Prominence
I watch the smile on your face
rise like the sun with a trace
of fire rumbling in your eyes
which let me easily surmise
all of your grace.
I watch the smile on your face
rise like the sun with a trace
of fire rumbling in your eyes
which let me easily surmise
all of your grace.
In the dark of night,
I feel you warm by my side
like a summer dream.
Awake.
I reach for you
in the dead of the night
and I’m startled to discover
You’re gone;
the sound of footsteps on the stairs
the bedroom door knob turns
to my relief –
You’re there.
Whispers of your name –
my legs turn into jelly
and my knees give out.
I don’t feel so bad
when I watch you with the ones
you chose over me.
Progress
is not sprinting –
it is a marathon
and the fastest one out of the gate
can lose.
Being a fifth wheel
hurts even worse when I see
who they chose instead.
Imagine time
with heavy hands
that crush and mar.
Imagine time
with healing hands
smoothing out our scars.
So…the news of Tumblr being sold, to Yahoo of all places, makes me quite uncomfortable about the future of that site and its community.
I’m not going anywhere but pointed out to those on Tumblr alternative ways to find me and my writing and I wanted to share that with all of you on WordPress.
I have a Twitter:

I have a Facebook fanpage:

I have a Tumblr:
http://www.deuscain.tumblr.com
Those are the big 3. I also have a mostly abandoned Pheed where I posted recitations of my work:

I want to thank the people I’ve met through Tumblr now for being awesome and making my life better over the past 3 years. They’re a great community – it’d be a shame to lose that just because of this sale.
P.S. Feel free to drop me a line anytime, Ask a question, leave a comment, or just say, “Hi.” My door’s always open.
If I had to say,
you’re a rotten excuse for
a human being.
