Be your own solace

I still smell your absence on my skin. It smells of insomnia and rusted key locks...

I watched you storm towards the restaurant door. It was a chilly December morning and the birds sitting on the high wires in the neighborhood refused to fly any longer.

There was warmth in his large piercing brown eyes. The kind of warmth that tucks a child into bed. The same kind of warmth that dries your wet hair on a rainy December afternoon.

I want to be the thought that takes your mind off the road and your hand off the steering wheel.

There are people that damage you for life. The day they walked into your life will forever be a turning point you will use to label and count your years with... Your own BC and AD.

You have the face of a man who gently caresses field flowers and dandelions. And a smile that is like a dagger, cutting the sun in halves.

You don't need an ocean to feel like you're drowning. You feel it, between your chest and your throat, the weight of it stretching you outside your self, like a dead fish on the shore.

No one made sense of the love they shared. They didn't get the hang of it either. But together, the clocks of winter stopped.. And autumn's fallen leaves turned, swiftly, scarlet.

Build my night with your cheeks.

The sea is in your eyes. Your face is an eternal summer. Whoever told you otherwise is a fool!

An ugly face needs make-up

Grace is God-divine favour.

The man died inside cannot live outside. ‪

The future will be a better tomorrow.

The White House is giving George W. Bush intelligence briefings. You know? some of these jokes just write themselves.

I met my husband before I became a star, and he doesn't care about any of it.

Truth grew in my mind like a fungus, and though I tried to sleep it out, there was no resisting the epiphanies.

Show me the path I must walk and do not let me stumble in the dark places that lie ahead.

I'll pour a cup to you my darling, raise it up, say Cheerio.

I do believe that by virtue of having a volunteer army, you are going to have men and women who decide to serve and others who decide to pursue different careers.
