sometimes I say your name
just to feel it in the air around
me & though you’re never
too much for some who
can’t, these grievances
weigh on the time spent
naming each foot step
away - it’s 2019 & I still
miss you

And when lights go out,
And darkness falls upon us,
And you don’t want to go to sleep,
For you’re afraid of the night,
Remember I will be waiting,
To hold your hand,
And sing you a lullaby,
Till you fall asleep in my lap.

Dedicated to my future daughter / son if I’m lucky to be graced with one.
Sometimes,
It’s circumstances,
The time,
Other times,
It’s the distance,
That makes us realize,
The significance,
Of the relations,
We never heeded,
Only took,
For granted.
- DG
A healthy friendship will never force you to compromise your own values, your own passions, and your own little joys. It will always be there for you to inspire you in acting on the things that make you special, unique and most of all worthy of love.
Juansen Dizon, A Healthy Friendship (via juansendizon)
I painted you in the sun.
Spoke to my soul with words
of confidant love.
Grew as one another’s spouse-
until daylight turned
to dark nights.
I fell into your trap of deceitful ways;
Beginning of the end as you faded to a dark stormy life.
A man I once knew-
you changed and
I knew you no more.
R.A.
Thanks Be!
In the closing hours of 2018, I would like to send out a great big THANK YOU to all my friends on tumblr! You have been sooo inspirational!!
I would like to thank these blogs for their unceasing and indefatigable efforts in providing exceptional prompts all year: @writerscreed, @poetryportal, @inkstay, @savageprompts, and @abstractcommunity! So masterful and exciting! Something I had never tried before! It’s been great fun!
In addition, I want to give a very special thanks, and send out lots and lots of X’s and O’s, to a bunch of you! You’ve kept me on your dashboards all year! Unbelievable and humbling!
(After I wrote the following list, I realized it is a veritable who’s-who of some of the best poets and writers on tumblr! I feel like I’ve been touring a Grand Gallery of Artists all year!)
In no particular order:
@uschi-the-listener; @ellenya; @teaberrybee; @dontcryitsonlymike; @ionofalion; @warxpunkxmonk; @smittenbypoetry; @rhymingtherapy; @rabbruad1; @gracebabcockwrites; @thespiandrummer; @thespians-drumming; @theheightofdepression; @drearydaffodil; @thedreadgorgon; @aubriestar; @definegodliness; @mikefrawley; @katrinnac; @asorcererpoet; @inrumford; @bitsofstarglow; @jonaswpoetry; @praggya1993; @dbaydenny; @smakkabagms; @hex-n; @megiddo; @chucklingpecan; @star-wonder; @steprazor; @teacup13; @lend-your-lungs-to-me; @gypsycatlunagirl; @anjo-da-guarda-me; @anjo-emporium; @rhapsodyinblue80; @brokensoulsreborn; @electricarmchair; @savage-words; @adamantseal; @heartofmuse; @hecatesgrave; @hookersorcake
This is an incomplete list! Please forgive me if I missed mentioning you! You are all the most amazing people!
And last but not least, god bless ‘Tiny Tim’, er, tumblr that is. Although you’ve disappointed me in several ways, still, it’s a great platform to meet other artists and submit poetry! Here’s hoping you’re still a thing next year!
Let’s do it again in 2019!! Yaaay! Happy New Year!
Thank you so much for all the love and appreciation! Happy New Year!
