Journey

Journey into the darkness, that leeches the soul of light, engulfs with chasms, insurmountable at first. But in all journeys, the light carves out its path, unleashes its torrent — bathes us all in radiance. So clothe oneself and all one sees with unconditional love — allow the beams to reverberate and pulse like waves… Continue reading

Updates and Thoughts on Love, Empathy, and Accountability

I feel like I’ve been ill a long time. I am working on managing my C-PTSD in a healthy way as well as slowly working through my healing. But I also face a growing weakness in my right side that randomly seems to turn into numbness and painful tingling or abdominal pain. As for what… Continue reading

I am trying to heal from the conditioning of past trauma by recognizing the problem and how I am more then my trauma and PTSD. … The inception of the distorted, forgotten song — howls through my ear-drums, tears my synapses until… Continue reading

Important Truths We Must Face

I am a pacifist at heart. However, not all ideologies and opinions are equal and okay to freely express, and sometimes one must take a stand even if it means risking it all to fight against hateful ideologies such as neo-Nazism and white supremacy. I’d like to hope we can defeat such destructive ideologies, bills/laws,… Continue reading

In regards to character descriptions

A question asked in the Legendfire Writing Critique Forum I help moderate focused on clothing aspects of character descriptions. My reply on the thread expanded that to the wider viewpoint of how clothing and the overall outward presentation of a character can differ based on culture and ethnicity and/or race and influence how the character… Continue reading

Both the fractals and poems explore the beauty I shared with my former partner but also… Continue reading

National Poetry Month: A Ghazal: Pain

National Poetry Month: A Return to the Ghazal I originally wrote this poem on April 11, 2017 but debated posting it on my blog. It chronicles a journey I took recently, where it felt like my internal self was being erased by others and my story disregarded or distorted by others. I am still recovering… Continue reading

This was from a prompt given on Legendfire Writing Forum. Prompt was to write an Octopoem. Directions here. The fractal I created in Chaotica rather than my usual Apophysis 7.x program. Embers Scorching blue embers Straddles fall leaves Inside a small, thirsty forest Then a screeching sand-storm Sears and ignites the forest’s undergarments It cavorts… Continue reading
