Caught smothering in a mass of grieved confusion. I blink my eyes and gasp. Slowing each breath untill it's deep and burning. Waiting for it to pass. Soft hands sweep the tears from my cheeks. I wail in fear with pinkened face. Reborn to a new life and point of view, different but the same. … Continue reading Wait.. (Poem)
Day two of Brittany began with a whined tirade. She was hungry. Where was the food? Did we have any dieting shakes? Where did we keep the organic protein bars? She has a gluten allergy. We needed to be sure and check labels, because gluten made her bloat. Who was going to heat some water for her bath. She had … Continue reading Just Another Apocalypse Diary Day 11 (Short Story Series)
I skip and play freely, not a care in the world. I see you. I hold your hands to spin in our game. I like you. I strut by in my budding sexuality. Only for you. I step to your side, our vows genuine and true. Forever with you. I waddle heavy with child, our … Continue reading Me and You. (Poem)
People say sickness is a battle. That is too valiant a word for the eye gouging, hair pulling, dirty fight it is. There is no honor. Only a battered victor, or the shell of someone who gave all. I am a hairless shell of a woman, lying not in my hospital bed, but on a … Continue reading Darkest Savior. (Flash Fiction)
Well the cat is out of the bag, and I don't mean Jim. Although it's all that bitches fault. She couldn't wait two minutes to go outside to potty and opted to use Tim's boot instead. He flew into a rage, which I didn't really think he was capable of, and burst through the bedroom door to yell at me … Continue reading Just Another Apocalypse Diary- Day 10 (Short Story Series)
Go on and turn your face to the sky, let the sun feel dim; out done. Twirl in your joy, dance wild in this moment. Flash your brilliant, contagious grin. Unfurl that beauty that spills from your eyes. Flooding love into those nearby. A life filled with clarity and freedom. The dreams you set aren't so high. … Continue reading Gracefully (Poem)
Planes make me sick. The smell, the movement, the possible death. It all makes me want to puke into my politely provided barfbag. The pudgy man crammed against my side and thigh isn't helping. He has some kind of rot going on with his feet and feels it necessary to slip out of his shoes … Continue reading Take Off (Short Story)
Silence. Comforting and shared. Awkward and tired. A muted hiss in my ear. Absolutely deafening. I've broken the silence. Poured out my soul with a tear. Love awaits your answer... Giddy and trembling. Your pause is greater than I feared. More than enough to break my heart. Snuffing all hope I kept there. I slump in defeat; walk away. Our end; silently declared. … Continue reading One Sided Hope (Poem)
Again, this weekend my family drove up the west coast of California to visit family and lo and behold, mother nature decided right then was the time to give them all the water they've been craving. It was a harrowing ordeal and I spent most of it with a death grip on my door handle, … Continue reading 10 Hour Car Ride- Through the Tempest
