Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

I want to feel
The sands of Ancient Mesopotamia
Between my toes
While in search of
The un-tangible
Hanging gardens of Babylonia

Listen to the sounds
Of the Sirens’ song
While sailing
Across the lengths of
The Aegean Sea

Feel the sensational warmth
Envelope my body
As the coca
Slides down my ...

I said I'm done writing
Well, that lasted all but 30 minutes
Here is what happened
I associated writing wrongly
Put down my pen
Closed the laptop
Poured my favorite drink
Sat on my stoop
With cigarette and drink in hand
I began to breathe in sounds
Children playing, dogs barking,
Cars driving by ...

Just a painful as initial loss
My body fights to hold
What was not mine to begin with
This is gonna take some time
You were there for many reasons
You were there for me
When I needed someone the most
Showed me gentle love and patients
When all I have known is
Abuse and a blackened heart
I thank ...

Time to say good-bye
To my best friend
My love of my life

Time to say good-bye
To Writing
Hello to something else
I'm not very good anyway

Time to say good-bye
Maybe in my next life
I'll try again
Not in this one
No way, no how

Time to say good-bye
Until the end of my time
I will discover beauty ...

I know this story all to well. Great write.....more, more, more.

CS- We have established how similar we are I almost wonder if there is two of me in thought at least. We have shared so many similar experiences and the private conversations we have also strengthened this. You have become a wonderful confidant I thank you for that. I would have to give you the ...

It really torques my snooty when I am watching some legislative leader talking to the public in their Armani suit about Food Stamps. What right does he or she have to say sure I will fix the country and give one person out of five thousand a job for minimum wage while I deposit my monthly check of ...

Nice write, rite.

Miscommunication sucks...... You may want to re-evaluate your heading it looks as though things may have been misconstrued from the title alone. I have also read the story of Snow White before it became fantasized what a horrific story indeed.

One of my favorites from you. Thank you for sharing.

Very lovely write. I enjoyed this very much.....

Is it time to be me yet?
Just wondering
I have to be so many people
For so many people
Overwhelming dysfunction
Brain is malfunctioning
Strong for every individual
Do it all
Run circles around most in one day
Sometimes I would love to run away
But then I finally close my eyes
For them to open ...

My cup run-ith over
My plate is full
My eggs are falling
Out of their basket

Permanent tattoo
Never ending spiral of shit

Sibling rivalry
Homework
Hours and hours of homework
Run a business
Caretaker of 6
Besides myself
An over full load of college
Teaching a young man
To be a man
Teaching a ...

Nicely done saw. The depiction of a conversation between two unknown individuals and one being so self absorbed i laughed out loud when reading this piece. Been there done that checked it off my list (:

No need for love on certain occasions
Nor entertainment to amuse me temporarily
Just some sort of normal you see
Everything is crazy
I just want to be happy
Which is just impossible for me

I just don't get it
Like the one before
He love a crack whore more
Same with the one before that
And before that
And the ex-husband before that

Is it the......
Pock scarred face
Clammy sweaty embrace
Dirty syringe dangling
So high she doesn't know you are alive
She'd rather you dead
Abusing ...
