A woman as gifted as you should never feel the need to run away. A fresh start can be a good thing, but you are amazing enough to re-write your own history. Anyone - man or woman - who doesn't see that, is a fool.
D. Winters is correct, you need not run away.... because I am certain that if you wait long enough, someone so real will take you by the hand and fill all the empty pages of the rest of your story with hope and love...just wait.
I lost my husband to suicide in June of 2006. This is my journey through the deep valley of grief with all its anger, denial, guilt, and pain.
It is also my struggle to embrace the future and allow myself to live and love happily, again.
As if that is not enough, this is where I indulge my need to create, with words, the ideas that irritate me like a splinter, until I get them out.

Usually I don't like contemporary poetry...but your work is so raw and clean...it cuts me in ways traditional prose never will - profoundly.
