Janice
Losing my brother was the most
Difficult day of my life.
But it was all okay because then
I married his wife.
Her name is Janice and I pretty sure
That she only married my brother for his dollar bills,
Because she was the only one written in his wills.
Janice and I have been married for a year,
But our relationship is dying, I fear.
I lost my job
And now I am broke,
And can’t even afford to buy...
Love Someone With Medical Issues
Loving someone with medicall issues brings challenges but also brings smiles and joy. It brings challenges and envy and longing. Wishing and watching as other couples enjoy years of being with each other and growing old together. Longing that you too would have all that time to be with your partner. Envy that other couples take their time with each other for granted. But with all that you learn to...
How Long Though?
We’ve always been taught:
“Things have to get worse for them to get better.”
Or
“The sun is warmer after the rain”
Or something similar to that.
What they don’t mention is that the good part is often cut short and is never fulfilling enough to compensate for the darkness.
The darkness lasts to long.
When do I give up?
Does it ever stop?
I can’t fight for the rest of my life. This isn’t living.

I And The Canvas.
I was never much a writer.
Ranting descriptions, laying out complex details, writing a universe in those pages.
It didn’t appeal me.
For in my mind, there was no world, no universe.
It was simply pitch black, a canvas that I could not see, nor the art.
So when I was pushed upon writing,
I didn’t want to choose anything to do with it.
I was simply a lizard that just wanted to bask.

[𝙒𝘼𝙍𝙉𝙄𝙉𝙂: 𝙉𝙊𝙏 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙋𝙍𝙊𝙈𝙋𝙏]
Once upon a time
Life was filled with
Wonder and magic
Once upon a time
Bedtime tales of fairies, mermaids,
And princess with their prince
Once upon a time
Dressing up with tutus, tiaras,
Fairy wings, and ‘magic’ wands
Once upon a time
There was nothing to
Be afraid of
Once upon a time
I experienced a child like
Faith, oh so pure
Once upo...
(insert Name I Can’t Think Of)
What value has the amethyst,
If every stone is rare?
What value has a vein of gold,
If every vein is near?
What value has the morning,
If night was never lord?
What is food to well-fed men?
What is peace to peaceful nations?
And what is Eden worth to man,
If we’d never known depravity?...

I’m dead
How is a question I can’t seem to answer.
I wander between the land of the living and dead, searching for something that I can’t seem to put into words.
An abstract feeling of warmth in my heart.
Gentle hands.
A dimpled smile.
A voice following me like a moth to a flame amidst the valleys of undead
_“Come back to me, my love” _
_Memories of a young man sipping on coffee beneath the...
The Fire
The house was perfect. Everything Erica was looking for in a home. Security she never had growing up, physical space she couldn’t afford during college and her first six jobs, an inheritance, nor her first couple jobs as a professional engineer.
3000 sqft home, 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, living room, dining room, attic, basement, garage and 3 acres behind the house, complete with a beautiful ...
Pyrex In Butterprint Blue
knife pain between the shoulder blades
Loosens my grip
A spasm of overworked muscles
Lightning storm of nerves
Stabbing
Then a freeze as the pain cresendos and ebbs away
Sharp as the splinters from my favorite mixing bowl as it crashes to the floor
Twenty years of banana bread and burnt pancakes
In shattered recrimination
Newly-wed Gift from my mother-in-law’s kitchen
The memory of a bride nests...
