I Love All Over

I am a rapt lover. Wrapped in love. I love all over. I am stagnant in a fugitive moment. Flashing touch. Fleeting and focused. I love all over. Twisted. Tangled. Transfixed on emotion. Every word. Every breath. I am attached and devoted. I love all over. I adore and he desires. I am high and […]

Time Finds Me

Time found me on a bridge. He saw my face. He saw my fear… Time asks, “Do you plan to jump?” I look into his eyes. His soul is cloudy. But not the kind of clouds you expect before a storm. No. His storm was over, but the clouds still linger. Gray-blue clouds circling a […]

Tinder Files Part 1-Coming Soon

So I’ve often joked with Miss Drinking and Diving about creating a drinking game based off our experiences on tinder. You know, as women seeking men, there are a lot of standard sights on the ole swiperoo app-shirtless selfies, holding a freshly caught fish, flipping off the camera, etc. Fellas, from my limited experience of […]

Sometimes

Sometimes we distance ourselves from others because they have qualities we dislike in ourselves. Sometimes it’s easy to be fed up and annoyed, thinking ‘how could they be that way?’ all the while remembering times we’ve acted the exact same way. It prompts a period of self reflection, which is good and sometimes painful. Growth is […]

Time Talks

Time became an invariably dense object that I could not manipulate. I walked backwards. I thought Time would follow. I forged ahead. Time marched in place and then laughed at my attempt. Time says, “Buy a canvas. Cover it with everything you think I am.” I reply, “Haven’t I already?” Time answers, “no.” I do […]

This Child Can Scream

“This child can scream,” I think to myself. I can barely stand his shrieks. I wait a few minutes before glaring at his mother. While these seconds pass, thoughts grow within me; I can go places that she cannot go. I can sleep when I am tired or stay up all night if I want […]

I Love Hard

I love. Hard. I love often. I am surprised, though, that I am loved so well by so many. The many that love me do not receive my love in return. I only love the unloveable. I often wonder if these unloved things will be at my funeral. It is love that will kill me […]

Mobile Dating Part Two

I surveyed several single male friends that use online dating sites and asked, “What are you tired of seeing on women’s profiles?” The results were alarming. Warning ladies… Men know that you don’t ride horses in real life. They are on to us. They may not know how or where we find the horses to […]

The Melody

I met you in a graveyard The place I go to be alone Sauntering among the flowers Through grasses outgrown. That day I heard a melody A disembodied undertone I follow this strange sound Tolling in my bones I feel the sting of hope From this pleasant unknown Now I am close enough […]

My Soul Is Three Years Old

Sometimes I am okay with getting older. Most of the time, I am not. I like to pretend that the years I have gained don’t exist. I also do this with pounds. In my thoughts of thoughts, I am 22 years old and I weight 135 lbs. In real life, add 10 to the first […]
