Talking to you…My mother’s closet 10/28/19
Beside her bed, Behind a lanky Door Perched love On every shelf. Stepping in and Pulling the string I can still feel the tension, And then A deep click and grind, Illuminating life. Squatting in the corner Filling the entire space Alone, Sitting cross legged as Time ceased to move. No one bothered to find … Continue reading Talking to you…My mother’s closet 10/28/19

Talking to you…Acceptance 9/17/19
When grief came upon me. I searched, and I searched for an exit. My way out, had to be just around the bend. The more I searched, the more I yearned for this closure, the more anxious I became. I wanted to know when I could put it to bed? Through walking this path, I've … Continue reading Talking to you…Acceptance 9/17/19
Talking to you…Something changed 9/13/19
Something changed, and I felt it right away. Those words, IT’S YOUR OWN DAMN FAULT. The sting jump starting my heart. Choking on the exhaust bellowing from under the hood. I felt it, the choice, given to me in an instant. I can’t sugar coat the depth of the pain those words coming from your … Continue reading Talking to you…Something changed 9/13/19

Talking to you…Not alone, even if just for a moment 8/26/19
Hey, uhhhh hi. I'm kinda stumped for words, which I thought was utterly impossible. But it happened. Back to back things happened, and I'm stumbling. Interestingly enough, it's not a rare occurrence, it's happened on several occasions since I started this journey. But it still throws me for a loop. Sits me down, and takes … Continue reading Talking to you…Not alone, even if just for a moment 8/26/19
Talking to you…Somewhat Ironic 8/11/19
A couple days after I wrote these words... ~~~ Cant let go, Can’t go back, Can’t move forward. ~~~ I was reminiscing this afternoon, because what else do you do on a Sunday, and remembered this... ~~~ In the middle of a conversation He got up and walked away. Because, he says, “I get over … Continue reading Talking to you…Somewhat Ironic 8/11/19
Talking to you…The Herd 8/9/19
My thought bubble just burst... It is not you, against the world. Last time I checked, the world didn't know your name. It’s big, you’re small. A speck of dust in the wind. That’s how much power you contain. ~~~ Unless, The world opens up And swallows whole One person’s Chant Their absolute rant. Then … Continue reading Talking to you…The Herd 8/9/19
Talking to you…Nice to finally meet you 8/3/19
So far, I’ve mostly let you piece me together, or make up your own mind. Sometimes creating someone else’s story is so much more fun. So, if you’re satisfied with what you know, I’d stop reading this post now. But if curiosities killed the cat, then here we go... I am not good at owning … Continue reading Talking to you…Nice to finally meet you 8/3/19
Talking to you…Dear Children, – June 28, 2019
To my children in case of my untimely death (because this is the shit I think about), We are all born on the same path, every living being is given the opportunity to live and to die. No matter the length or what your journey is filled with. Live and love without reservation, regret, and … Continue reading Talking to you…Dear Children, – June 28, 2019
Talking to you…Emotional Block 6/15/19
Writer's block, So cliche. What about, emotional block. When your heart has given all it can, and stops to breath. You wait and you ponder, Feeling nothing. It's okay to be numb for awhile. It gives you time to exhale. When it returns, and it always does. You will be ready to spill it out … Continue reading Talking to you…Emotional Block 6/15/19
Talking to you…a song 5/21/19
A friend, of a friend, wrote and sang this beautiful song about letting go and meeting again. If you have ever watched someone fight to stay alive, this song will definitely bring on the those funny little things that pop out your eyes when you're happy and sad. Full of hope and light. Always Keep … Continue reading Talking to you…a song 5/21/19
Talking to you…Vulnerable 5/9/19
The strength it takes to be, is immense. I thought I was strong before, I let myself be. Now, most days, I know I am because I let myself be. It’s a double edged sword, ironic, dare I say, hypocritic. I hate it, and love it. It makes me feel weak, but in the end … Continue reading Talking to you…Vulnerable 5/9/19
Talking to you…grudge 4/25/19
When I feel slighted, unfortunately, I'm notorious for holding grudges. I think, I’ve been holding a grudge against God. How do you hold a grudge against something you don’t believe exists? Or, is that why, I don’t believe he exits? No, see, that’s the problem. I referred to god as a he. Religion, therefore god, … Continue reading Talking to you…grudge 4/25/19
Talking to you…Guide
Each Talking to you post is a little bit of myself. A bread crumb of my existence. An insight into why I write what I write, and where it comes from. My hope is to openly express, as best as I can, through poetry and photography my "life feelings". These posts are as sporadic as … Continue reading Talking to you…Guide
Talking to you…Friday 4/12/19
A little piece of me for the taking. For Her - March 9, 2019 was actually written (at 3am) for my daughter, after she left for a piano competition, but when I finished and read it back to myself, it also very much pulled me toward my mom. It’s funny how life overlaps. Happy Fri-Yay!
Talking to you…Pocket Change
I had a weak moment, and this Poem, Pocket Change, came from it. I'm not proud. Judge away... POCKET CHANGE - March 25, 2019 You'll never buy your way into my heart. Or did you think you could? My tears aren’t worth your time? You think your pocket change should make everything shine? Keep jingling … Continue reading Talking to you…Pocket Change
Talking to you…Tuesday 3/26/19 (rad music video link)
Take On Me (acoustic) by A Ha This song! It's funny how you can take someone else's lyrics and their meaning and apply them to your own life. This is just beautiful 😢❤️. My hopes are the poems that come from my experiences do just that for those they touch. Music is such a muse! … Continue reading Talking to you…Tuesday 3/26/19 (rad music video link)
Talking to you…Tuesday 3/12/19
For those not acquainted with the womanly side of puberty...this may get a little awkward for you. But, it's ok! I made it through, and so can you! I'm just going to dive right in, I got my first period a month after my mom died (blush), and my dad did the only thing he … Continue reading Talking to you…Tuesday 3/12/19
