Sea Salt

I have this shell up to my ear
and I can hear the ocean roar
but the magic of sea salt,
whether swimming around my ankles
or in deep dark chocolate,
is not here. 
I'm holding this shell up to my ear
and I hear your voice 
making a promise to return my call
but the magic of confidence,
whether rippling around my shortcomings
or through my misgivings
is not here. 
You
are not here. 




Mixed Emotions

Before I could be angry
that you had invaded my coffee shop 
I wiped espresso off my lips
and fluffed my hair
as if you ever cared
about my hair.

Oh Hey, Blogspot

I promise, I had not forgotten about this blog. I guess we just needed some time apart. I have needed time away from a lot of things and people and I have more clarity now than I have in a long time, maybe ever. 

I really want to get back on track with blogging. I would also like to invest more time in promoting this blog and gaining readership. I have at times viewed writing as a pastime, but I am realizing that it is a continuous activity in my life and I may as well do something with it. 

Keep a lookout for more regular postings. And don't even remind me how many times I have said that before.
