I like a woman with fire in her bones
And where her head should be,
There is a home.
And I wax and wane like crescents of the moon
If you turn away you might miss me,
I'll be gone soon.
Part of my inspiration comes from sharing my love of poetry with readers like you. I think to myself: there'd be no point to writing if I were my only reader! Thank you all for visiting!

Let me start with a cliche: I love to write.
Let me edit it: I love writing
Lying on the floor
Truths in my head
Think
Of me

Frustration
The frustration you get
When you wake up in the middle of the night
And can't fall back to sleep.
You look at the clock,
Hoping,
It'll soon be time to get up.
But then you realize
It's not even near that time.
It's like the sun knows when you're awake and,
Just to be grim,
Takes its time coming up.
So you lie there...
Trying to get some rest.
You squirm and change positions,
But still...
Nothing happens.
You begin to think about
Your life,
Your future,
The world,
Everything...
Then, all the bad thoughts become worse.
You think...
Maybe something might happen,
Or something may already have happened.
You try harder to fall asleep,
But you can't stop.
Can't stop thinking.
And you feel...
Troubled...
Overwhelmed...
And you can do nothing
to stop all the horrible thoughts from coming through.
Then you're at the stage where now,
Your thoughts aren't coming in patterns anymore.
They scatter...
Like a pigeons in a busy street.
So you lie there.
You've given up.
You feel hopeless...
Like no one could ever help you.
So you just wait...
Wait for everything to be over.
But just right then,
You fall back sound asleep,
Without a worry in the world.
And wake up 2 hours late.
Frustration.
