I Remember 9/11
Everyone I know that was in New York at the time of 9/11 remembers exactly what they were doing the second they heard. I was getting ready for school, fresh out of the shower I turned on New York 1 to check the weather as I usually did in the morning. Waiting for the weather…

Memory
I remember smells and tastes more than I remember faces and names. I could tell you the kind of day it was when I had my first kiss but not what I was wearing, I could recall the first song I ever sang for an audience when I was 6 but not the last time…

Lost and Found – Poem
I look into the distance my love I watch from afar My heart skipping beats my breath out of controlled My soul stands still I believe I’ve found him

Flakes of Love
I see our love like I see the snow. I anticipate the first sign of it and wear it on me like an ornament, proud that I have captured it for all to see. Small, each flake has a bigger purpose and plan…to cover as much as possible. Slow, steady, hazy and always amazing when…

Holiday Season Stagnance
I’m not really a fan of “Christmas” because of course there is no evidence of the historical Jesus so there isn’t nearly enough to go on to believe that he was born exactly on the December 25, that the Winter Solstice is always around this time and the early Christians did a lot to compromise…

A Spike Lee Joint
I’ve always been interested in how the American government treats it’s people and the seeming inability for us to get out of the detrimental cycles that we go over seas to free other people from. I’m currently watching; If God willing and Da creek don’t rise; a follow up documentary style film by Spike Lee.…

I miss…
When you miss someone, what is it that makes you ache? Is it the big things like them not being around you or is it the little things…like the way smelled after a shower?

Creativity vs Life
I’ve always been a firm believer that life isn’t always about the destination but about how you get there and what you learn along the way. With that said, I know all the things that I want to do but creating that path isn’t always easy. Not that the things I want to accomplish are…

Selfish Guys
A selfish guy is normally an apparent jerk. You can spot him immediately and you know that there’s something wrong with him for the most part but you don’t exactly know what….

Wounds of Sound
I used to be afraid, scared to death at the sound of their piercing wail, now, I sleep soundly to their seeking echoes I can not imagine my life without them. Sad that this is commonplace but at least here, I can see it, can see the corruption and it isn’t hidden under top secret…

Of a certain age…
I’ve officially gotten to that age where I’m looking for meaning in everything in the past; bastardizing Facebook to get back in contact with friends that I casually walked away from and I’m looking forward hoping that life’s lessons and the people I have around me will help me move forward. The people who were…

Deep Breath
Today was harder than yesterday. Everyone is telling me that it’s going to get better, but it seems like it is only getting worse. I can’t keep recanting the story over and over again, scrutinizing the details and going it over it with a fine tooth comb doesn’t seem to help.
