Odds, ends.

We spent the afternoon festooning with colourful streamers, birthday banners, dirty balloons and mirrored disco balls. I was eager, no doubt. Excited to see smiling faces, get tipsy and surround myse...

Send your dreams where nobody hides

I am frank about my scars and my weaknesses. I have admitted to my wrong doings, my bad moods, my mental disorders, my ticks, neuroses, my fantasies, goals and my fears. The candor has been so cathar...

Hitting a wall

Things seems a little different in the early morning light. As it illuminates, Im wonderstruck. I never noticed this wall before.

Sorrow found me when I was young.

"When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight." It was not even a year ago when a friend looked me rig...

You said that you could let it go And I wouldnt catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know

Far from lonely, I still feel a haunt from the starkness autumn brings. The early evenings are eerie regardless- where passion flourishes under rusted runaways, twirling whirligigs and crooked limbs....

Maybe that’s why I like you, but you’re so damn young

Raw, a slight raunchiness, a tambourine and feathers. Digging it.

Let the seasons begin, Take the big king down

There was, at one time, a hunger experienced each Fall. Feelings hauntingly familiar to the pining, having just reached the end of an enchanting book. Once I had turned the final page and grazed ever...

Be the ocean, where I unravel

We emptied our pockets and took off to San Francisco.

We should shut that window we both left open now

I was able to to set some time aside for myself this rainy weekend to work on a new piece. Crowned by The Antlers, I opened the windows and doors and let everything wash away in the shower. Apart fro...

And if you do me right, Im gonna do right by you.

Some of my old symptoms, my old friends, seem laughable at times. Only because I feel so far removed from it all. For all of the summers I spent down low and debilitated, clawing desperately to gain ...

Resting in a raze the inner claims I hadnt breadth to shake

I took the long way home. The fever stroked me with its heavy paw as I brushed shoulders with Kempenfelt Park, listening to the cicadas piercing cries. In no rush to leave the searing squeeze behind,...

Lower your eyelids to die with the sun

Perhaps these dogs days are to be condemned. Or I may still be drunk on this return. Ive recently enjoyed little more than the swelling warmth in the summer air, semblance of the like-minded and the ...

Dream me oh dreamer down to the floor

So startling it leaves little time for anything else. See you soon.

I’m coming up now coming up now out of the blue

He once paraded with a nurturing gesture, picking me up and carrying me to bed. Now I have put it to rest. The one that once departed has called thrice this week, haunting my ears with a ringtone, ri...

But thats why the dark is there, so you dont have to see what you cant bear. The lions share

I had poured many hours and dedicated much of my willpower, time and energy to battling this illness and managing the episodes. Before long, I was doing it routinely. Over the course of four years, i...

Dont be hiding in sorrow or clinging to the past. With your beauty so precious and the season so fa...

Friday, I falter. I have repeatedly declared that I am going to withdraw from the freaky Friday nights and lazy Saturdays and refocus, to set any and all personal projects in motion. That speech was ...

You barely are blinkin, wagging your face around

I was on my way to work this morning when I noticed a cigarette butt stamped by a rouge lip. I transorted as an enticing woman, like those in the older, once persuasive Virginia Slims ads. No longer ...

Like a fool for fire I fall, with my pride and all.

I spied the sun and the moon today. The first time in weeks. These things once hung inferior, eclipsed by my ailing captivation in a dream, a pairing, an idea. I was blind and oblivious while cast in...

It takes an ocean not to break

1:55am. I reluctantly opened one eye to a glow emanating from the bedside table. The vibrating phone, as if slow-dancing, turned and edged closer to me. Bvvvvfft bvvvfftt bvvfft. The heavy bass and h...

Way out in the water See it swimmin ?

We were knee-deep in a heated exchange- his first appearance in weeks. I smile only because beyond the raised voices and clenched teeth, there were were still compliments, silliness and reasons to la...

But you carry on in pictures and in song

He took hold excitedly, lead me up unfamiliar passages, turned biting corners and left me there. And, I admit, I stood there for weeks rather disorientated by the labyrinth, entangled by equal parts ...

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss

In the early evenings, when the rain passes and everyone gracefully disappears for the day, I slip out to soak it in. Calm, muggy lakeside strolls where the air is heavy with the scent of the bay and...

So I drink and I smoke and I ask you if youre ever around, even though it was me who drove us right...

I literally stumbled upon it. I had barely made my exit from my previous relationship and the rebound curse frightened the Hell out of me. I was unsure, caught off guard and he seemed to be coming on...

Im the fury in your head. Im the fury in your bed. Im the ghost in the back of your head.

The clouds, wild. The winds, whip. The rains, heavy. An unhealthy serving for me, someone with such an impassioned emotional makeup and delicate roots. At risk of drowning and washing away, the maker...

But I set fire to the rain

Im realizing that constant conflict has flowed. More so après overhaul. This internal warfare that I seem to have a sick relationship with. Making risky decisions, placing myself in awkward situation...

In the morning Ill be with you but it will be a different kind

He hovered, breathing and touching, tucking a few loose strands behind my ear then stood to draw the curtains. A flood of golden rays poured in, plucking my embittered heart- a peculiar pizzicato on ...

A lot of hope in a one man tent

This is the freedom I was so desperate to acquire. I, sole proprietor. I had a vision, pursued it whole-heartedly and have reacquired an airy independence. If you know anything about me, yes, change ...

05 may 11

I feel my hold on the ground take me under, take me down

Pricked, sliced and on the mend. Presently concentrating on regaining a sound vessel.

03 may 11

Were less and less human, more and more phantoms

Im having difficultly with the fiery mouthfuls. I thought I had finally found a time in my life where I was free of these burdens, coated in a cool sheath. Suddenly, I am sternly being told to raise ...

There’s a possibility all that I had was all I gon get

I coasted the pavement today, relishing summer days as I looked out over the shimmery bay waters from hilltops. I traced my fingers over bare branches and painted stone walls- surfaces I feel, feelin...
