The heart doth surely bleed and the soul shall weep it’s lonely death. Life is a tear in the eyes of the universe. If only one could see. Let open your mind. Your heart shall never die.
All those micro-poems, lines of Haiku, creative thoughts and “Twitter Poems” have helped me learn how to write better. Often, those little bursts of creativity are seeds for larger and more complex ideas that grow into full poems. One of those little bursts on Twitter actually evolved into a full screenplay that I am writing. And the coolest thing is not only the instant feedback, but the reminder is always there in your timeline so you can ignite that larger idea on paper, in a blog and hopefully as a published work later on.

Two lost souls reaching out to each other. She embraces the pillows harder. Her soft flesh pressing into the fabric. Longing for warmth and [...]
What Demons are these lurking in my head. Waiting in the shadows, they stalk me each night. By day they sleep, distant memories of the past. At night they awaken feasting on my fears. The present is fleeting but the past is always there. What empty canvas that lays before me. Painted in blood, painted [...]
What I seek, Is a home for my soul, A place to rest my weary mind, Love to warm my heart, And someone to share it all with. What I seek, Is understanding and compassion, A place of acceptance where I may thrive, Deep Friendships to fill my life, And laughter to ease the pain. [...]
