I feel as if I am, for you at times even.
More passion than others find comfortable to
wear as theirs. Begging you to feel it with me.
Eclectic, others call me, an artist type they say.
Filled with hopes and dreams for many.
Animated, expressive with hands and heart.
Laughing too loud, painting with abandon,
writing recklessly and singing out loud [...]
Each month I’m going to work on updating the TLL featured author, the topics of the month, and the editor’s blog pick of the month. This doesn’t mean that there won’t be new content on TLL all month. As a matter of fact I am working on some celebrity interviews, movie reviews, and most importantly [...]
…I have music.
I breathe, sleep, eat, and live music. It’s been that way for as far back as I can remember. Music has brought my many memories, helped me through hard times, brought friends together, helped me make new friends… It’s my way of communication, my motivation through everyday, and my way to stay positive.

Shattered
I hate this ache
you have released,
This ravening beast
that was my heart,
Once tame and quiet.
I called the shots,
then you appeared
To touch my soul,
and opened with one kiss
The locks and chains of careful years.
The frightful power
of lust enflamed,
Freed by your touch, a moment’s rush
of whispered magic words;
All my crafty layers
placed precisely here and here
To cover each small [...]
They all look like you. She has your eyes in just the right light. Another has your hair, always in that beautifully sloppy pony tail. There was one that had your cheeks, and yet another your lips, but none of them have your smile. A smile that I have traced over and over in my [...]
I feel most happy when I roll over in bed and see her.
I feel most hungry when I get off work and haven’t eaten since 1.
I feel most sad when I think about how far away my siblings are.
I feel most proud when I look at what I’ve accomplished in comparisson with the rest of [...]
This is what it was like for me, the first time.
the ocean
when I asked
what it was
like
to know a
woman
my dear one
replied
with infinite
wisdom,
“it is like
the ocean”
…..
and I
was
rolling and,
spinning and,
holding
the air
in my
lungs
so I would
not drown
eyes shut
but
mind open
under
and
over
and over
again
waves crashed
hard
and soft
on me.
and I
rode them
to
shore
floated
blissfully free
while tethered to
her.
clarity in
disorientation
the touch of
water
on my
skin
the feel of
heat
on her
breath
the sound of
desire
in
us
and all
around.
