When it comes to romantic relationships, distance can be a killer. Who are we kidding? Isn’t it hard enough to make local relationships work? How much more a relationship separated by miles, continents, and oceans apart? Is distance worth defying after all?

Is distance worth defying?

Will I? 2010/09/27

The ebbing of the tide is coming
Will I find solitude?
Loneliness
Crashing waves
Calming cool
Love to keep?

If I walk along the beach
May I never count grains of sand?
Only reach for beautiful shells with loving hands
Crushed by grief
Causing my heart to swell?

If I soar alone
Can I fly high? Without touching my mortal ground of loneliness?
Or will I smile? Thinking of loving you?
Or cry… missing you?

If tomorrow is not free
Tell me…
Will I?

*** Poetry writing is the sweetest escape to nursing  a broken heart.

Dead for a Second 2010/09/27

The feeling of being frozen even when standing in the noonday sunshine is not new to me anymore.

Today, I woke up crying inconsolably. It went on for thirty minutes or so. I was having another one of those occasional killer headaches. For a second, I thought I was going to die or so I thought. I seriously really hoped so since it is only 4:42 a.m. and I still have an excuse not to think properly. 

But then moments later, my little Lucas wrapped his tiny little arms around me. Huh, what was I thinking?

Painkillers are killing me.
