I have lived this week on a voyage
of reflection, leaving behind trails of painful introspection, I swam in the silky sea of ideas of what I imagined life would be, until rough waves of reality washed over me leaving me drowning in deep, dark, familiar waters of hurt and disappointment Like an addict sucking soothing smoke swirling out of a pipe cracked with overuse, lungs breathless and body going down fast, I gasped and grasped at my dwindling dreams and for one intoxicating moment, held onto the life saver I frantically reached for only to have it pulled away once more by those who would demand payment for the life I would live freely if only given the chance Floundering and desperate for air, I found myself breathing deeply, only to choke on the convoluted, cutting and polluted words exhaled by those I thought I could love, leaving me trapped and impaled on the sharp shards of my shattered pipe dreams … Bruised and battered, losing everything that mattered, I reached out with trepidation in desperate search of sweet salvation, only to come away empty handed, my fingers singed in my fiery and numerous attempts to save my own life Sickened and weary of this endless struggle, I watched my once bright, and now tarnished hopes take flight; leaving me unpleasantly permeated in the sour scent of despair as I watched my life dissipate in the air, the sad, smoky residue of my dreams … awh @ nov 28, 2009 Yes, I'm still alive. Just working on the book. ~xoxox Miss you guys~ xoxoxox |

leaning back in the chair
formed over time the exact mirror image of its occupant a smile curls below closed eyes wherein the teeth clench a bit drawing a long pull delicious concentrated sweet and smoky flavors issuing from a playful corner a stream of colored air streams forth in swirling excapades |
