Come and enjoy the beautiful – THE MUSICALIZATION
Inject the magic
Give me the potion
Through my ears
Skip my brain
Go straight to my heart
Then my shoulders
Arms
Fingers
Waist
Legs
Feet
Quick
Slow
To the side
Turn around
To the sky
Drop down low

Come and enjoy this great quote on happymesshappiness!
You don’t need another human being to make your life complete, but let’s be honest. Having your wounds kissed by someone who doesn’t see them as disasters in your soul but cracks to put their love into is the most calming thing in this world.
-Emery Allen
Come and read this interview about Christopher McGeown and his new book – THE MAN ON THE MOON
A couple of months ago, I got to interview my friend and published poet Chris McGeown. We spoke about his writing, his inspirations and motivations, and about his most current project: The Man on the Moon. His new book, The Man on the Moon, was published on May 16, 2018. His first poetry collection, Dead of Night, was published last year.

of retracing
scattered graces –
storms clouds gather me around
blackened feathers
silken wages –
haunt the soul
with not a sound
who would know
of those to listen –
where you are
tho once for me –
I knew you best
I loved you better
but for the man you couldn’t be
clearer eyes
persuade the heavens
counted tulips through the fire
given love
the grace for living –
sweet the touch
beyond desire
are you now
tho who can tell me
what of faith
when life is past –
was the love I knew becoming
ever real or just
my last

Come and enjoy Frank’s – I WANNA SPEND THIS LIFE WITH YOU
I can live this life alone
I’ll be just fine on my own
But you know what I wanna do
I wanna spend this life with you
Fight you, bite you, hold you tight all night and write about you
Scold you, hold you when it’s cold and grow old with you
Make you fly, never lie or say goodbye or make you cry
Entertain you, make it rain for you, drive you insane and do it all again
Love you like a dove
Make you smile for a while
Be a clown when you’re down
Never let you frown
You know I can live this life alone
It’ll be so dull on my own
So you know what I wanna do
I wanna spend this life with you
