About me

I am unknown. I sometimes live in the fairy tale world that exist in my mind. Once and a while my thoughts are lucid, the other 90 percent of the time they edge on insanity.
OK, In the real world, I have one 15 month old son. I have been married to my husband for 5 years. We reside in Raleigh NC.
I enjoy writing, as I believe the only way we can rid ourselves of our demons is to let them out. The safe way I do that is by writing.
My dream is to be a published author. I hope to fulfill this dream soon.

Garden Graveyard

Tomorrow,
Instead of the pea-green bud breaking

Tomorrow,
Instead of the communion of rainbows
Sharing their colors;
Tomorrow somehow
I plan to plant myself painted
Into a garden of plastic flowers.
Tomorrow ( I think)
Rain will cascade in sheets
Layer upon layer
Covering, shielding the birthplace
Where the beetle-bugs,
Engage each year in
this acrid feast,
Of death.

Dear father,
I will take my place with the orphaned arachnid
Cupped quick to the mouth
Swallowed in a fleeting flood
I will enter...
