Discourse on Grief

I sit here today and I think of you. I think of you often, everyday even, but today it’s supposed to be different because today is your birthday and it both is different and isn’t different all the same. The missing you is still the same, the cruel way the brain can skip down memoryContinue reading “Discourse on Grief”

Discourse on Duality

There exists in me so many versions, “duality” doesn’t seem to cover it. Yet, I guess anything can be broken down into binaries…I am many versions of myself. I am all sorts of confluencing parts & pieces, so often seemingly at odds, by their very nature. I worry I am both too smart and notContinue reading “Discourse on Duality”

First Encounter

I could write about storms or sunshine, I could regale you with tales of drama and debauchery, or I could lament, but oh how I’ve already lamented (can one ever lament too much though, really?). Surely those aren’t the only options but less I digress into endless list making and distract myself from the taleContinue reading “First Encounter”

dangerous liaisons (the best friend)

There’s a first time for everything, I guess. I never imagined there would be a first time for this though. As I lay in bed, watching the morning light streaming through the haphazard blinds, casting lazy shadows on the hardwood floor, I couldn’t help but flash back to scenes of last night. How could somethingContinue reading “dangerous liaisons (the best friend)”

the heat of may

I had just done something I’ve never done before. Sure I had written stories like that before, I had posted them online, read by my friends and enemies alike, inhibitions truly free, but never before had I written a story specifically for someone. With someone in mind. His essence dripping from word to word, hisContinue reading “the heat of may”

She shuddered as she considered the brevityContinue reading “madness under moonlight”
