  • Happy 1st Birthday Christian

    Wednesday, March 19, 2008

    Opening presents and blowing out the candle on your cake
    These are all things in which you should partake
    On this very special day - your first birthday
    We can’t celebrate in the traditional way
    Instead, a cake I made of artificial flowers - blue and white,
    Will be left for you at your grave site
    Balloons will be sent to you up above
    With notes from your loved ones expressing their love
    A special m...

  • poem: Do you know what it feels like?

    Tuesday, April 1, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story

    To stand all alone in the rain.
    Do you know what it feels like?
    Everybody does...
    To do things you hate yourself for.
    Do you know what it feels like?
    Maybe you do...
    To fear the ones that care about you.
    Do you know what it feels like?
    I hope you don't...
    To run for your life.
    Do you know what it feels like?
    You probably never did...
    To be beaten again and again.
    Do you know what it feels like?
    I dont thin...

  • Inner Soul

    Friday, March 7, 2008

    been thinking...and i intend to paint the deepest part of my soul...even if it's "not quite heaven."
    i call it 'the real'...and that's what art is all about.
    creativity is the opposite of dying.

  • Rise again

    Sunday, March 2, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story

      Depths of dark
    an evil woman
    stole my art
    heart beating
    skipping beats in heaviness
    sinking pain so deep
    pills and sleep
    and touching earth so deep
    running
    praying for release
    dead dog
    dead bird so sweet
    tears beneath my feet
    making friends with trees
    falling to my knees
    i look up again ~
    this is my own photo.
    and these are my own words.
    ~ love, moonstar ~

  • Journal Entry for November 3, 2007

    Saturday, November 3, 2007 | A Poem/Artistic story

    footsteps in the hallway...
    footsteps in the hallway
    getting closer
    sound of boots
    key in the lock
    shackles on my wrists
    pain
    footsteps in the hallway
    getting closer
    voices shouting
    faces towering over me
    holding me down
    pain
    footsteps in the hallway
    getting closer
    sound of boots
    my body broken
    fear followed by pain
    pain

  • Journal Entry for March 14, 2008

    Friday, March 14, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story

    Christian's first birthday will be here very soon and I am having a hard time with this. I have been trying to come up with ideas to make it a special day, but it's just not the same without him here. I am so upset that I won't get to see him blow out his birthday candle or open birthday presents. I recently received a very nice letter from the Univ. or Maryland School ...

  • Fated

    Monday, March 10, 2008

    Time linked chains in a mortals frame.
    Cristal sands of imprints are stained.
    Spirited winds whisper their secrets with out blame.
    Heavy whimsical waves brush away there shame.
    Enchanted seasons change telling their story different or the same.
    Link by link the story will change.
    Every Cristal a picture in its domain.
    Every whisper is the winds to claim.
    Every wave a cleansing to sustain.
    Every ...

  • Feelings run wild *an update to it*

    Friday, December 26, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story

    Feelings run wild  
    When feelings run wild.....
    When people feel the need to run.
    When life turns upside down.
    We just wanna run, run, run.
    Our body's take over and tell us to pack,
    Our feelings are no longer,
    We pack, pack, pack.
    I just wanna feel loved & welcomed,
    I just wanna be me, me, me.
    I need to know I am loved today and always by the & me.
    If you tell me to leave then I will.
    I don&...

  • Still I Rise...

    Wednesday, April 23, 2008

    Still I Rise by Maya Angelou
    You may write me down in history
    With your bitter, twisted lies,
    You may trod me in the very dirt
    But still, like dust, I'll rise.
    Does my sassiness upset you?
    Why are you beset with gloom?
    'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
    Pumping in my living room.
    Just like moons and like suns,
    With the certainty of tides,
    Just like hopes springing high,
    Still I'll rise.
    Did...
