A bit of this and that
The view from my front porch (in Pennsylvania) or back patio (in London) every morning, in tweet-sized bites
too much coffee, too little sleep, a love of words...

welcome to my insanity.

the hope in a blown kiss crushed in time… this leaves a knot in the stomach because that finality could be a result of a lover on the run or a death…brilliant, my friend

Thank you, Thomas. I like it when there is enough room for individual interpretations. Obviously I have my ideas when I write but the thought that other people can mold it into something personal is a cool one.

I read this and thought of my good byes.. Isn’t it strange that sometimes mind morphs two or more things under the same identity which is always painful to relieve? I am never good after something else strikes violently against me ..
Have a good evening. I am calling it an early night.
