I used to think heartbreak missed girls like me, the ones who waited, who stayed soft and sure. For years I prayed, “Lord, guard this fragile heart,” believing stillness meant I’d skip the fall. Then he arrived. The first to hold my hand, the first to kiss me like it meant something. He made me feel alive in quiet ways, like maybe...

On dark, cold soil, atop the soaring green turf, lay cold, rusty, nostalgic houses. The path that led to them was faded and shallow, with the feeling it could cave in at any moment. Scattered along that path were derelict vehicles from different eras each one different heaps of life. Fog filled the houses. It filled the cars too, like a raging campfire, too sinister to be put out. And yet here...

“I’d rather love a million times and have my heart broken every time, than hold a permanently empty heart forever.” –H.C. Paye ...........................................................

there’s something dreary about a terrasse drenched in rain can’t help but take it personally like a missed invitation to an afternoon drink with friends or a cancelled party a dull hush lacks warmth too early or too late no one at the rendez-vous no welcoming sunshine stood up by the host a final rinse the rain lets up the earth on pause before the sun breaks through and sets...

My friend is the ocean, waters that glide, Rustling my footsteps and tousling my hair; Many the times that we walked side by side, A spark and forever, joined as a pair. Always a cloud there lay over its play, Dappled the sunlight that fell on my face; Heaving, its waters had something to say; Twilight with meteors it took for the...

You never saw past the glory days of 17. Because you got sad and thought it a better idea to hang yourself from the ceiling fan instead of replacing its burnt-out bulbs. Bright idea. Dimming the light of all the candles whose hearts and souls were trying to add light to your dark and dismal life. You were selfish to drop...

How can True trust Faith when lies begin to escape, You are the reason why I hide my face with a Smile or a Cape, Because I can't forget what you Took and what you keep Taking, My Heart keeps on breaking daily, that is why I am Inhaling, These Drugs I Breath, I just can't Believe, Life is full of...

I'm that house who has been on the block for years Who have seen many parties and lots of tears I'm hearing rumors that I might be put up for sell Different types of notices coming in through the mail If only I can make the decision or be given an option I don't want people fighting over me at...

Spring cleaning comes and I seek to expunge from every counter and corner All clutter and dried rose that serves no purpose Knickknacks and little trinkets all go in the basket. To be given to those who have lesser or resold or simple lost forever There it sits on the mantle, an object grotesquely elephantine Rounded edges so it fits...
