How did those maple leaves get in your bathtub?Meh.  I don’t know.Shrug shrug. What would you like to have for dinner?Meh. I dunno.Shrug shrug. Did you enjoy the movie last night?Meh. Sheesh.Eye roll.I thought the movie was rather boring and am thinking of making sushi for dinner. I wonder if I have any seaweed sheets. I need ginger too, of course. Wait! Where are you going? Meh. I dunno.Shrug shrug.Sigh…….. 

Next Stop

Beat poem

It's crazy what you can find inside your mind sometimes. Scary, at the very least, and yet it comes in rhymes. Sometimes. I stepped up to someone I thought I knew, but it wasn't you. You knew it too. Didn't you? I fell into a colorful dream of dark and grey misbeliefs and thought I'd thought of everything. Inside I silently scream. Restlessness inside this day, wishing you could take it all away until I pray and pray. Ple...

Everlasting Friendship

For a spiky haired kid who took a chance on a friend

I wish you could see what you mean to meWhere we have gone and where we will beWe were two souls connected in the nightAn email that started a friendship so right Tears, laughter, and naughty things Fun times, joys, and stories of ping'sHush Little One and Seduction by SlumberThese things we write without encumber Seeing through the chaos in my headHelping me see what needs to be said Through love, pain and heartacheYou'r...

Clearing

It's not so bad

It all seems silly nowWhere I once stood firmIt's not a place at allIt took this long to learnPerhaps with jaded perceptionI created an alternate stateA place that withstood timeAnd so I was never lateDoesn't that sound great?But something happenedI allowed myself to loveI nurtured and protectedDespite words said aboveI made so called friendsAnd I let my love showI allowed myself to feelUntil reality had to let me goI fel...

 Heart-Shaped Pendulum                 There is so much in my mind right now, but the most conflicting part would be the memories, I guess. The memories of us. It cuts my heart, but at the same time, it warms my soul. I know I will remember every second of you for as long as I breathe. The two-year long relationship we share will be forever burnt into my brain, like a heart-shaped pendulum, as a strong wave in the calm oc...

Wish

Wishing someone was near

Wish you were with me this sleepless night. Wish I knew what you thought in dawn's light. Wish I was in your arms that held me so tight Wish I can honestly believe we will be alright. Wish you were not gone so far out of my sight. Wish I knew if I still bring you so much delight. Wish I send above to the stars shining bright. Wish we were dancing under the pale moonlight. Wish to be able to once again say good night   

Thought of You

Missing someone hurts

thought of you today as I woke from a restless night thought of you today staring off into the sunlight thought of you today as I watched my girl play thought of you today my wish for Valentine's day thought of you today when the stars came out thought of you today I want to scream and shoutthought of you today alone and curled up in bed thought of you today of all the words left unsaid thought of you today as again the t...

I have so much love for the arts and anything creative. It just sets my heart on fire, and that's why I'm always trying out different things here and there.I was trying to do a little bit of writing. I get my inspiration mostly from my friend Anthony Chansa. I swear this person can write no lie and my aim is to be even at least half as good as him.It is the tiny piece of writing I did last night when I couldn't sleep. It'...

Awarding Reward

I am in shock

My daughter is in 2nd grade. Last week I received a note in a sealed envelope from her teacher. Extremely confidential. It read something like..."Your child has achieved a major accomplishment in which an award will be received at Tuesday's award ceremony. This is to be a surprise. Please do not tell your child."Wow. She's getting a major award!! I couldn't stop my mind from wondering and dreaming of what her great accomp...

Thing

Haven't posted anything in ~6 months, just had to get something off my chest.

Adrian Gabardo It’s been long since I last wrote to you, but its times like these, when my thoughts are so scrambled that I can’t think straight, that I need to pick up the pen and put these feelings down somewhere. It’s been a long year, very much useless and very eventful. I could tell you all about it, how I’ve cared less and less about my well-being, about my own self, how I can’t keep a relationship going for more th...

Wasted Space

The truth doesn't always set you free

Have you ever lost your mind? Lost track of time or forgotten your name? Have you ever looked in the mirror in shame? Have you ever folded and still won the game? Does anything look the same?Have you ever made promises you are happy to have kept, even though your pillow is soaked with tears wept? Have you ever wondered if it's sleep or slept? Have I? Yes. I have nothing left.My biggest fear is coming true and there is not...

Understanding

There are many who know you, but very few who understand you.

I want to do good, make people happy. I want to forgive, I want to understand.I don't want to be judged. Therefore I will try never to judge. I want to be loved and cherished. I wish to love and to cherish. Breathe... look in the mirror. None of us were born to be perfect.Not one...Let your shoulders drop. Un-clench your hands and jaw. Relax.Take a deep breath, let it out, let it go... Now repeat aloud...I am awesome!I am...

Why?

"Dear 3am, we have got to stop meeting this way... I’d much rather sleep with you." - Insomniacs.

Why are you such a jerk, brain? Why is this the time of day I suddenly feel most awake and alive? Seriously, I must question my sanity entirely when at 4:37am I am so over the not sleeping and all the thinking, questioning, analysing that I consider going out and about for a walk and dancing in the early Spring drizzle in the dead of the night. Actually that sounds like a really swell idea, but I can't be bothered getting...
