Without Julia~

 

Without you 

When there is nothing but the deafening silence

and all the tears have been cried

who do I turn to now

when you are no longer a drive away

a family away

a home away

who will fill the void

 

When the mundane brings a madness

Forever love

You are my best friend, my perfect lover, my poet, my stereo geek, my music man, my soul-mate from another life to this one, my best kiss, my favorite hand to hold, my truth, my mirror in growth, my partner in comedy, my welcome home.
You are my last call, my forever. You… Read full post »

The Sacred Tree

Ah my divine lover,
How can I spread my love across so many hills and trees
to call you through the darkness
through the din of tree frogs
and cicadas and fireflies
to blend me to your soul
to mark my body in your scent
and fold

Letting go of the handlebars

Liberaton is here,free,self-loving,release on the horizon and in full ownership of my own happiness and life. I know what I want and what I deserve and the only way to it, is through the hard walk of being with me and through me.

without her

197875_193093770726459_144592465576590_382053_81779_n 

her heart will be a mistress to no one
she must be all that breathes life into you
or she will disappear
is it her past that carved the ravines
so deep and soft edged
that echo of the cello
slow and somber
until you think you'll shatter from the exquisiteness of… Read full post »

Darkness is here

Darkness is here

Welcome my enemy, welcome.

If I could only lead you to an infinite death.

As the world sighs of relief, I become the hero from the rain and gloom of depression that gets me drugged, like some crazed heroin addict.

It seems like it’s been years since I have been this close to you.I close my eyes and there we are…We walked along a thin line of dirt trodden earth,Waist high wheat grass on either side.I anticipated your every

Waiting for Godot

It's like you're waiting for Godot...

…life is now. So why are we caught up occupy ourselves, we eat, sleep,make love, drink, laugh, converse, argue, sing, play games, exercise, swap hats, and contemplate suicide — anything to keep away from the now and to fiercely not give up on the dreams we hav/… Read full post »

Skinny or die...




Well, this is sure to get some feed-back.(no pun intended) Where to begin?...
I was 5 and a beautiful child, and I was praised for it. I was 8, 10 14, 17 and I was molded with my beauty as 'my special gift.' Was that all I/… Read full post »

Spring cleaning?....

I was listening to Xpn this morning and they were going on about "spring cleansing" and getting ready for summer.  With my hands deep in sudsy water, listening to the clank of the dishes against my ceramic sink, my mind began a list of to-do's for such a feat; colonics, SouthRead full post »

Love, sex and other stuff...

It was My beau & my one year anniversary yesterday...I meant to write but time got away from me. The city had me for awhile with my daughter, then packing for New Hope for an alone night with my man, followed by supporting one another with gusto as we undressed and lis… Read full post »

Will it hurt?...

Well I remember that he was handsome, cute at first, even plain, and later, remarkably handsome. He had a tattoo that was just peeking out from his shirt collar and I wasn’t one for tattoos, but it didn’t bother me. That’s what stands out the most about our first meeting&helRead full post »

A Safe Place

    Present day 1997

I sat and watched my father for hours as he worked on our roof with my husband, all too eager to grab whatever tool they might need or frequent the kitchen for more bottles of water to keep them going. Was I ten again? I laughed at myself inRead full post »

The end of my blue period.




Something happens when we least expect it and it comes in millions of forms...change. It came to me a few days ago in a moment of freedom, and what that freedom has reaped already, is juicy, exciting and exploding with possibilities. Now that’s the kind o/…

The Stillness in me...





It's nights like these, days too, that I wish I could smoke without consequence. It looks like a fascinating form of meditation or a sort of self indulgent play of self pity. Would that I could, but I have asthma and wouldn't dare risk cancer, as IRead full post »

So I'm five, and I know, from that day forward, exactly what I want and what it looks like. I want to be a mother and a wife and I want a big family, offering up heaps of safety. I got a big part of it, alas divorce arrived when… Read full post »

'Shark Week' 

It's a scene out of psycho if you cross us, or maybe we just can't stop crying and we have no idea why. Either way, we hate it more than you do, trust me! The best advise I can give any man who wants to survive the '10 days of… Read full post »
