They say that time heals all wombs, but I dont really think so. Because it has been years since I lost my mommy and my only child, my son, and the pain that I yet feel, is still as fresh as it was in 1987 (my mom),...and 2002 (my son ).They carried a piece of my heart with them! I was very close to my mom and my son. May they both R.I.P.I love you both! Miss you too!

FORGOTTEN Thoughts from beyond the grave

FORGOTTEN (Thoughts from beyond the grave)

I literally thought this up on the spot whilst out walking in Uxbridge in Middlesex. I walked past a graveyard that had seen better days and noticed how unkempt most of the gravestones were and it was saddening to see. That is when I thought how it must be for the dear departed once their memory became further and further away from their onceloved ones :(

Dawn's Shadows

Dawn tugs playfully pulling down nights blanket. A single rising belly takes shape upon the mat, then another,another. Impossibly thin arms, legs, taunt leather faces ... emerge. Teeth, curly hair, pinned beneath mountainous bellies.

Breaking Vamp

Breaking Vamp

My husband drank himself to death. My21 year old daughter"(eyes that watched deer and squirrel run"died of liver cancer. I keep it out of my days or could not exist.

Dead Flowers

Dead Flowers

basically its about a girl from this book called "Brody's Ghost" and how she was sitting in a hospital bed dieing with lukemia. And she finally did, but all she could think about, were the flowers in the vases, that were dieing, just so she could feel better, but they only made her feel worse.

The Widows Draw

The Widow's Draw

I am really a widow, I lost my husband in 2004. If I would have known that waiting all this time for the experience of "online dating" and all the "widowers" that have contacted me..I think I would have just, I don't know, visited bars more often! I cannot imagine how many women have died and left their men all alone!!!! Not.
