On Broken Hearts: Two Odes

Posted: January 23, 2010 at 9:00 pm

Well, I figure it is high time I bring this up… I have talked before about letting go and the difficulty of deciding whether or not to but I haven’t truly, to my recollection, addressed my thoughts on breaking hearts. Sure, I’ve talked about the damage all people have felt but never really talked about [...]

Preemptive Strikes

OK, here is the situation*: You are infatuated with someone you see almost everyday but you aren’t sure how they feel about you. There are times when things seem to be heading towards becoming more personal (ie, s/he feels the same way about you as you do about them) but there are also times when [...]

Letting Go

Like dropping addictions, letting go of someone with whom one have emotional attachment incurs withdrawal and a great amount of pain. In the end, however, it has great benefits and serves as an experience of growth if done well and “in time.”

My Meandering Mind

Posted: May 4, 2009 at 8:12 pm

One step, two step, three step, four. Off the map my mind meanders Leaving my limp body behind in limbo. Vivid imaginings inspired by hope rise. A world of fantasy awaits me inside. Abandoning reality, I float above cloud nine. “Hello, dear” Love romanticized feels real. “Farewell, my love” Real heartbreak awaits below.

I’ve been rejected in some interesting fashions and by, oddly enough in hindsight, some very different women. What I have [...]

Have you ever been on a retreat and the person speaking told the story of your life as their story?

No reason for the season

So, I have spent many hours debating over what type of blog to post for this occasion of February 14, 2009. I have a lot of options here: I could put on a pity party for being single or I could philosophize about the abstracts of love; I could talk about how women don’t know [...]

The Sounds of Silence. . .

Posted: December 7, 2008 at 10:40 pm

So, I wrote a poem a few years ago about a particular relationship and how it ended (well, to be fair, it never really started, but the friendship has been on thin ice since). The basic theme is silence: the silence of never responding to me when I would talk about how I felt about [...]

Fallen Angels, Broken Saints: Bruises from a Tree

Posted: November 18, 2008 at 12:28 am

There is, or was, an email/chain mail being passed around about an Apple Tree. To sum it up succinctly: The “good” apples on the top of the tree are the women who are pure, clean, worthy of love and deserving of respect. The “good” apples on the top are the ones Men should be striving [...]
