Well that was a lot of words! I have completed the lyrics to the “4 Seasons.” They may not be perfect, but nothing ever is… The seasons became more about relationships as a continuous cycle and yet even as a cycle I can see it as a straight line over the course of a romantic [...]

Four Seasons, not Vivaldi
December 6, 2010 – 4:24 pm
I am working on an SSAA Choir Piece for the Nordic Voices – Chicago, this is my first commissioned piece that I have ever had… I have some mixed feelings about it. On one hand, I really am grateful for the opportunity to share my choir pieces with an audience. On the other hand, 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 [...]
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 [...]
My meter is broken {couplets are broken} I Failed the Poem
November 25, 2009 – 1:05 pm
My skin pressed up against your flesh
as if we are of the same mind and desire
Keep the doubts and fears to the left of right
I just can’t be here with you tonight
There are better things than this
my life lit up with a reset
and its like a reject button
like a factory line production
I’d like [...]
Failed Poems Stuff
November 11, 2009 – 8:47 am
Just thought I would add this to stuff I will use with the Failed Poems project:
But funny enough on its side it looks like a robot ready to hug you…. OR DESTROY YOU!!!!
I find it interesting that the symmetry of the Carboplatin model makes it look so easy. When we go back to the [...]
Progress: Failed Poems Project, Day 2
November 3, 2009 – 4:22 pm
In addition to the Failed Poems Boxes, there is also a Failed Poems [Framed]. These are images on plexi that will overlap one another in order to create depth. The image First Layer: Simple Bilateral Mastectomy [unfinished] is a dividing cancer cell which will be framed an inch in front of the Second Layer: [...]
Progress: Failed Poems Project, Day 1
November 2, 2009 – 4:16 pm
First day…. It was tough to just get everything together. I was able to put together 4 boxes. It took all day. I realize that I am going to have write something for the inside of the boxes. I also thought of dropping a clear piece of plexi through the middle of the box, perpendicular [...]
