So many changes..
My life is moving in a completely different direction than it was a year ago. I am finally seeing dreams realized. It’s funny how quickly things start to change when you take that first scary step. I will never allow fear to stop me again from pursuing my dreams. I embrace fear! I will use it as confirmation that I am moving in the right direction. As long as fear is present, I am not...

There are continents
between us, and oceans
vast, yet you are right here,
under my breath.

Forgotten
My dear friend
I despise you
Your attention
Now detestable
Hate is my companion
It reminds of your lies
My dear friend
You do not exist
For me now
Or ever again
Forget my name
As I have forgotten yours

Faces
SAUNTERING the pavement, or riding the country by-road—lo! such faces! Faces of friendship, precision, caution, suavity, ideality; The spiritual, prescient face—the always welcome, common, benevolent face, The face of the singing of music—the grand faces of natural lawyers and judges, broad at the back-top; The faces of hunters and fishers, bulged at the...

A Utopian's Prayer
Oh let me not walk in idle fashion
Lacking conviction and lasting passion
Keep my hands from meaningless labor
Focus my mind on worthy endeavors
Afford me love for my fellow man
And let no one feel pain by mine own hand
This is my humble prayer to thee
No people have been as richly blessed as we.
**Written after reading a chapter from Utopia.**

Moving On...
Goodbye regret…
I will no longer torture myself over a bad decision. All of us make mistakes we must live with. I have cried my last tear, and written my last pathetic poem over something that no longer holds sway over my life. Time to forgive myself and move on. Life is too short to waste so much energy on what I should have done…

What is Poetry Made Of?
secretedsins:
Sugar and spice and everything nice, and lust, and pain, and bitter refrains, and love unrequited, or returned, then lost, or felt too deeply no matter the cost, and beauty so pure as to make us weep, and the type of darkness that won’t foster sleep, and hope and despair, and obsessive need, and everything else our pens might bleed. That’s what poetry’s made of.

The many reasons to eat oatmeal for breakfast. I like mine with strawberries, blueberries, a little agave nectar, and a splash of almond milk. Good stuff!
