Fashion confounds the mind, explores desires and dreams, expresses individuality and invites the world to take a second look, when it is done well. When it is not, fashion is just a hot mess.
I find myself growing more and more frustrated with the fashion scene. At one time originality, elegance, creativity and glamour ruled the [...]
William Congreve wisely said that “Hell Hath No Fury Like a Woman Scorned.” My grandfather once said “the stupidest thing a man can do is turn his back on a woman when she is angry and has scissors in her hand”. I think both men were quite wise beyond their years. The leaders in Iran [...]
I just got the most amazing news. One of my closest girlfriends is getting married! I was ecstatic, elated and eager to find out the details. How did it happen? WHEN are you getting married? WHERE are you getting married? What about the ring? Then, I stopped for a second and thought. Wait a minute [...]
That’s what I have been trying my best to do - to just mind my own business. Seems to get harder and harder to do these days. When I see the people around me making terrible decisions, screwing things up in a major way, without really understanding the mistakes they are making, it is hard [...]
Who loves you Baby? Those were the first words I saw when I logged into my email. You’re nobody until somebody loves you, right? Heard someone singing that to me on the way to work. If you’re not with the one you love, love the one you’re with. What? Seems pretty dangerous to me [...]
Flower petals on my door step
Led me to your arms
Poems fell on me like leaves in a storm
Adoration, overwhelming, suffocating
Now dissipating
Change takes its form in silence
Too quiet to be seen
To loud to avoid
Pounding my brain, my heart
Destructive, destroying, desecrating
Contemplating the darkness
Searching for lightness that once dwelled
Now loneliness swells my skin
About to burst from the pressure
Ready [...]
I skulked quietly into the room, selecting one of the seats near the rear, closest to the door in the off-chance that I needed to make a run for the exit. I sat uncomfortably in the metal chair, folding my arms in a failed attempt at warmth. My head was tilted downward, my eyes cast [...]
When I was a young girl, nothing could be more exciting than the first moments stomping down the hall on Christmas morning. My eyes were still trying to adjust to the light, I was sliding around on the linoleum in my fuzzy socks, still wearing my colorful nightgowns and ready and willing to destroy any [...]
Why won’t you listen?
Why can’t you hear?
I keep on screaming
But my words seem to disappear
I am asking for safety
Wishing for hope
My heart grows tired
And I’m at the end of my rope
You stand there staring
I just wish you could see
That loving alone
Is slowly destroying me
I have fought my last fight
I’m bruised and scared
Now I need you
To [...]
Sitting here
Spinning glasses in the light
The bar smells dark and dangerous to me
I can’t see where you’ve gone
Don’t know where I’ve been
Hopefully we will meet somewhere
In between
Under the bar lights
While the melodies hang in the air
Suffocating me
