All they do is take
Once upon a time
I was in love with a man
but he betrayed me.
He
took
my
chocolate
covered
pretzels.
Leaving me no choice
but to kill him.

I didn’t draw tonight! Too too tired.
inside of me is a tiny kitten, shivering
it only eats hugs and chocolate
it must be well fed
it eats every thirty minutes
if it doesn’t get its food
it starts to see monsters
In the shadows on the walls
it shuts its eyes and imagines
and if you let it alone too long
it panics.
here kitty kitty
don’t be scared
these monsters you see
are just your own shadow
this thing with claws
that’s you
this thing with horns
that’s you
this red wall
that’s you
all of it is you
but it’s no use
talking to a kitten
when all it really understands
is hugs and chocolate.
I’m just not up to snuff tonight, so here’s something abstract and random.
I had a headache this afternoon because I quit sugar again.
I’m not good about staying off of it.
My tolerance keeps building up and then I have to quit again.
Trickling stream
Sourced from the abundance
I hear crystal sounds
I hear the water spray
I hear the rocks
Solid
They go deep, deep
I hear the earth
It is the source of all magic
I hear myself
I hear you
I hear the plants, the animals
I feel the connection
We are all
One great big
Interconnected
Biological unit.
This earth
Sustains itself
Even the air is part of us
The earth is a great big chocolate truffle
With a moist outside
Several crispy layers of rock and earth
And on the inside
A warm, spicy, molten core.
I just quit sugar today
Unfortunately I can’t partake
I’ll not be a part of the planet today thank you very much
I’ll just sit on the sidelines and watch.
But before you know it
I’ll build up a tolerance
And find myself eating it again
I just love
That earthy flavor
You are my comfort.
You wrap me in your warm embrace.
Softly console me when I cry.
You know me inside and out.
The only one I can rely on.
Any time, day or night
You are there
Always willing to spark a little joy
Into my waning mindset.
You are so tender
But sometimes you have a little bite.
Rough around the edges
You are bitter enough to match me
You are sweet enough to sweeten me
I can feel my brain chemistry change in your presence
When you are gone your memory lingers.
Why is it that nothing good can last?
My greatest love
My finest friend
My hopeless addiction
O chocolate brownie
