Dare To Defy

shapes and shadows strike awe and wonder lines connect pulling images together signifying tenderness you’ve longed to hold her reflection resembles the moon smiling back she pulls you, her rising tides keep you intrigued when she starts to recede you continue, there’s no other way there’s no other choice, hold on tight while she gently…

The Immemorial Breeze

After Robbie Krieger A rhythm begins within, grows its pacesteadying adjacent to my lungsgently caressing and heightening in time. As I reach for an opened dooramong this unsteady foundation, I become one with an ultimate fascination. A gentle breeze sways its waylifting me across the fields.

Walk With Me

She wants to be who she is. She wants to feel loved for who she is, And who she wants to become. She doesn’t want to feel guilty to feel needed. She wants to feel beautiful. She wants to feel strong. She wants to feel like she belongs. But if belonging means to solely coexist,…
