		<description><![CDATA[Time
 
When all is said and all is done
and when the race is over,
Will we be happy that we’ve run?
Will we wish to do it over?
 
Time marches on without a care
about what we are doing.
It bothers not with when or where
or what trouble is ensuing.
 
We may be bored; we may be stressed.
We may be steeped in [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=alonetogetheronline.wordpress.com&blog=2275473&post=40&subd=alonetogetheronline&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Raindrop Baby
 
I&#8217;m a raindrop baby
silhouetted in the night,
single-ringed single person
minus the 24 carat gold.
A harvester of night life,
star crystal,
a gather of sluts in my imagination,
a wild driver of the
anal sinful products of sex.
I run the highways drunk
as a skunk with his anus high in the air
in search of what I wished
or dream wild factual [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=alonetogetheronline.wordpress.com&blog=2275473&post=38&subd=alonetogetheronline&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Two thousand men on death row 
in the state of Texas.  I&#8217;ve never 
been here, still I&#8217;m worrying 
myself  to death. 
  
Webs of worry travel fast, 
scan over my memory bank 
back and forth like a copy machine. 
  
I refuse to get out of my bed 
I&#8217;m covered with burnt dream [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=alonetogetheronline.wordpress.com&blog=2275473&post=31&subd=alonetogetheronline&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

If an author is not passionate about his or her book or story, people will not be passionate about reading it.  All my favorite books were written by authors with a purpose and a passion for a cause. Khaled Hosseini’s passion for the plight of Afghanistan and compassion for Afghani women  fill his book, A Thousand Splendid Suns, and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=alonetogetheronline.wordpress.com&blog=2275473&post=28&subd=alonetogetheronline&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

When overwhelmed with projects needing attention, and discouraged from not seeing the results one wants, it&#8217;s easy to feel discouraged. Maybe more than discouraged—depressed and immobilized. When that happens, STOP. Take a look at where you are versus where you want to be. What do you need to do to get there?

Living In a Fish Bowl
 
Looking out the window
Nature has its own disguise
 
Trapped behind four walls of glass
No one knows who I am?
Or my past!
Faceless is the lonely souls
Behind the reflection of glass
 
Time has just evolved
Shadows, reflections
Looking through the window
Where no doors pass
 
Like a flower blossoms in a vase
Stands still in a crowd
No one notices!
 
The world [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=alonetogetheronline.wordpress.com&blog=2275473&post=21&subd=alonetogetheronline&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

RESCUE ME
 
From myself!
Living in a 9 by 10 room
Blinds shut by an umbilical cord
 
Papers on the windows
Castrated by life
Cut off from my parents
Discipline was their sword
 
It is hard to believe
My life was trapped
Behind the thickness of a door
 
No one would knock
No one would talk
I was completely ignored
 
Days turned into years
Birthdays &#38; holidays
