Are you gently sleeping, here inside my dream

2009-12-04T11:34:08Z

I am dreaming of babies. I wake with an ache deep in my womb, throbbing to remind me of the emptiness left instead. In that sleep-wake world, I feel your lips encircle my nipple, your tiny fingers curling and uncurling in ecstasy alongside my bre...

Enter the Sun

2009-11-28T09:35:26Z

Today, the Sun shone. This brilliant illuminescent orb that filled the corners of this dark space; it left the shadows retreating in defeat, those that loomed large. It pulled me from the darkness and thrust me towards it's warmth. I am looking t...

Womans Wellness

2009-11-26T10:36:26Z

I have been putting it off for a week and a half. It shouldn't be so hard. This is something I do, for me. Ensure my health is optimum, that my reproductive health is good. But it is hard. God it is so hard. It is harder than anything else I coul...

Things i whisper into the darkness

2009-11-22T11:03:35Z

I am hopeful. I have dreams, I have goals. The night will end. The dawn will come. The nightmares will fade into calm reality. No one can hurt me. I am safe. I am safe. I am tired. I am scared. I am lonely. I am sad. I am broken. I hate you, I ...

As we walk in the dimming light, oh darling understand, that everything, everything ends

2009-11-21T20:31:04Z

The wind outside is wailing so hard that the windows are humming. It sounds as though this place is under demonic possession, and here in the wee hours of a November morning, I am haunted by ghosts. November will always be a difficult month for m...

2009-11-20T07:04:36Z

I was challenged to give an alternative spin to this post and I thought it would be an interesting thing to attempt. So, I'm taking up the challenge...seeing how these things affected me, who it led me to meet, what it taught me, how it made me wh...

In this moment

2009-11-17T09:24:04Z

Last night, the rains came. If you live on the West Coast, you will understand what this means without me having to elaborate. All through the night I listened to it pound against the roof. Under the soft glare of the streetlamp, it bounced and r...

It doesn't matter what I do, not for all my little words

2009-11-16T09:31:01Z

I am slowly drowning in a transparent sea. I know it to be true because the world around me carries on, unaware. Sunrise beckons, the dogs nudge me gently, outside the air is crisp and there is a scent of rain whispering in the wind. I go about m...

What's wrong with me

2009-11-15T19:56:51Z

I kind of liked this list over at Schmutzie's. And I felt sort of compelled to write my own. It was scary and hard, but here's to airing everything in public. I took a puppy home from this lady with a free sign, and a sad look in her eyes, which...

Epic Journey

2009-11-13T08:51:11Z

I yearn for silence. I spend my minutes, hours, days, constantly searching for a stillness that I don't possess. If I listen closely enough, I can capture it for a moment. When I watch the trees sway, at a drum circle, where my head naturally co...
