The Day of Unbearable Truths
25th wakes up
with the taste of lies
still warm on its tongue.Not grand lies,
not operatic betrayals,
but the small,
intimate ones,
the ones spoken softly,
the ones wrapped in promises,
the ones that sound like hope
until they don’t.This is the day
when the month feels
an unbearable pain,

“Burned out the TV set
Burned outta sex
I ain’t trashed
I’m fucking wrecked.”– Sammy Hagar
In a Sammy Hagar mood tonight. This was a drinking song back in the day. Enjoy.. Appreciate you.

Holding Hands

They held hands
They smiled
They illuminated the skyChairs were held
Giggles slipped freely
And the thought of

There is a motion, a movement to everything, to life. It has a direction and it is forward, not backward. For love to last, it has to change as the people involved change and as the world around them change. I have found this is how love, or any relationship, evolves, strengthens and continues. It is fun to remember the way we were, but even more…Read More

I enjoyed this one. Without a doubt, if holding hands is how it ends…I would not change a thing.

“Would you ever want the loop to end?“
That’s a great, almost philosophical question. Some people like to escape a loop because they only see the endless repetition of the same actions. To me it holds the chance to experience new aspects of old routines on the basis of familiar facts. It’s adventurous and reliable at the same time.
Great write, dear Fia!-

I recently had a co worker/friend who lost her husband. He was a young guy too. I read this feeling like you could have wrote this for them, and my heart breaks all over. Thank you for this sad beautiful read.

Finding a soul mate is hard enough in a lifetime but then losing them?
Yes, that ending line does beg the question many people would agree to.
Great piece.-

Insidious
I’m willing to sacrifice myself
to prove the truth
of my words
of meare you willing to do the same?
lies…
in time…
will be uncovered
and everyone will seethe scuttling
ear to ear
insidiously whispering
it will be seenI have never changed
eventually they’ll know
and perhaps remember
but it will be too…Read More![Profile Photo]()

I think that perhaps the question might be, do they have a conscious to listen to?? Often the conscious is suppressed by the ego of self, and thinking that self is the be all and end all of everything. Hell, it’s even written into the Constitution… ‘the pursuit of happiness’. My happiness versus your happiness. What an “insidious” way to live!!…Read More

The idea that one person’s “right or wrong” should apply to all is absolute arrogance. And the thought that disagreement on concept or friend choice should be cause for attack is insane. Differences are what we’re made of, it’s what makes us beautiful as a human ra e, and it’s our greatest strength…if we embrace them with love. To turn on others…Read More
