Anniversaries, The Big Apple, and Apparitions!

Greetings and salutations! Thought I would give y'all a bit of a progress report as to what's going on. I still have NOT heard back from the NYTimes. Honestly, it's like I'm a student checking to see if I've been admitted into the Ivy League school of my choice. I really, REALLY want this.Now, don't... Continue Reading →

It’s been a minute

Greetings and salutations! Alas, we're still in the middle of a roaring pandemic, BUT there are vaccines on the way. Plural! Hopefully 2021 will bring us to a semblance of a normal life when all is said and done. Being single has been incredibly tough during this time. It's totally disrupted my routines and caused...

The Prodigal’s Father and Hope for Dinner

Greetings and salutations!!! I'm writing this a couple of weeks, (give or take) from my birthday. I think birthdays are a good time to take stock and reevaluate your life. Just as New Year's is a good time to take stock of where you want to go for the calendar year, a birthday is a... Continue Reading →

“If We Shadows Have Offended…”

Greetings and salutations!!! 2020 and all the confusion continues, and I'll definitely talk more about Pride and Black Power in a subsequent entry. Moving on is a momentous step--no matter how it's done. Ending relationships, taking leaps forward without a safety net, but having the training necessary to do what is required in order to...

Remnants and Shadows

I wake up, and I feel tired, with just pieces of my dream that I can barely remember. But I think...it's about him. The frustrating thing is that I can't be sure. I can't be sure because everything that is happening in my dream state is cloudy and blurry. It's a haze of darkness and pallid hues; somewhere between the fine line of transluscence and and clarity. It's like the moment while the sun is shining but the fog is still out. It's incredibly frustrating.

Pandemic Ponderings: Part II

Hey y'all...greetings and salutations. In my previous post, I was pretty much trying to be uplifting and emphasizing all the good things that one can concentrate on. In this particular post, I'll delve deeper into some of the stuff one might be feeling--as I'm feeling it too. A little more personal, a little less cheerleading,... Continue Reading →

Pandemic Ponderings: I

Hey, greetings and salutations! 2020 is starting off with an incredible bang...and not in a good way. First things first.

Brideshead Revisited: Part 1

Greetings and salutations!! It's been an incredibly long time since I've blogged, and I apologize for that. My blog has mainly been therapeutic and as I've continued to heal and grow, my desire to write has become less and less. That being said, I find myself with a lot more time than I used to...

Salad Dressing–Olive oil and Vinegar (metaphorically speaking).

Greetings and salutations!!! I hope everyone is enjoying their summer. Obviously with me, it's been a summer and spring of wrenching emotions, etc, but I'm much better for it, and that's a good thing. No tales from the couch for the last session. As riveting as they must be to read, (LOL), the last session... Continue Reading →

To Be Or Not To Be…*trauma warning: suicide*

To be, or not to be, that is the question:Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to sufferThe slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,Or to take arms against a sea of troublesAnd by opposing end them. To die—to sleep,No more; and by a sleep to say we endThe heart-ache and the thousand natural shocksThat flesh is... Continue Reading →

Andre and Ken: A love story (an excerpt)

NB. ALL "Andre and Ken" blog entries have been made public!!! And after a year of knowing Ken, being friends with him, hearing his hopes and fears, and listening to Ken's travails in life, I realized that Ken and I had something more than friendship, and less than being lovers. I wanted that to change.... Continue Reading →

I am Frankenstein’s Monster

Some days are harder than others, especially in terms of self image. Every now and then, I list the qualities and characteristics that I can bring to a relationship, and curse the fact that it is wrapped up in such an unattractive package. “There is love in me the likes of which you've never seen....

Inferno: A auto-biographical poem

Inferno Some days I am a fire Roaring and sparking, all encompassing, Giving off heat and light, Visible to all. My passions are the fuel for my flame And the audience the oxygen.
