Love Remembrance

I sit quietly in my winter garden
Holding your Love in my finger tips

I breathe in the cool, crisp air and I feel content
For I know that you will always adore me despite our differences

The frozen silence swirling around me brings peace to my heart
And lulls me deeper into complacency

I drift into a drowsy half-sleep and
Fragmented images of you begin passing through my mind
A timeless trance
A brush of shadows moving across my face

Patterns of your discontent dance in the wind-teased winter leaves around my feet
And a vague unease begins to scratch at the velvet overlay of delusion I shroud myself in

As I sleep
Your soul became a growing tsunami fighting against my neglect for your needs
Anger so all-encompassing it has no focus

Over endless white snow through endless white fog
Your ghost runs beside me along with memories of the times I came to my garden to forget
The times we spent in endless strife

We stare at each other through our spirit-eyes
The dead silence between us running deep

We move in our own separate solitudes, turning in on ourselves in a grim struggle to maintain our sanity
Becoming so far removed from each other
I cannot understand what you desperately need from me

Disturbed deeply by these visions
I stumble
Lost in this chaotic whirl

My illusion that you could never leave me turns cold
And forever winter nights run across my soul

Grief, rage and accusations flow out of me, until my tears calm into quiet acceptance

At last I awake and chide my empty fingers
For your love is truly gone from my hands
And now love remembrance is all I have left.

--M.D Burke

Grays & Tears

Do you remember me?
I am the light and illusion flickering around you
Fading into an indistinct existence
This was once my place

Do you still feel my love?
A mélange of passions shaded in grays and tears
Diminishing into an undefined splatter of reality
I reach out across the astral plane

Take a leap of faith!
I am here for you again
My soul manifests
As a pronounced fascination of sentiments
Dimension and time converging around us

I'm right here
You just have to believe

Wreathed in an elegant nimbus of remembrance
My soul arches in a graceful ascent above the moon cast sky
How is it you cannot see me?

Compelled by love
My spirit rests here beside you
Imprinted in elaborations of unseen eons
I await your awakening, my Love...

--M.D. Burke

Hanging Bridge

Can't sleep. Too many questions.

Most of the times, I need time to be alone. But not like this. Not this time.

Been trying to cope up with an uninviting surprise. Still having the mindset to deal with the changes of what's going to happen. Going out of my comfort zone is out of my vocabulary.

Why do I let situation like this affect me? Why do I have to feed myself with thoughts that it might not push through? Why do I still have this hope inside of me that things will be ok?

All I need is the TRUTH. I deserve to know it. But, it seems like I'm not suppose to get an explanation. I've been waiting for weeks now. Still trying to act casual yet deep down I feel uneasy.

Wanna scream out loud til I lose my voice... Wanna cry til tears shed no more... Maybe then, I'll find the answers...

Who loves David Cook? --- I do!!!

Den, this is for you... Enjoy!

Here's some breaking news courtesy of E!Online for all of you Prison Break fans:

Sarah Wayne Callies (Dr. Tancredi) will be returning as a regular for the 4th season of Prison Break and it sounds like she will finally be finding love with none other than Michael Scofield - the man that caused her to cross ethical boundaries at her work, break the law and even turn back to drugs - but is oh so hot.You may be asking the obvious question, i.e., "How? How will Sara return when she doesn't have a freaking head?!" Well, Olmstead makes it clear that isn't Sara's head after all, and she's been alive, although not necessarily well, this whole time.

For you who don't know, Sarah Wayne Callies couldn't return to shoot Sara's death scene last season, so producers used a Polaroid photo of her from a wardrobe test. How did the Company turn that into a fake noggin? Watch the show!

Undeniable emotions

The truth is painful. Deep down, nobody wants to hear it, especially when it hits close to home. Sometimes we tell the truth because the truth is all we have to give. Sometimes we tell the truth because we need to say it out loud to hear it for ourselves. And sometimes we tell the truth because we just can't help ourselves. Sometimes, we tell them because we owe them at least that much.

... change, we don't like it, we fear it ...

... I guess we're adults ... the question is, when did that happen, and how do we make it stop ...

... denial ... it's not just a river in Egypt ... it's a freakin' ocean ..

Deep down, everyone wants to believe they can be hardcore. But being hardcore isn’t just about being tough. It’s about acceptance. Sometimes you have to give yourself permission to not be hardcore for once. You don’t have to be tough every minute of every day. It’s okay to let down your guard. In fact there are moments when it’s the best thing you can possibly do… as long as you choose your moments wisely.
