Just die!
I’ve been trying to kill you all my life. But you won’t die. I’ve been stomping on you. Trying to drive you into the ground. But you won’t die. I don’t want you around. You cause heart ache and drama. But you won’t die. I’ve stabbed you with a knife. Shot you with words. ButContinue reading “Just die!”
My first trip to New Orleans
My first trip to New Orleans; a fresh face college kid in the BIG CITY. A small group of us were walking down the street having just arrived. Trying to get our bearings, shaking off the long drive, as well as taking in the beauty that is New Orleans. Our little group was approached byContinue reading “My first trip to New Orleans”
Fairy Tale Ending
Sue and David were high school sweethearts. They would never part. Lovers till the end. A love time would not bend. Sue stayed in-state to go to college. David went away to seek his knowledge. They vowed to be true. Parting made them both blue. Sue studied hard. Focused and true. David; lonely, wondered tryingContinue reading “Fairy Tale Ending”
Clickety clack
Tired. I’m so tired. Here in the muck and mire. < I want to feel – peel – < back to a time when there were no words. Back to a moment when nothing was absurd. ~ My body shivers from the late spring night air. Coupled with the dew clinging to my skin makesContinue reading “Clickety clack”
Old friend
Stick by me old friend, until the end. My companion until this is over. My one true soldier. By my side day and night. You are not the fright. You will not catch me when I fall. You will not comfort me at all. You will not carry me when I can’t walk. You willContinue reading “Old friend”
Crazy kinda rain
Let me tell you what your crazy friend just did. I have a brand new pair of memory foam flip flops. I leave them at work so I have comfortable shoes to walk in when I can go. On those days when the heat isn’t overpowering nor the humidity oppressive. I wore them out toContinue reading “Crazy kinda rain”
Dumbest thing EVER!
I did the dumbest thing ever, I sent my muse a letter. No, I’m not trying to be clever. Will it get read? I’m really not trying to be a ‘go getter.’ I just wanted to say thanks. Will it get thrown in the trash? Inspiration in me you have banked. It would be tooContinue reading “Dumbest thing EVER!”

I hate you!
You are the most annoying sound in the world. All I want is to stay all snuggly and warm. Why can’t I stay curled, my thoughts and feelings transformed. My bed is like a trusted friend. That perfect hug. Sleep, the realm of dreams does bend. My bed doesn’t care if I lay like aContinue reading “I hate you!”
