To share a story
The time that I find myself a- slipping into the desperate clutch of madness; that is the time I know I need to write, to let out all emotion’s waves, channel them; Chasing them all into the day, for all to read the profanity of insanity’s whispering; the other voice inside my mind, itContinueContinue reading “To share a story”
Rose Garden

Surrender
When she sang to me, her voice rode the air The sounds making love to the universe While her golden hands threaded through my hair And teasing and tempting she held me tight When she smiled at me, my soul reached the sky Leaping and soaring on the wind’s currents To my fears andContinueContinue reading “Surrender”
