Getting Late…
The siren’s voice in my ear beats as slowly as my heart, firm determination in her words matches nothing inside of me. My chest rises and falls with almost no purpose. She sings to me ” It’s late and I’m feeling so tired”. Its as if she’s here with me, travailing this unpaved road leading…

Just for Today
Today was the day you broke my heart fingers on temples chest pounding stomach burning and you took your time and stood apart You prepared your nonchalance I was caught off guard frozen in the New York beastly spring rain drops encouraging me to do the same I wish you would hold me now just…

Sweetest Goodbye
The hardest words to say are the sweetest knots in your throat sweet sour bitter amazing tastes on the tongue The silence turns the turbulent dagger in your heart Words would kill us now Silence makes us strong Thoughts only other broken people can see Tears that brings tears to others stricken with this disease…

J.D Salinger – Misunderstood
Catcher in the Rye is definitely not the only effective book I’ve read by JD Salinger, but it was the first. It’s honesty and human-ness shocked me as a child accustomed to reading fairy tales. I was too young to read it then but when I re-read it in high school I understood. People argue…

Escape
Words escape me as my thoughts haunt me. The moments of sureity are too far in between this feeling of helplessness. I have to go see someone, I have to get medicated. It’s tearing my relationship apart and I see the alienation that I’m imposing on myself. In a room full of people I could…

Her Story
Women are the healers, the nurturers, the mothers, the daughters, the wives. We take care of the men; we birth sons and raise kings. Sing to our daughters and crown queens. Women are opressed because of their power, not because of their weakness. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gaUm_7-lLo&feature=related

Beat
Its the moment of silence before the beatdrop The sweet breeze of the train stopping at your feet on the tracks The moment tensions leaves you, your body giving way to sleep The second before the laughter, the second after your joke The shaking that you can’t quell when you cry The instance you realize…

After D, Before F
How can I show you the other side of me? I am scared, alone, broken and battered. You wouldn’t recognized what’s inside, the dark void of blackness that threatens to swallow me whole, the wild unkempt madness that lingers, that abides by no known rules. I struggle to maintain the me that you know, what…

Running
The scent that clings to me is undoubtedly yours Masculine, subtle and overpowering There is nothing I wouldn’t do to ensure that for one moment I am embedded in you in this consuming way They way you have taken over me I can still feel the tingle of our last kiss Your arms wrapped around…
