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…

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…
rebirth
It took fifteen years for me to recognize you and another fifteen to try to forget you. I buried you in my work, duty and vices but I was never sated. You were my dream and I couldn’t conjure anything better. We tried throughout the years to grab snatches of each other but we were…
I don’t like change…
I’ve been a creature of habit for the past 8 years; deviation from the ritualistic nature of waking up and getting ready for work was the closest I came to utter worship. I went to work when I was happy, sad, sick, well, depressed, anxious, terrified and everything in between. Now, I don’t have that…
The Lightbringer
Daily Prompt: http://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_prompt/hes-shes-so-fine/ What drew you to your significant other. Our story started in High School and is only slightly cliche. He was the popular, well dressed and smart boy who seemed so out of reach that I resigned myself to being his friend. I’d be lying if I said there wasn’t an immediate physical…
Gabriel García Márquez
While I knew he had been ailing for years, I never reconciled that knowledge with the natural eventuality of death. For me, he was a living champion of culture, of words, of language and of beauty that can only be captured by his pen. I haven’t cried yet, but the tears are coming. Finishing 100…
I could teach you how to speak my language, Rosetta Stone
http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2014/02/10/daily-post-take-that-rosetta/ If you don’t get the lyric reference, I won’t judge you. If you do; yay you!

Growing up in a melting…
Writing through the Blues
So if you’re on twitter you know the phrase “tweet through it”; that kind of sums up what I’m trying to do with this blog. I have this problem with consistency when the negative feelings about myself and my writing creep in. 2013 was such a tough year for my family and I and I…
Daily Prompt: Teaching
http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2014/01/25/daily-prompt-teaching/ I’ve had a lot of great influences in my life that have taught me a varied set of lessons, all apt and necessary whether or not I knew it at the time…well…*shrug* I didn’t want to go into another long drawn out post about great people that influence me. I have touched on a…
Struggling with Mortality
I start my new years resolution on my birthday, December 29th of every year. Usually, I take that day to reflect on my life and how far I’ve come in 365 days and start to set goals for the upcoming year. A few days before Christmas I got some disheartening news about my Grandmother who…
