  • From my mind to my fingers, my story.....

    Monday, August 17, 2009 | A Poem/Artistic story

    God works in Mysterious Ways,
    we just have to look around and find the reason why.
    For myself, I guess it was my calling.
    I never thought in a million years I would get the virus,
    that my 3 brothers and boy friend, had contracted,
    then in 2000, I am diagnosed with it.
    I knew there was a reason, but why,
    then I started towards getting the necessary treatment,
    got rid of the virus,
    met a whole new wor...

  • a long day!!!!!!!

    Saturday, March 29, 2008

     a long day!!!
    a long day of misery,
    a long day of pain,
    a long day of heartache,
    things will never be the same,
    a long day of questions,
    a long day with no answers,
    a long day of whatevers,
    damn i ran out of chances,
    a long day trying to make things right,
    a long day trying to get through,
    a long day trying to make things better,
    trying to work out what the hell to do,
    a long day thinking things over,
    a ...

  • Lord Bless my online friends

    Thursday, April 30, 2009 | A Poem/Artistic story

    God
    Every single evening
    As I'm lying here in bed,
    This tiny little Prayer
    Keeps running through my head:
    God  bless all my family
    Wherever they may be,
    Keep them warm
    And safe from harm
    For they're so close to me..
    And  God, there is one more thing
    I wish that you could do;
    Hope you don'...

  • First Rock Concert in a Decade

    Wednesday, October 1, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story

    Girls night out
    My sisters and friends are going to see a Rock Concert
    &
    Took a chance on asking me,
    if I would go with them.
    Knowing I never go out, especially places with many people
    well I decided to give it a shot.
    I am feeling much better this year,
    besides you'll never guess
    who the band is...
    It's the Eagles
    They have always been a big part of my younger days,
    along with,
    The Who's, P...

  • A dear friend of mine here on DS, has sent me this wonderful poem...

    Friday, July 11, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story

    In Memory of My Darling Friend Caitlin
    R.I.P.
    1962-2008
    The Last Time.
    If I knew it would be the last time
    that I'd see you fall asleep,
    I would tuck you in more tightly
    and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
    If I knew it would be the last time
    that I see you walk out the door,
    I would give you a hug and kiss
    and call you back for one more.
    If I knew it would be the last time
    I'd hear your vo...

  • Decorating my new home

    Saturday, June 28, 2008

    Plans for decorating:
    Kitchen:
    All accents, like curtains, rugs, clock, plant pots, tea kettle, place mats, table cloth, napkins, etc. will be bright yellow against stark white, with a touch of black.
    Living room:
    Furnture and cutains will be shabby chic. Lots of floral designs and pictures. Ni limits on colors. I'm going to hang multi colored patio lights on the ceiling. I know it sounds gaudy, ...

  • writing- check out my poem

    Sunday, March 29, 2009 | A Poem/Artistic story

    I wrote a poem yesterday first one in several months and I wrote 3 pages in my auto-bio.  Nice start for someone who is always tired.
    Shouting Voices
    By: K. Wilhelmina Floria
    03/28/09
    Infectious disease,
    contagious virus,
    communicable, transmittable,
    epidemic,
    Madness.
    Undiscriminated, undirected,
    flamboyant, ostentatious,
    plausible, erratic,
    a quandary of conflict,
    War
    Jostled from tranquil dreams,

  • Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout,

    Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout
    Would not take the garbage out!
    She'd scour the pots and scrape the pans,
    Candy the yams and spice the hams,
    And though her daddy would scream and shout,
    She simply would not take the garbage out.
    And so it piled up to the ceilings:
    Coffee grounds, potato peelings,
    Brown bananas, rotten peas,
    Chunks of sour cottage cheese.
    It filled the can, it covered the floor,
    It...
