A hermit at heart. When in the mood I love meeting new people. Don’t be shy to say “hello”. I am a mom of four and I am in a loving relationship. I want to become a better writer. I love to analyze and decode difficult or hidden, between the lines, reads. I love looking deep into human behavior, it is all very interesting to me. I love to learn from All people, especially odd or quirky fellows. :)

Love Plea Feel my voice call gently, like a Peaceful Dove. Sparks of life will enter Time to gather Love. My love, come lay upon my pale naked chest, We are freed from Eden’s green and idled rest. Let not the dark powers burn your passion dead, Black and... – *by Amanda East*	38 Views added 8 months ago	Rating
I am not laughing anymore. The child throws mittens against the wall. Mom, or no mom, she was cool and withholding. Daddy use to care until he got the stare. Purple mittens got lost in the snow. The repercussion would be too hard to bare. Knots of worry held the child... – *by Amanda East*	31 Views added 8 months ago	Rating
Bubble Gum Ice Cream When I was little my mom liked to drive her car with an opened can of cold sweaty beer in her center console. My three year old brother, Jay, would always be begging for a taste and I always wondered what they liked about it. That was the... – *by Amanda East*	22 Views added 8 months ago	Rating
Birthday Wish A flick of your wrist, Lurking with style. A pick you would twist Smirking a smile. It’s not what you said, Inflictions bear fear It is what you bled, Depictions are clear.

Obsessed F@!k you! F@!k you! And F@!k you! Those are words of anger, And I am angry! Angry that I must feel it. Sad that I must feel empty of light. Empty of compassion, And empty of purpose, But only for a moment, Only for a little... – *by Amanda East*	45 Views added 10 months ago	Rating

	Your words touched me. Thank you! ❤️ 2 months ago	View
	This is hard for me because I find happiness in the middle of being sad. While whaling out I'll snort a certain way and end up laughing at myself or I'll see an act of mercy so kind I’ll forget the despair. Life is ocean, a wave moving constantly, each change is an emotion, a feeling, an experience. This is happiness to me. Definitely not a place to chase because, yes that is elusive. more » 7 months ago	View
	I did not grow up with my birth father because he was afraid to be the kind of father his father was to him. My dad is an angry drunk when he drinks, and I only know this because he told me his stories. Only my oldest brother out of us four kids knows our dad’s anger personally. I love your poem. It is raw and beautifully written. I like a drink every now and again myself, but as you may have guessed from my poem, Cracked Blame, I played with a different poison. My mom tried everything under the sun. Shooting heroin was her favorite. In just the last year I thought I would try smoking everything she tried just to see why. Lol. I have not touched anything for about month and I know I will stay that way. I am happy to understand her a lot better. She passed in 2013 from a heart attack. She was clean five years prior. I have my whole family worried. And one can’t play with fire or will burn. more » 7 months ago	View
	Well my comment did not post. Lol. I think what I said was this: Every loss of love is worth Its journey. I appreciate you very much for your deeply felt remarks. You are a true gem. 7 months ago	View

	Thank you dear. I love your comments just as they are. I summited this a day or two after we met here. I did not explain myself in this one, did I? It is about my awakening to the monster within. I was naïvely happy before I realized there was not much to be happy about at that conjuncture in my life. Reality had a way of slapping me into perspective. I am very greatful to the Devil, I am. ;) more » 8 months ago	View

	Your images are so clear and beautifully put. I love reading your words, your stories. It feels as if I am there with you. My tears won’t stop flowing down my cheeks. Ugh… 8 months ago	View
	Yes, yes and yes! I have so many regrets as a young mother and oh how I wish I could rewind time and do it over again for my little seedlings. Your words are so beautifully put. Thank you. 8 months ago	View
	Over the years I have had to work hard to come to peace with my saftey, my salvation. I must reason through reality to find peace. I have come to appericate the seen moments in my everyday life. Part of my purpose is to show and share the beauty of our perfection as we are now, just by being authentically who we are, funny though, it is ever changing. more » 8 months ago	View
	“….Earth offered herself to the callings of my truest sense of being “I have been too unconscious for my own awareness….” “…my mind has been a misstep upon slippery slopes” Beautiful. Just beautiful. I feel your words deeply, and yet I can’t clearly see the message. It’s like being surrounded by a pleasant mist that allures one to keep seeking the answer. more » 8 months ago	View
