On Silence
I used to be really uncomfortable with silence, as an only child it only reinforced my loneliness and I simply could not understand why I was so unfortunate. Making peace with silence has been an arduous task but I am finally seeing it as more of an ally than an enemy. I’ve been reflecting lately…

Sleep
I miss hearing your voice at night It made the demons seem like angels and midnight felt like the first sunrise Instead I wallow in my mistakes Summon my own light But it isn’t you ++++++++++++++++++++ Have I said this before? Remind me Done this before? Offered you a sip of me only for you…

worship
your name is the only prayer I ever say out loud moaned whispered a benediction two syllables per-fect e-nun-c-i-a-tion a sigh, a release an answer

fire
We are opposing forces Your fire quenched by my water It makes you cold and still My warmth runs deep It always finds you You are fire When we touch it’s either a storm A flood or A blaze Cosmic law says We are both destruction In love; we are life and death Chaos and…

via
The silent moments between us used to be unbearable Now, I savor the opportunity to cherish you To completely devote myself to the ease of your laughter The careful way you choose your words I close my eyes and I feel myself reach toward you My hands eager to capture every curve of your face To…

No Reason to Reject the Ordinary
As an writer I’ve always hoped for a grander life, so that after I’d passed my prime or relevance, I could write a shocking, interesting memoir and be that cool old lady who had seen the world.

Onward, Upward
2014 has been more or less a bust for me. Other than leaving my job and deciding to focus more on elevating myself and the folks around me it’s been uneventful but with new breath comes new life and there can only be upward mobility from here. The hardest part of the year for me…

I, Robot
http://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_prompt/you-robot/ I’ve already discussed in a previous post my dislike to for washing dishes so I think I’ll flip this challenge a bit. If I were a robot, I would either be relegated to cooking or to caring for either older people or animals. Cooking I enjoy but not as much as I adore watching…

Work is never just optional
http://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_prompt/work-optional/ As with most immigrant children, a very strong work ethic was instilled in me from a young age. I started working at 15 and I’ve had very few months in between then and now that were completely work free and it was scary. I’m currently in transition so I know that I will have…
