I don't know what to say about myself. But i promise to complete this incomplete poem..


There once was this guy,

who worked at best buy.

He never said much,

and kept out of touch.

He'd try and he'd try,

say hello and good-bye,

but it was never enough,

he lacked the right stuff.

His only true friend,

was only pretend.

A voice in his brain,

that said things would change.

He'd laugh and he'd smile,

but knew all the while,

that turtles don't fly,

and boys never cry.

So that's how he lived,

with so much to give.

Loner to the core,

or so he swore...

Adagio Cantabile (Rubato Crescendo) by breakthehabit reviews
Five, four, three, two, one, ..zero. (And the story continues.) Honestly this poem is formatted in the most insane way. Think of the counting as the tempo of a heart: steady, erratic, stuttering. The countdown, on the other hand, mimics the process of calming down from a panic. Please, tell me what you think! Tags: gay girl girlxgirl gxg femslash lesbian yuri FF F/F

Another Day reviews
In response to the recent school shooting in Florida. I had family members there that day. Luckily they weren't harmed. Other families weren't as fortunate. Mass killings, gun control, mental illness - these are complicated issues. We don't like to think or talk about difficult issues that don't directly affect us. But we're wrong if we think that we're not all in this together..

Memoir and manifesto, a two part poem. It makes more sense when both are read. I wrote this a few days before Valentines. That particular time when, at least for me, all the memories of love come at me like a flood - the good, the bad, the what-ifs. Love is magic, let's learn its art and perhaps cast some spells on our sullen world.

An Undying Glimpse reviews
I've always been a hopeless romantic. Falling, rather easily, into the strong embrace of passion, in the briefest of moments. Foolish? Maybe. But without regrets. Throughout the years i've been fortunate to connect with a few who seem to prefer living in the mist and mysterious shadows. Those who never seem to stay for long; some inner-sense or longing always pulling them away..

I wrote this for a friend who's going through a rough time in her life. Though no one can truly claim to have walked in someone else's shoes, we're all vulnerable to the human condition. Isolation and despair inevitably touches each of us. Some more than others. But like the yin and the yang, surrendering to the pain can allow us to find peace and comfort. This too shall pass..

Honest friendships are so damn rare. It's why i cherish them over everything. I've had to let go of quite a few over the years. Some, many years ago. Others, very recently.

I've had a long relationship with alcohol and not always in the most responsible of ways. It's put me in very scary and dangerous situations.

I had a conversation with a good friend today which prompted me to want to write this.
