I hope those of you in the valley will come to my free poetry reading this Monday,. Meanwhile, here is a Halloween poem for you all. As they age, old vampires start to soften. They seek out fewer victims. Even then, they steer. Toward the sick, the dying. Delaying in their coffins well past moonrise. And there, they pause to weep. Shrinks to a flimsy craving.

This is my world where I can be myself and lay out intricate diagrams, in the form of words. Thursday, July 25, 2013. Today I am thirty years of age. I never thought I would reach it. When I turned 29 I was ready to embrace it. And live life to the fullest. And not allow it to rob me of its valuability. I have found new hope.

The Bold Step I took to Start A New Life. Life is a roller coaster ride and change is inevitable. Although I have written many snippets of fictions and poetry, I did not have the courage to show people outside because I was too shy. Moreover, I was afraid of what people might say about what I have written. Life, a roller coaster ride, might be fun or nauseating.

We even cry the same way. Wednesday, July 13, 2011. I still ache for you every day. Without showing me your face in its light. Till they hear your beautiful laughter. Till a single drop from them trickles out and dies.
