If You’re Still Bleeding, You’re the Lucky Ones

Friday, January 18th (2019) @ 16:51 EST

I haven’t written anything since I started PA school two years ago.
I’ve made time for other things, but not the most important.
It’s too easy to forget ourselves for meaningless obligations.
No matter for whom your heart may beat, within you is where it will always happen.
Don’t forget (to love) yourself.

“Will I Wonder?”

I once thought I was paper, wicked and sharp to those who’d grown complacent with my care.
So easily overlain with all the images others wanted to see.
Never content with me just being me.

When I was a lover I welcomed any opportunity for pain.
Eager to brave hardships that would validate my resolve.
Because even though I meant it, saying those three words was never enough.

Haven’t stopped humming though the words faded long ago.
For some reason errands I’ll never remember seemed more important at the time.
I’d sing forever if I wasn’t late for work.

There are names my heart still beats to, even though they’ll scarcely wriggle from my tongue.
This damn brain box just keeps beating away.
As I get older the world gets smaller, and I’m curious if it’s the same for you.

Some day all too soon the fantasies will stop for good.
I can’t help but wonder if then I’ll see the world for the first time, or will it have been the last?

Gonna Make You Wonder Why You Even Try

Tuesday, December 12th (2017) @ 23:21 EST

Took a while, but pretty much everything is up and running again.
Still have another semester of PA school, so it’ll be a while before I write anything worthwhile.

In the mean time, enjoy the archive.

Sing Like You Think No One’s Listening

Wednesday, August 10th (2016) @ 22:30 EDT

It’s been a while.
Summer flares in rebellion to autumn’s swift approach, and children’s days become a little shorter, a little less exciting (except for those who need not be taught).
For a season of death, fall brings such welcome tidings as sunburnt memories ferment like fine champagne.

“For the Lilies”

As I write this you lie sleeping in the room beside me.
A few days from now you’ll be gone once again, and I don’t know what I’ll do.
We always think we have just a little longer, even with the finish line in sight.
And though already you’ve gone, I still linger each time I pass by your door.

I dream as the sun rises because I can choose when to tend,
The furtive plowman digs deep, sowing victory into dead ends.
And as I plan another dozen summers sipping wine with dear friends,
Somewhere, pulsing deep, the heartache still mends.
