it’s been awhile it’s me, hello i’ve forgotten the  way in which words piece together fluidly and completely

but here we are standing like old friends greeting each other at the station picking up where we left off embracing as if neither had gone away

i haven’t been writing and i haven’t been anywhere new but this feeling that i’ve found hugs me like a sweater has created warmth where there was none before im better im back and i’m new but for how long not even i can say

the canvas is the same one i use for writing the same one with scribbles depicting a night in the lounge and an impromptu sketch i etch in deep with a pen i don’t trust will have enough ink

breaking the usual path ripping it until bleeding tripping the trapped soul the one crippled from coma bringing it to new need ending the symmetry of all it used to be

RE: the women’s march

Hello! I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted any poetry, but it will hopefully be coming back soon! I’ve been doing a lot of other types of writing recently that has got me a bit distracted. 

So, with that said, I’m opening this up to tumblr. If you’d like to read about my participation in the Women’s March in my city, please go to my website!  I’d appreciate any thoughts in the comment section below the post :) We’re in this together, and I’d love to hear your voice.

Here’s my blog post, there are a series of photos I took as well: https://www.jennaloganphotography.com/protest

you made me  thin, when what I wanted was to be it you transformed me drained  my pigment made  me invisible

you could sing words into my mouth while i draw on your knee playing with the soft hairs you could let me touch the strings creating laughter and no nonsense as you gaze  daring me to play keep looking at me like that ill play for you if you play with me

2016 Planner Printables

Hi! The New Year is approaching rapidly, so I’ve been thinking a lot about planning, and what method I’m going to try next month… The beggining of a new year after all!! (for us planning freaks, this is a really big deal)

I’ve gathered a bunch of material that I found all around, from different websites and blogs of talented people, that definitely inspired me to make my own planner.

Nothing in here is mine. I’ve linked directly to the file in question so this is a whole lot faster for both you and me, so I’m writing the author next to it. If you, reading this, are the author of one of the files, and want me to take it down or feel uncomfortable with this, then please inform me, I will do so!

 And don’t forget these printables are for personal use only.

‘e v e 

we came from home buying a block of icy sweetness numb hands could hardly carry it cold as the air our breath glided over the bridge there was a peculiarity in how it vanished transcending; moving through time to finding itself in nothing--thin air a grandmother in the next window made our hearts pulsate we hesitated before walking on our path strengthened with the glow of the ‘eve the woods behind us made us fearful, yet fearless we looked back not once ahead, the town invited us to scour every closed shop in town until we tread on the last open door, to fill our tortured bellies with the steam of the broth and it was agreed by both that this day was the beginning of a series of splendors to be unfolded this coming year              -JL

little whispers at 5 am the sighing of the walls a pitiful ache in my stomach are each taking a hit at the parts of my mind i normally hide

you brought me to this unfeeling taught me the worth of any valid thought the good, the bad, to be nothing that matters not as much as  forgetting

your whole being screams it

i couldn’t see tears though i searched listened for the slightest sniffle what felt like hours passed heard the crack of a phone line, in between the silence of us, his last words said at my goodbye only a whisper another crack followed by the sound  not unlike that of a whimpering animal and disconnection
