Liquid Temptation
Seen through the mirror
Disgust becomes clearer,
I only needed to see her
Stumble.
It humbles me to find,
The attraction of the vice,
Was purely in my mind.
A device I deployed,
Wholly to avoid,
The eating void
Of all that I lack.
The impact of seeing you
Stumbling under… Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #200 – Liquid Temptation”

Moonlit Musing – Infidelity
A whole becomes halved and doubled,
With a single lie.
A truth more complicated
than math could prove to be.
She escaped a healthy relationship
into the wilds of addiction,
A decision that destroyed
and created in equal unpleasant measure. Continue reading “Moonlit Musing – Infidelity”

finite. small.
‘…everyone should feel small at least once in their lives…’
Is that the prize to be found in the heart
Of the Heartland?
Beyond sight in the endless stretch
Of more than out of reach,
But still less than nothing –
To see, to feel, to be –
Perspective is a gift, right?
bite-size. tiny.
…we are just a speck in the infinite…
Is it only by being little that we can try
to be big?
Powerful beyond measure,
Rest assured, it’s more
A fear than a present. Continue reading “4.27.18 – Kansas”
Misplaced Missive #173 – My Heart
I gave you my heart,
Battered and used,
To do with as you choose.
Where it used to reside,
Now lies empty.
Waiting to be ready,
For the next heart to grow.
This was the one thing you taught me;
One thing I did not know:
Nothing stays hollow forever,
And the worst always gets better. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #173 – My Heart”
Misplaced Missive # 164 – What Price?
What price would you pay to change everything you are?
Transform all the parts that are lackluster…
This version of me;
This perversion of who I wanted to be…
Is so lacking,
But possesses so very much.
None of it needed.
So Take it all,
Break me, Make me,
Someone new. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive # 164 – What Price?”
Misplaced Missive # 150 – Role Playing
You play victim.
And I play villain,
So you can rise to the occassion.
I try too hard to fit squarely
Into the holes you’ve dug.
The role is too snug,
A poor fit for someone
With a disposition like mine,
These positions you’ve defined,
As the way we should interact. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive # 150 – Role Playing”
Panic! At the Desktop: An Anxiety Ridden Day
AKA Jessie doesn’t know how to be an adult and interact with other humans who seek to aid her in her quest for manuscript editing.
Sooooo yeah. Another blog style entry from me this week at Stevie’s encouragement. He’s been… moderately helpful in this whole process, but really, I think I rather enjoy being freaked out; after all, if I didn’t love it, why would I do it so very, terribly often?!? Continue reading “Panic! At the Desktop: An Anxiety Ridden Day”

Misplaced Missive #133 – All The Things You Hate
Villain-ize me with perceived evil deeds,
Stigmatize me with everything I’ll always be.
I’m all black and white, right?
Slight me with the way you wish I was,
Worse than I am,
Simply because it makes things simple. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #133 – All The Things You Hate”
Misplaced Missive #126 – Karma
Obey the family prophecy;

Around with hearts. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #126 – Karma”
