and I wanted to

June 28, 2019June 28, 2019 ~ Jo ~ 2 Comments

I dreamt of her two nights in a row. The first night, I saw her leaving a train and our eyes met - I forgot to look away - and her smile melted all the tightness in my chest into warmth. She hugged me and sparkled so brightly that I thought I’d go blind - … Continue reading and I wanted to

Almost As Good

August 17, 2018 ~ Jo ~ Leave a comment

He sang into that mic and hit a series of notes that gave her full body shivers. How lucky she was that music affects her this way, that she could immerse herself so deeply into a song. And how a song can evoke memories so clear and sharp she can almost smell the cologne he … Continue reading Almost As Good

She was a girl whose laugh played at the wind's heart strings that produced  a melody that shamed the birds, they couldn't duplicate it. A girl whose eyes glittered so brilliantly that the sun became jealous and the clouds had to run and obscure it, getting burned and evaporated for the sake of her eyes. … Continue reading She’s Everything

I’m awake.

November 7, 2012August 10, 2017 ~ Jo ~ Leave a comment

My body is waking up I knew because my mind was asleep, and my thoughts were groggy, but my limbs were awash with life and Movement. I look at the clock – it’s 3 am, why am I awake? Did something startle me? Was there a noise? Nothing stirs, nothing whispers. Even my curtains are … Continue reading I’m awake.

Musings on Dreams

July 6, 2012September 18, 2012 ~ Jo ~ 5 Comments

Do we dream every night and simply forget what our minds invented for nights at a time? Or are dreams little gifts that are given to us so that we may grasp them and cherish them? Sleep is a state of being in which all of our myriads of ideas and creativity are milling about … Continue reading Musings on Dreams
