When I was in high school, I was always in bed at a decent time of the night, though I wasn't bound by any formal curfew. I was a good student, and school started at 7:50 am. I had to be up and ready, . . . more

We just moved. I am planning on starting school in the fall, which is around the end of August. It's an online Master's program. However, I would still like a job. I could probably do a part time . . . more

It's tough getting back into the swing of things in city life, and I don't adjust to change well.
For the last ten months, my boyfriend and I lived in a very small town. There . . . more

You degraded me
with homogeneous mixtures—
too much androgen cheese
was added to testosterone burgers
and I was ostracized,
cut from society’s happy meals
and thrown into waste bins.

I try you on in the store
the way I would try on
an expensive leather coat or
a pair of high heeled boots,
mulling over the decision
in front of a mirror
and the sales lady,
wondering . . . more

Tears falling
in an ocean of blue ink.
I'm drowning in my head.
Arms flailing,
splashing words on these pages,
but nothing I have said.
Pulled under,
submerged in my confusion.
I'm breathing . . . more

In death's dream, hollow
spiders wove webs of memories-
intricate patterns of life and death
between birth and undefined lives
written across misery's blind, blank eye.
Life is found in divinity . . . more

I sat in the dark
eating stale cereal
from a Tupperware container
with a fork
because every other dish
in the house was dirty.
And I don't even like cereal.

She needed damaged dreams
to be repaired, so crane prayers
lifted metal spirits higher
until the storm slammed
into downtown events
as below, on Thirteenth Avenue,
due to rush hour traffic,

Okay, so if you read my last article about Respect, you know that I have been having some issues with students who vandalize my house in "innocent" yet annoying ways.
Well, it happened . . . more

When it comes to many things in life, sometimes even the little things, I tend to have an inability to make decisions. It’s movies like The Butterfly Effect that emphasize the importance that . . . more

If you were here right now,
standing right in front of me,
I would kiss you.
I would plant one on you
that would steal your breath
as it burned into your memory.
Lip to lip, and hip to hip,
my arms would . . . more

a dream come true, ticket to happiness!
I'm going to have a great time shopping,
now that I'm filthy, stinking rich!"

The

together
tend to mingle
and turn an ugly
shade of burnt sienna.
Individually they were

dead center summer,
she walked through fields
with eyes cast down
trying not to step
on last minute crickets

We've come to the end
of a beautiful relationship;
right now, I just want you to know
the fact that it is ending
takes nothing away from its beauty
and its very special meaning to me.

Heaven rests in your eyes,
while grace is in your touch.
You love every inch of them,
and covet just as much.
To be loyal and submissive
is to love you,
every kiss laced with a promise,
every gesture . . . more

Lilacs
fill the cool air
with the sweet smell of love,
reminding me of great grandma's
tight hugs.

when magic brews in cauldron
of chicken bones and Jack’s beans.
Five and twenty blackbirds
have carried this wail with cow
