    TODAY I WANTED TO WRITE SOMETHING TRULY INSPIRATIONAL
    I awoke this morning to the sun dabbling
    across my collection of ceramic orphans.
    The smell of new-mown flowers filled my olfactories, and
    I was reminded of a poem about a basket of kittens.
    If only I could share the joy to what it is like to awaken
    knowing that another day stands before me.
    Another day of inspiring all that are lucky enough to be o...

  • my daughter poem

    Wednesday, May 28, 2008

     
    MY DAUGHTER POEM   
    in the cluttered chaos
    of a busy city
    kissed by God
    i conceived
    all by myself
    unlike
    the Virgin Mary
    a little poem
    named maia
    girl-child maia
    momma's baby madonna
    blue eyed girl
    with untamed hair
    untempered spirit
    in her bones
    inside her eyes
    willful child
    that a mother
    is afraid for
    but proud of
    i nursed her
    greedy guppy mouth
    she
    starving to get going
    on this road
    called lif...

    No, it doesn't get easier with time.
    The sun continues to rise,
    to shine warmly on those who walk
    this earth, living the life of
    innocence.
    Unaware of the formidable pain that is just
    a breath away from any of them.
    They don't understand what if feels
    like to be empty inside,
    to lack depth,
    to be a shell of the person they once were.
    And, mercifully they will forever live
    the life of the unaware.
    In m...

  • I survived

    Thursday, September 4, 2008

    I made this video and put it on youtube.  I just want everyone to know what happened, and make sure people ask for help.  Have a safety plan in place before you get desperate.  A safety plan has many layers.  From ways to calm yourself, to friends to call, crises line numbers, hospitals, mobile crises intervention.  Giving all your means to someone you trust.  Withou...

  • love come 2 me

    Monday, March 3, 2008

    i need the love of me
    to believe in only me
    so i can love thee
    in a more readily fashion
    my life loses passion
    when i sulk about the past
    people will be bad
    but i can choose the silent golden path
    to be happy to laugh
    yes i do feel sick and stressed
    it is hard to caress the sun
    but i am a new one
    who sees love as the kingdom
    i feel like we forsake ourselves
    for others to tell
    us how to live well
    sacrificin our ...
