A Moment III

“Are you happy?” he asked. She looked across the table at this man that was once her could have been.  God he was handsome. She leaned her head thoughtfully to the right. “Yeah,” she responded matter of factly. “I am…. It’s easy. Being with him is just easy. I’m not exactly used to it.” He…

Dream Invader

as darkness falls and blackness crawls he reappears night after night without reason, without right breaking through every barrier spreading his sensory disease, nostalgia, he’s a viral carrier even in slumber my body shifts flailing and flopping my minds eye taking apart our time, clipping and cropping his invasion? implanted scenes, his nightly creations beneath…

Letters She’ll Never Send

I asked the Universe why there is an incessant pull to and towards you since we’ve met. And even though she stubbornly refused to answer me, I figured some things out on my own. Here’s the thing. I could really, genuinely be with you . Doesn’t make sense, I feel weird saying it, and quite…

Miss Me

Miss me When you come to me again With your, “I miss you” and “damn it feels good” Im begging you remember…. That it is not me that you miss but my vibes that you tasted. Your tongue entangling me in every wave. You- you washing over my senses. Drowning me in your tongue. Me?…

I found myself on the lower side of that this week, feeling the weight of everything around me sitting solely on my shoulders; the weight…

Itsy Bitsy Ipsy, Oops She’s Sorry?

It’s no secret that my relationship with my mother has been a rocky one. I can spend YEARS describing the trials and tribulations, the roller coaster ride, the *any metaphor you can think of* that has been our everyday for almost 30 years now. And maybe one day, in my wildest dreams where I’m an…
