And I WIll Never Be the Same
The light explodes and lands on you,
Deep inside –
From a fire that burns in the darkest well
And maybe it’s just meant to be…
It digs down and burrows
It beckons - it pulls me in -
Deep beneath the seams
I think I’m headed for a setting sun…
And we will unravel –
Unravel the moments and
All the pain will change into a memory –
No one said it would be easy now
It’s okay to want more -
That’s why I love you -
Your heart beating in fragile hands,
On the verge of something wonderful
There’s always been a tiny part of me
I’m trying to hide...
Silent for so long because

You Will Read This Someday
Dear you,
I drank orange juice for you today. If you knew me right now, you would know that means more than anyone would ever understand. It was such an obvious change that I was scared someone would ask “why” and I would be unable to lie and keep you a secret.
You have to understand that you will not be a secret for long and I am more than excited to share your pending arrival with everyone I meet. But for now, you are mine and mine alone. Until I tell your daddy (wow, that’s a strange word to use for him), you are mine. Once he knows, he will share in the joy and excitement of everything you will bring to this world

We Can Only Share the Blame
He named the stars for her,
let her live fragments of a fairytale,
but it’s what he didn’t promise –
buzzing heartaches and
the fall to loathing –
that she didn’t want to be counted.
I remember she pointed at me,
passing judgments on his vodka dreams -
his one night stand obsession,
a distorted Sleeping Beauty -
screaming in pink
and she frowned like a Picasso.
She found him in the stairwell -
adding insult to injury with
“I’m sorry, Baby…”
and almost admitting he was wrong.
“Your love disappoints me… maybe,”
was all she could say.
If I were a better person,
there's a haunting happening
in the dark dusks of my heart,
a husk of a beating,
a bleating, fleeting attempt to convince myself
everything is fine and right with a love
with a lover
who can't look me in the eye
and tell me I'm what they want.
I'm hurting hatred waiting to flame,
stuck in an hourglass with no flip
and no sand left to sift through--
this is a broken climax,
stranger darling,
and if I'm not the crescendo to your chorus

Bedtime Stories : The Tree That Was Seen
*The Tree That Was Seen*
Once upon a time, on a planet far away, there lived a little tree. But this was no ordinary tree, no, this little tree could speak. She could speak to the Sun, oh what bright conversations they would have! Every morning he would greet her with a loud, boisterous HELLO!!! and then the two would talk for hours.
They talked about the brightness of his light, his magnificent rays, the perfect symmetrical shape of his body, and how healthy he made her leaves. But before long, the Sun would go to sleep, and a smaller, dimmer, shy little moon would appear in the sky.
He watched over the tree every night, but had never, no
Morning blows cold across this
"too big for just one person" abyss,
the space you used to occupy empty
save the weight of wakeful silences
and the heft of harsh words.
With a sigh, I tie down the memories
and try to save face,
staving this starving sadness--
a trial and error attempt
at scraping you from the lining of my veins.
I remind myself this is best for us both
and try to paint over the places
your bitterness has bitten.
One day soon, I will stretch myself out
and move on without all the ache.
Today, my heart is swimming in salt water
and the glass shards of all our years.
there's a fine line between
'I know you're hurting' forgiveness
and 'that bitter's too much to choke down'--
and I've been toeing it for weeks,
umbrella held aloft,
ballet flats like petals on the wire,
just wishing for everything to
stop
and let me float a minute.
there's a fine thread between
'I understand and have let it go'
and 'I just can't move past it this time'--
and you're getting awfully close
to pushing me over the edge,
fingertips splayed and knuckles bunched
against th

there is a savior's handbag in my fridge
You linger on the Mediterranean,
chasing the sun,
waiting for the next target
dance backwards, darling
down the path to our promised dreams
we learned the religion of lovers leaving
butterfly love, sailor[s], salt-
the full-time dreamer
is alone in the dark.
so this is the path to paradise?
dreaming underwater,
when the moon shines?
you bend like the wave,
reaching [for] a darker side of love
(breathing the dark)
I won't let you go back
to the nightmare king
distant fires are
the colors of god's magic
waves of melodious color
are breaching the wall
on the last day of our acquaintance.
(i can make you love me)
...apparently it is just as controversial. Luckily, the liberal-hearted gal I am, I support both. ;)

If you are unfamiliar with "Found Poetry," you should mosey on down to Verbatim Poetry. If you're familiar with it, you might get some inspiration from it.
A good friend of mine, who is also a photographer and artist, has a motto: Art is Everything. Everything is Art.
While in college, many moons ago, after reading a crapload of philosophical views on art, beauty, and the interpretation and comprehension of both, I came to believe that everything really is art. Ultimately it i

1. When did you start writing?
The first time I remember writing creatively was in third grade. We had cartoon-like images as prompts and had to write a short story about them. At the time I thought it was the most difficult assignment I'd ever had. But now I would love to go back to those days. I remember the very first image we had. It was a man in a fishing boat...
But I think I was always a writer at heart. A creative person with no artistic ability. I used to pretend I was acting in a movie or a TV show, working through plots that I made up as I went along. Maybe I was just being crazy and ta
Quite the catastrophe of emotions, this roller coaster that you and I are on.
From top to bottom, screaming, yelling, shouting, in hopes that someone will hear our cries for help.
But do we need help? Is that what it comes down to? Is it assistance in our time of need that we really desire?
…or do we enjoy the drama that comes with this calamity?
