there are no tears in heaven
ice hung from her face, dangling
off her lashes, closing her eyes for eternity.
her fingers a bitter ghost that numbs
as they glide over the cracks
silencing the unspoken screams
poised on now frozen lips,
panic should be swelling instead
of ebbing, skating away, smooth.
never would have guessed
how comforting the cold would be,
a fragile balance
so easily broken
but serene.
a walk on thin ice,
chancing life and meeting death.
I never needed to believe in heroes unreal;
the hero of my life has always been you.
you make excuses that the tears are from a movie
but I always thought they were true--
but like any superhero, you've met your villain:
a monster that stalks from within.
you're feeling tired but the burden cannot be taken off
as simply as a jacket full of holes that no longer keeps out the cold.
but this is a fight you must fight alone--
like all superheroes do (but haven't you always?).

because there was nothing you could not do.

I recall that the weather was sunny but that may just be memory recalling happy content feelings. The air was warm with springtime cheer and the worlds was once again flourishing with life after a long, snowy winter known to these northern parts; it was nice to get out and about to stretch legs still thawing from trumping in the snow all winter between classes. Kevin and I had also been in the car for over three hours to drive all the way to see our favorite comedian. The big names never come to Northern Maine so we had to travel to New Hampshire to complete one of my lifelong dreams. I do not remember the show in much detail, but I do
Chaotic rumblings rambling through
tight corridors, smashing priceless antiques,
breaking confines within prison mines
with not a peep to tell them no.
I wonder where next they will go
and what will be created in their destruction.
Twirling in the warmth of blankets and pillows
like the snow just outside my window;
arms stretched out to either side,
stay where you are and enjoy the ride.
In our minds, we can be on a sleigh
just find us some horses and be on our way.
Snuggled up with cocoa on our laps,
when in reality we're just taking a wintery nap.
Money's tight but that doesn't mean we can't pretend
that a fire place is roaring inside our head,
break out the wine that is actually just water,
and sit beside me and kiss me just a little bit longer.

Touch me, she urges,
breathlessly, reaching for his hand,
pale lighting from the moon
sneaking past the curtains and crawling
through the room. Her blonde hair is silver,
and her eyes are chasms, challenging the depths

Where? He is nervous, and his hands
have become like aliens, unknown

that seems to be growing further and further away,
like a tease who never wants to give.

my land is your land.
The world is ours,
between waves of beige and flower-print,
indentations in the feathery snow
refers to history of past encounters
whether in peace or in war,
the circumstance is always changing.
Soft caresses of fingertips,
uncover very little information
but the anticipation gives more answers
to what we want to know
instead of hoping to satisfy some need.
The voyage is always short
but the journey is just beginning.
We see what we feel
and hear what we want to believe.
The world is ours,
but only in the moments we do not breathe.
She shoves him against the door,
tears are rolling down her face.
Pain in her eyes that he cannot describe
lips that once smiled now form a snarl.
Nails painted red dig into his skin,
fingers twisting to grab a hold of something.
He wants to reach and put his arms around her,
he wants to reassure her that everything is okay.
He should be apologizing but she knows the lies.
Right now all her eyes are asking is "why?"
She shoves him in an attempt to be strong,
but her soul has weakenedno longer does she belong.
She pulls away, closes the door,
and leaves him there as he falls to the floor.

Am I fool for wishing to know
everything that has happened in the past?
Can I mark you on my calendar
and claim you for a whole entire night?
Open your soul to me
like a book full of wisdom and mystery--
I am intrigued.
The people you miss
The people you have loved.
The people that broke your heart.
The people that have made you cry.
I want to know.
Who has touched this tender heart
that made it grow to perfectly match my soul?

Fear is, at the end of the day, a silly thing. A trivial little coward who says "What if?" to every risk. But what are we without risk? What are we, without taking chances, bringing our fists to the grindstone, our burdens to the crusher?
Why, we're nothing. We are simply nothing without those risks. Some people are cowards, who turn tail at the first sign of risk. Some are weak, and give up when the first punishment is dealt. Those who continue, carefully, are pragmatic.
I don't fit in with those people very well. Fear, depression, foolish selflessness; those have bound me for nigh on half a decade. Something wasteful occured without me re
In dreaming, a terrible fox forces me to fall from a steep summit,
Whence I am caught in loving arms from my treacherous plummet.
The sun shines through my open blinds,
Yet my eyes are shaded by the dim outline,
Of a single sheet of parchment paper,
Quivering softly in the morning vapor.
Being the first object on which to focus my eyes,
I scantily climb to the window to retrieve my prize.
I reach out and grasp an arrant limb,
To rescue the poor paper on a whim.
As I clutch my bounty in the chilly morning air,
A brisk breeze sweeps the paper from my care.
Without delay, I stretch my body over the windows ledge,
Unexpectedly, my ca
Stage four lung cancer, they said. Six months, at best. You held on for so long, chemotherapy jovially turning you from a white haired lady in to a wig topped moppet. Vitamin C treatments, pills, sleep. Doctors, hospitals, tears and upset stomachs. To make you feel better, we announced that I was pregnant with your eleventh grandchild, and we hoped to God in Heaven that you would meet her. And you did. You clutched her to you with the fierce passion of somebody who has created a life inside of them and spooned her cake on her first birthday...and a month later you faded away.
When the call came, I was sitting on my living room floor. It wa
Hey Future Love,
I didnt know how to start this letter
Dear, or hello, couldnt decide which sound better.
I went for the informal because Im not trying to impress
Try to make it laid back so theres no need to stress.
I know I dont know your namebut someday I hope
Well meet on the street and no longer be alone.
Sometimes I gaze up at the stars and imagine how it will be
Where will it happen? Will you just turn and look at me?
Will we discover the meaning of love at first sight?
Perhaps it will take one or two nights
Laying out under the stars and discovering the myste
a lover, a fighter, a biter, a writer... I seek adventure and lazy days. The ocean waves match my heart beat and sometimes I crave fish (sushi, to be exact). I'm addicted to coffee, in all shapes and forms, and a good book which features love and suspense in each chapter. I adore poetic lines and can have my breath easily taken away. Terrible with my perception of time, distance, and walls. I work two jobs, go to college full-time, and in love with a man I hope to spend my life with. Each word I write is for him with wishes that it speaks to others who may stumble upon it. I'm average in almost everything except when it comes to my capacity to love. My heart never stops growing (nor does my sense of humor).
First, I would like to thank everyone for at least their kind words and support. I raised a little over 100 dollars to release some of that burden off my parents' shoulders financially this Winter. My dad is still having problems working his ebay business and people are jerks and keep asking for refunds when he says it might be a few days until he can ship things out. I do not understand how urgent people must want things that they cannot wait a couple extra days. If they need something so bad, I do not think relying on ebay in the first place is all that wise. That is just my thoughts, though. We are holding on to the hope that he will get b
Update: I have raised $80 so far thanks to a generous donation from Kevin's family. But things are getting worse. The doctors are painting a pretty grim picture now -- saying my dad may only have 16 months to live. Things are hard. He cannot keep up with work and people are asking for refunds. My mom in unable to hold a job because she has to drive my dad around for his radiation treatments every single day. He can hardly walk. He's already lost 12 pounds and his appetite. This man has been a hero to me and I want to make sure he has some of the best days of his life. I want to give back all that he has given me.

T'is the Season. It comes every year--family, friends, and good yum yums. Though this year seems to be "what store can open before anyone else?" and that is sort of disappointing. Seriously toys r us. 10pm TONIGHT? Ridiculous. Seems like we're getting further and further away from the main reason we have the holidays and it's all commercial. It is sad. What ever happened to family values?
Yesterday I helped my mom make homemade cinnamon rolls, pumpkin pie and the cranberry jello mold. Today, turkey, green been casserole, stuffing and mashed potatoes. During today, I am going to watch the parade and bond with my family and love. The way it sh
