Both within days,
Two beings dead,
Touching my life in profound ways.
I daydream and think of what is lost.
Both so young, gone from earthly light.

I have spread my dreams beneath your feet. Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

Tonight, I looked into the fire and saw flames licking across the logs. I wanted that firelight to be you. I wanted your intensity next to me to embrace the orange hot embers of you.
Me, remembering when you reached out, and so caressed my soul. You caught my wind and held me close. I never saw you, I never touched your face but I didn’t need to, you had my heart. You had taken my breath.
Still…dancing the fire in my heart.

Sometimes the monsters come to me while I sleep.
I recline in peace only to awake to sheer terror.
Somewhere in my mind, I’ve come to know
These nightmares happen for a reason.
I don’t always know why;
Not sure if I ever will.
Therapy helps me see the possible meanings and significance.
Pdoc helps me draw positive and real conclusions.
Still, I resist. Sleep, that is.
Dreams of perpetrators and no control.
Dreams of manipulation and guilt.
Dreams of abusers and silent voice.
Bless the children who have no protectors.
Bless us all.

This is a test. Not of the emergency broadcast system. It’s one of courage and healing. Finally being broadcast after all.

Pain has an element of blank;
It cannot recollect
When it began, or if there were
A day when it was not.
It has no future but itself,
Its infinite realms contain
Its past, enlightened to perceive
New periods of pain.
Emily Dickinson (1830 – 1886)

The fury and the rage…
Sudden with random tears
Briefly hot and spent
Leaving horror and fear
No voice did moan
Not an utterance was heard
Only the intake of air…
Silence still rules

It was him
smelling of Old Spice.
It was him
stinking of just smoked cigarettes.
It was him
tasting bitter from cheap ass whiskey.
Saying C’mon little honey,
nobody home right now.
Let your Uncle Cuc
give you some sweet big sugar.
It was him,
It was him again and again.

Give me a freaken’ break! I have a hard enough time reading as it is. I’m getting ancient and require reader glasses. Sentences easily blend together that didn’t some years back when my eyeballs had good vision. Now, these annoying things perch upon my nostrils and don’t even solve everything. Great…
If you want me to read what you took the time to write, please learn how to use paragraphs. I don’t have the patience to read your run on, garbled word splat. Not only do I not read what you took time to write, I curse you to boot.
Don’t know how? My goodness, you have the World Wide Web in front of you…use it!! A good rule of thumb is, if you were reading aloud, anytime you take a good sized, deep breath it’s time to start a new paragraph – this is a general rule of thumb, not a hard and fast rule.
But, for the love of all that’s good and wonderful, stop it with the run on paragraphs…please?

Another World
Let’s run shoulder to shoulder
Our cadenced rhythm together.
Ocean waves become our pace
Moving us forward, gracefully along.
Seagulls squawk for us to fly
We are steady as she goes,
Steady as she goes.
Beads of sweat drip from our brow
Lapped over time at the water’s edge.
The salty wind is at our face
Beautifully weathering our kindred souls.
We step up our pace
Foot for foot
Breath for breath
I stand for you
And you for me.
