I get to do this tonight


We drank iced coffee and told our dreams in the sand








Hamburg, Germany


I want to go where the ghosts go


I asked him to run away with me and leave all this behind...


I stepped onto her streets and knew London would have a part of my heart forever







Cafe Le Monde- London

   I sat at this cafe all afternoon writing. I met a guy with amazing socks who wanted to see me again. I smiled and told him I would write about him someday.

Helen Stellar- "Newton"

big and small

I feel like I'm Alice in Wonderland and my life is a monstrosity of bizarre characters and nonsense. Life is so strange. I'm here, living my life in one place, yet my mind and heart are somewhere else.

To think of you that way now, it could only be written for lovers


Zero Pancakes


Maybe I’m just hazy
All of this talk of writing is making me fucking crazy
Maybe it’s heightened by expectations and the need to feel validated
At all times I have created
Mystery
I asked seven people today if they wanted pancakes with me
No takers
No blueberries on my tongue to satisfy my need for existence 
So again I eat alone
I grimace at the ugly face on the other side of lonely
That other word for lonely that we’ll call
Forgotten 

Mother


A mother trickles down those lost and lonely stairs
People tell her that she’s beautiful but she doesn’t seem to care
To catch her off the box is a rare sight indeed
Another world, another planet she really wants to be
Because she does not partake in the shallow things we do
Her orb contains a heart bigger than any of us knew 
Stronger than the waves crashing upon that frightful sea
Her blue and grey stories meant everything to me
She sings her songs of courage, she sings her songs of grace
Her poetic words of parting the men always have to chase
As a little girl she skipped and granted other people magic
Soft hands floating above the piano like doves who seem to have it
Go now into the unknown without fear
Please, can’t someone tell her she knows her destiny?
She knows her inevitable point in time, you see
I decided to walk into your dream and not only inspire but
I changed it
Because I’m your umbrella you carry with you
Through the rain which seldom breaks your heart
Sleep tight my dear, for soon you’ll feel the Arizona sun
And with conviction it tells you the new day has begun.
