| Well everyone, I'm sorry for the bit of a delay I've had here recently. I haven't had much time or motivation to work on this site in a while. However, I've noticed that a few people have linked to my site (Thanks Cruzer and Kathy), and I'm starting to get more traffic than usual. Also, I believe I have reached a point in writing that has shown a maturity in style. Im sure from the exposition of poetry I had here earlier you could've perhaps seen a little bit of a change. I cant even say for sure why this change happened. Possibly scars left by Nashae, or perhaps I decided that I was tired of being banal. My position as a Moderator at Arcanum Cafe, which I love with all my heart, has shown me that I don't need to write about being depressed all the time. The down times are represented well enough by many other poets. Perhaps I can breathe a little life into an otherwise dreary portfolio of works. Im sure many of you know about my struggles with Nashae. After 3 1/2 years, we have broken up, and I have been heart-broken for some time now. However, I'm moving on, and I'm regaining that stability that I lost to the uncertainty of my situation. I can attribute this to my great friend, Ashley. She has stood beside me throughout everything, and held my hand the entire way. I can't do enough to repay her. However, this has left me at a cross-road. Moving on hurts just as much as staying still. I still love Nashae, and I always will. But there are other things in life now that I must attend to. i shall stop before this becomes a banal online diary entry. You didn't come here for that. Please, enter further into the site. My works are here on exhibition. Just don't bitch at me about the spelling. I know its bad. Have a good one, folks. This one is on me. Jeremy Barker |
