Dear Friend,

When will I see you again?

I heard that life's unfair

That the one you share your heart with has become ensnared

I'm writing you to tell you, it's OK to be scared

And I really, really care

I'll always be there.

Sincerely,
Your Friend

There is no such thing
as a bad writer,
just one who isn't sad
- not sad enough.

Rain makes me wax poetic, I'm not sure if this state of being is good but if I could help it I wouldn't be here.
I have someone in particular to thank for this, for good or ill. I wouldn't be here if not for them regardless of the rain, perhaps the rain really.makes me think.of them from witch kits to "4 a.m. knows all my secrets" many long years, many gods and angels, the real demons are in our thoughts, whispering things we already know, the worst thing they can do is tell us the truth, and the devil is in the details.

I wonder after the things I've lost, opportunities ideas or house keys, people most of all, so many I was white close with, where does intimacy go when it does? When you see a person, in a Wal-Mart, at a bus stop, on Facebook, in your dreams and say, "where have "we" been? I miss "us", emotions are energy, if energy can never be destroyed then what happens to it? The snap and crackle of synapses that used to mean love but now are unreplied messages on Facebook or on a phone. We've become island into ourselves floating in lonely seas while what once was is  laid neglected in a friendship elephant graveyard.

Instead of hiding and numbing
I decided to engage
Sure, it's scary,
intimidating,
Vulnerable
But I rather engage with my heart beating rapidly and vibrantly
Than sit back in the sidelines
Making opinionated observations
As an excuse not to engage
So bring the good times,
Bring the storms
I want everything
I come unarmed.

Happy Halloween!
To share my dreams with
To sleep next to every night
To laugh with everyday
To have children with
To love and cherish
To marry one day
To watch endless movies with
To spend forever with
To simply BE with
I would choose you
Every single time
EVERY SINGLE DAY
*ALWAYS
I love you.
