Living in the Moment
Grief can be a very lonely process…
I picked up my cell phone which was wet from my tears. The touch screen had become unresponsive due to the moisture. I’d been on the phone with my mom for the greater part of the evening. She had become my stress release in the weeks prior [...]
Honoring My Woman
It’s not always easy to be the person I want to be. And sometimes it’s hard for you to understand what I’m feeling. At times, I can be the most charming, loving person to be around, but there are times when I’m distant, content with the isolation that surrounds. And it makes you reserved and sad. But there’s [...]
A New Moon
If the paint covering our walls could talk
they’d speak in orange tongues
Of moons engulfing the sun
blanketing bodies each time they multiplied to become one
They would talk of the times we’d feed breakfast in bed
And your loving nature
Which encompassed all of it
It would tell of slow dances,
And sloppy sweet serenades
It would tell of passionate romances
Hiding under covers for days
If they really spoke of [...]

Like a dandelion
before a soft wind
where my silly laughter
still soothes her
On hot nights and weekends.
I could cut off [...]
An Ode To My Love
I find myself thinking back to last night… and the highs and lows of everything that happened between us and I’m still left with… I adore you.

Love Letters
Dear M,
My ears ring with the sound of my heartbeat as I watch for you on the escalator. I’m so terrified that I’ll miss you if I blink, what if I’m making a mistake and you don’t like me, what if I mess up, what if you get here and look at me and change [...]
