Healing Happens

by Andrea Lena DiMaggio

You might as well have been pushed off
Niagara Falls in a paper sack
You might as well have been locked out
pushed down or held back
You might as well have been subjected to
something that you could not hack

Replacing the Irreplaceable

'Tis the last rose of summer left blooming alone
All her lovely companions are faded and gone
No flower of her kindred, no rosebud is nigh
To reflect back her blushes and give sigh for sigh

Sweet Dreams I’ll Never Have Them…8

Chapter 8

I’m actually shaking by the time I get out of the Starbucks and through the other set of doors and into The Renaissance Center, it’s kind of this high end mall kind of place that’s been around forever. I even knew about this place living in my neighborhood. It kind of went through this slump when most of downtown did too but has come back into it’s own with that whole push to revitalize old Detroit.

I Kissed a Boy
(and She Kissed a Girl)and I liked it!

by Andrea Lena DiMaggio
 
It' s the way you love me
It's a feeling like this
It's centrifugal motion
It's perpetual bliss
It's that pivotal moment
It's, ah, impossible
This kiss, this kiss

Chapter 23

It takes us awhile before we’re ready to go. Taylor and I went back to staying in the dark and I just very slowly and very tenderly kissed him while we waited for his migraine to fade away.

My heart is so full right now because he’s willing to do everything they need him to do despite everything he feels about the treatments and the tests and this place.

Barbie was the kind of doll that every boy would want to play with. I certainly did, that first time I saw her on display in the station newsagents. But boys should remember that playing with dolls may lead them in unusual directions!
