Momma Sunshine and her Son Starlight

She was going out with a firefighter, but he burned more than he put out. He said I’m done. She said, love, you said I was your one? Later on that day. She found out she got a baby on the way. So she calls up her momma and says what do I do. IContinue reading “Momma Sunshine and her Son Starlight”

If I am Honest with myself….

There are so many times in this life that we push away those thoughts that make us tremble…If I am being honest with myself, the loneliness I feel would be too much to bear. I fill myself with virtual distractions and media. But rather than me consuming media, it is the medium that consumes me.Continue reading “If I am Honest with myself….”

Now I lay me down to sleep

Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the lord my soul to keep. Now I lay me down to sleep. And if per chance I shan’t wake. To continue with my daily pace. Then find my friends for they are found-fragments of my soul. And each lost vagrant you should see. Let yourContinue reading “Now I lay me down to sleep”

Reroute

When is it okay to reroute? Are these dead ends or only roads not yet paved? When do we depart from our original destination and commitments?

Scribbling frantic melodiesContinue reading “Reroute”

I knew (Chronic Disorder Diagnosis: Ehlers Danlos Syndrome)

My family always dies early. For it’s in our genes. So when people ask me about when I will grow old, I have always said it wasn’t my desire. Some part of me always knew that my days were few. And so instead of running, I often stop to greet her, kiss death upon theContinue reading “I knew (Chronic Disorder Diagnosis: Ehlers Danlos Syndrome)”

Would You Relive Your Life Exactly As It Is?

Would you relive your life if you could, with the wisdom you have now? Only with a single change in the texture, but not of the melody, nor sound. The only revision to the total composition would be the accents, but not the rhythms? With more intensity, but the same tonality. Only a modulation ofContinue reading “Would You Relive Your Life Exactly As It Is?”

The rain is stealing my words.

The rain is stealing my words.Where am I? Now with nothing but a quiet soul. Lost in the gardens, and the mud. Sheltered barely by the canopies. There’s nothing much but woes.

The Futility of Words

Sometimes I wonder why I still speak when there’s so many reasons to not.I wonder if a vow of silence would do some good.Would it make a difference, when there’s so much pain?Speaking contributes to global cacophony.Why do we speak so much?So many judgments and transgressions occur from the flick of a flippant tongue.We’re constantlyContinue reading “The Futility of Words”
