My voice…

…gets lost in a room full of those demanding to be heard …gets lost in thought while I struggle to utter a single word …gets lost amongst those who’d listen but only to reply …gets lost in sadness and the tears that I cry My voice… …only beckons to those who would deeply understand, thatContinue

Lazy Sunday

We’re up to 90 degrees today. Right now as I speak, the neighbors are grilling, music is blasting, and cars are being washed. Summertime activities.  But I’m loving the warmth. Sure the AC is on because none of us want to sit inside a hot box. But when I venture outside to thaw out andContinue

Poem: The Weather Inside

I see the clouds overhead The storm in your eyes Does it ever rain where you are, Or is it all a disguise? Fighting against right Ungrateful for what’s left Trying to win a heart while Committing a great theft No one promised ease Of that much I’m sure We’re all hard to please ForContinue

🗣”Extra, extra! Read all about it!” 📰

I come with news… good and somewhat concerning. I had my mammogram and ultrasound today. The doctor looked over everything and said that things don’t look suspicious, meaning it doesn’t look like cancer. I exhaled, I believe I’ve been holding my breath since Tuesday. However, there is something going on. They are cysts. Believed toContinue

Creative Writing/NTT: Tears of a Clown

Poem: Trouble

https://youtu.be/-zTGAPjIyi0?si=r6jioh55Cqu-E3sR Richer than most but not a cent to my name The stakes are high but this is hardly a game A millionaire made with an easy tender and fare So I’ll keep singing these blues but I doubt you care If trouble were money, I swear I’d be a millionaire I’d buy the wholeContinue

Hey…

I’ve been wanting to come and make a post. To talk about anything, whatever came to mind but it seemed my mind had other plans. A steady cadence of rest, rest, rest… has been filling my brain. We (my family) have had two deaths in the last month, Covid, and various other hardships strike. ButContinue

Poem: Divinity (repost)

I quake beneath a sea of blue ink, black satin, and white diamonds. Shaken by its beauty and taken by its vastness, I cannot contain my awe. A revelation besets me…that I, one minuscule particle of life in an ocean of time and space, was cut from the very same fabric as the universe. AContinue

Poem: The Cost of Living / That’s Life…

Mr. Money is expecting his due…his hand is in my pocket, so what am I gonna do? I’ve come to the conclusion… that this life is all an illusion…and it costs money to be amongst those who are unplugged from this matrix. I don’t know how we even resign ourselves to sit back and takeContinue
