It’s October. Pinktober… I used to think of Fall and Halloween, and upcoming Thanksgiving and Christmas. Now it’s just the harsh reminder of the divide between those that would like to put breast cancer behind them and those that are more than excited to celebrate survivorship with “Breast Cancer Awareness Month.” Since I feel already [...]

Day 6: {after too long} Failed Poems Work
September 26, 2010 – 7:26 pm
It was nice to get back into the studio again after so many months. So far I am pleased with the work that I have done. I have evolved in my process a little, which only brings me closer to the clinical side of this endeavor. In order to keep the plexi from getting finger [...]
Sweetness and Sour
September 3, 2010 – 11:31 am
I haven’t forgotten the sweetness
or the reason we were together
too many things have been taken away
its as if all of creation has become corrupt
with no choice of escaping and it comes in 5 days
with time off for good behavior
The sadness grips me in a different way each time,
Just like my contentment
Or my commitment
What have I [...]
Cross My Heart and Hope to Die/Stick a Needle in My Eye
July 21, 2010 – 8:44 am
I remember when you told me the news I know that there is no turning back
It’s only an option I can’t refuse
You were straight faced with nothing less the words have no meaning
Like a picture taken without a photo lens and I will have to deal with the punishment
Please promise me you won’t die
Even [...]
Stick A Needle In My Eye
July 20, 2010 – 10:24 am
I know that there is no turning back
the words have no meaning
and I will have to deal with the punishment
for our lies and the words that have failed
there are some things that we
can never tell the truth about
it is better to lie about fear than
to experience it
what would you do then
to stick a needle in [...]
Cross My Heart and Hope to Die
July 17, 2010 – 8:41 am
I remember when you told me the news
It’s only an option I can’t refuse
You were straight faced with nothing less
Like a picture taken without a photo lens
Please promise me you won’t die
Even if the promise was a lie
I cross my heart and hope to die
I knew the truth couldn’t be true
I knew how to [...]
Don’t let this be the last memory of me {Failed Moment}
May 18, 2010 – 1:29 pm
Fighting the good fight
or even the questionable fight
Seems we’ll never be able to let it go
I am so afraid of not knowing
The last moment that I have
Leaving you and leaving me
I know that we can only wish
To leave something greater
Really that’s all we ever want
To be more than the sum of our parts
I’d be happy [...]
