A small matter of cloudy gray matter...

I have fallen off the focus. Focus is like a proverbial wagon for alcoholics. Mine has crashed, exploded, and refused to meld back together like a T-1000 from the Terminator movie.

Tweaking "The Salon" and sending it in to the L. Ron Hubbard sci-fi contest. I am scared. This one is truly my baby and not sure if I can take them possibly talking smack on my kid! Let us pray to the golden gods of pen and hope they do not ........

Since I've Been Gone......

It has awhile since I have written .....life and lack of good Internet access have a tendency to always get in the way. ....So update time.....I am cancer free ...hopefully still will be when I go the doctor in  few weeks. I am still losing weight but now it is at a healthier pace.  I am still doing hair and insurance both keeping me busy.
Writing has not been on the back burner....FINALLY. I have been writing more than ever and plan to start submitting finally. Wish me luck.

In the lifestyle department going to start a 30 day crunch challenge which updates will be accessible through StylistByDay Blog.

I am looking forward to challenging  myself in all areas of my life not just the weight and writing.....I have a goal and an outfit dangling at the end of the chain and writing contest to fuel me.....So what challenge are you facing and what is your motivation....???

Justice

Wicked movements, sharp sticky, pained
She inflicts without care with careful consideration
A tale is woven of distrust and abuse
Spun with gold honey and tears

Eyes averted, she feigned
Crystal eyes, she begged for adoration
Words cunning but obtuse
Blending veracity and aspersion for years

The lies caught up, she deigned
Picked up a needle to weave a cover of defamation
So heavy it is, it turns inward, so profuse
She will suffocate and choke, she disappears

And this makes me smile.....

"Never shall I be all subdued nor the real secret of me understood; passionately and violently my body may be possessed, but my spirit always virgin, will wander on forever unpossessed!" Mercedes De Acosta

Uploading

I have found that uploading from my phone is a pain in the ass. It also creates stupid white boxes on the sides and doesn't let me fix typos. Grr......

Equillibrium

My heart breaks
But not in a single line
A jagged formation
From broken bottled glass
Stained with the misery
Of a thousand drunken nights
Waiting
Holding on
To an illusion of comfort
Never had
Grasping at the golden ring
That drops outside of grasping fingers
Teasing the hungry soul
Would you deny the rage
That spills on this canvas
For the honor of a ticket
To this ride
To this theme park
Of pain?
