds. Lines of color playing off the flakes of snow. Damp ground smelling like the promise of Spring. Of hope. Of something beautiful yet to come. I can only hope, and wait and see. I can only love those around me a little more dearly,Continue reading “Here? Now?”
