During my divorce, I started to explore writing as an outlet for my emotions. At first, I started with a fantasy book that I'd been toying with for years and found that one of the characters should be a bit of a poet. Suffice it to say I am no poet.

I only have eyes for the impossible The unattainable Tell me I can’t win the game And I’ll play Tell me I’ll always be set in my ways And I’ll change Tell me I’m caged And I’ll escape Tell me I’m normal I’ll show you insane Tell me I can’t have you And I’ll love you anyway

Words I couldn't say

I miss the way we used to be. I miss the way we ended a date with planning a new one because we couldn't wait to see one another again. Hours talked without feeling a single minute.

I wonder....

Is this a positive or a negative response to being in love? Are you so disheveled that you loved a troubling person who hurt you and now you can't recover? Or are you so crazy in love that you can't think about anything but loving that person? You can write a good poem about a bad situation. And... read more

Wrote this poem, and I'm wondering why I'm even on boo anymore

"So I ask myself, if I have anything to give, and if I do would it mean I live, or prove I'm dead. Would my words go through or bounce right off, would they simply walk away, or breathe it in and start to cough. If what I said brought words at all or froze the air, would the ice in their eyes and... read more
