THE KISS

AND SO OUR LIPS HAD TOUCHED- ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT WHEN WE DIDN’T DAY MUCH- WITH BOTH OUR WORDS TRANSLATED BY A RUSH- WITH FEELINGS OF LUST AND LIFE AND SUCH- HOLD ON TO THIS FEELING WE MUST- I DON’T WANT THIS TO SLOW- I WOULD RATHER BE BURRIED BENIETH A HOLE- AND LEFT FOR DEAD TILL MY BODY GETS COLD- TILL I SHIVER AND SCREAM FOR THE PAIN TO LET GO- YOUR COMFORT IS ALL I KNOW- MY ROSE IS SUCH A SIGHT- THOUGH I KNOW I MUST NEVER HOLD ON TO TIGHT- AND WATCH YOU FADE AWAY FROM SIGHT… Continue

Prayer For Strength

Down on my knees, yelling “please” calling Jesus begging,
Don’t let them hurt me no more!
No answers to my pleas, no release ill at ease wondering, what the hell I keep fighting for. Is it all worth dying for?

Struggling & striving barely staying alive & body & soul aching all the time
Got to fight this sinking feeling my brain is steadily reeling, pain is to the ceiling I’m about to lose my mind

I struggle day to day to make ends meet, be a fath… Continue

No Excuses

There is no excuse for this
When a heart no longer feels
The excuses pile up like snow
Of things that they don't know
I remember being 9
When my mother lost her mind
She walked a crooked line
Her own excuses trampled
By fortresses of dictators and men
Her paranoia filled her head
She listened to her intuition
She gave her premonitions
To plastic knives
Like a cat with ten lives
Overdosing on prozac
She t

Alice's Adventure - a rewritten fairytale

Alice’s Adventure

“Write your heart out, Alice,” My aunt Tilde had said as I carefully flipped through the pages of my new diary. The diary was a bright red with golden pages. It seemed mystical to me enough that I longed to fill the diary with pages of magic, romance, and adventure. Yet, nothing in my life was very adventure-like or exciting. I wanted things to happen that were worth writing about. It just seemed like nothing ever interesting happe

Drowning

She can teach herself anything. She can teach herself to sing. She can teach herself to open up your box of secrets and spill the memories and things you keep hidden inside. Without a way, that's what they say. The ocean collects the sand, wipes herself clean of the sting of salt. It's not my fault. But I am guilty. Guilty of what? Of not knowing what to say. Today...today she is strained, pained, numb. Or is it dumb? They say I can't write/ but I will fight. Fight to fill my heart like an ambul… Continue

Found It

for a split second i was ready to throw in the towel. And when i use that expression, 'throw in the towel' i fully picture this pure white hand towel, the kind that they give out at most gyms, floating in mid-air and just sort of falling slowly to the ground below. yes, that's the image i get. for a split second i was about to permanently see that silly pure white towel in my dreams and quite possibly while fully awake, which would make it a hallucination. but the moment passed. i breathed throu… Continue

Lost

Ugh. Maybe Lost is a Strong Word. Not Lost. Empty. Drained. I have the Feeling- The Inkling- The Notion to Express myself in My Own Way in My Own Words but somehow I Can't. And When I Try it Feels Forced. Boring. Old. And Especially Like it's Not Even Reaching Anyone. Anymore. So Here Are Her Words for Now- I Hope My Own Will Come Back to Me Soon: BALANCES by Nikki Giovanni in life one is always balancing like we juggle our mothers against our fathers or one teacher against another (only to… Continue

“What it means to have it “rough”.Dedicated to shawntalia Humphries

I’ve seen enough deaths to fill up a million caskets and not once was I bitter. Not once was my heart heavy enough to carry death like a burden upon my back when I lay my head down at night, Not once was I selfish, Not once was a bitter, I was angry though, Angry that the truth lies so hidden beneath my wings, Broken promises upon the surface of my heart God sent me to earth before I knew I was an angel, Before I knew I would see tragedy at its highest peak, Before he would without any type of w… Continue

"GILDED" (Short Story Excerpt)

For More of this story Visit my blog: http://www.cabernetinthedark.blogspot ...Ben shoved the pile of papers and photos further onto the corner of the couch. He took off his glasses and wiped the lenses on his sweater again. Where is she? He wondered feeling the slightest twinge of annoyance. Then he almost laughed at himself feeling foolish. He knew where she was. Physically she was downstairs but mentally she was back wherever she'… Continue

Uncambered Love

Another day, another year, You hold a love that’s stays sincere, Between you both there’s piece of mind, A partnership that is so kind, Tomorrow brings another game, But loving bonds remain the same, For when it’s time to take a chance, You’ll both be there to take that dance, Thirty years have been and gone, But eternal love remains so strong, You’ve been through all the ups and downs, But together you resist all frowns, For when you find a love so true, No single moment keeps you blue, You’ll… Continue

Simplest Needs

Passion thats escaping me is nowhere to be found It’s as if my soul was buried underground Even the light of the newest of days Cannot see through the darkest haze So I guess I’m farther away than I thought I was Gone is the ray of light, gone just because I’ve got no feeling of disrepair Only of loss and a great despair Virgin souls of the far away and long departed Leave nothing behind but the brokenhearted When all that remains is simply what’s left And nothing more than the gain of a death… Continue

Stuck

Manicured lawns and white picket fences don’t fix a troubled home, it just keeps the world from seeing what’s going on… on the inside. And its just masking the lives of people undone and lives slowly unraveling now two no longer one. Broken arms mock embraces here… and plastic flowers are picked from the dirt that tears have watered. It’s to late nothing can be done to change the hurtful things said. nolovelostnolovefound there is always no love. Although it hurts it is the hard truth. Someth… Continue

Let Love Go

Why can’t I let go and finally be free? I’ve tried to resist but you’re too good for me, My minds made up and I cannot accept, I life without you is a life with regret, I know it’s not fair and I know it can’t be, But I just can’t see you without seeing me. Continue

French Words 21

C'est pas ma faute, ça m'a pris à la gorge, l'aigreur et l'amertume m'ont encore mis hors-jeu, ma vision noir m'a laissé sur le porche. La vie, un atelier et la mienne une forge. J'en ressortirai fort comme fer, solide avant ma forme poussière, mort... Je connais mon sort mon frère, mortel, mais j'aime les efforts qu'il faut faire. J'aimerais parler légèrement et m'imbiber à l'orge, c'est pas ma faute non, ça m'a pris à la gorge. Mes paroles s'empilent, rugueuses comme la roche, j'aurais mieux… Continue
