When there’s no enthusiasm for the bed and sheets, pillows, love like a restless bird has flown right out the window. Too late to close the window; what’s meant to be has been but not too sure returns a one unto the forgotten. And then the forgotten returns slowly ever sure into the realms of [...]

When the “Universe” thinks it’s time to reveal what really cannot be seen it catches a woman humbled by love and imprisons her in the know. For a time that knowing a suffering simply too hard to bear and she crumbles like stone into dust in the confines of physical form. That dust within not [...]

There’s a place in the middle of humankind that’s like a vortex of sorts and it holds the past with an iron fist not destined to ever erode. It’s clever and sly in it’s will to abide by the manufacturer’s guarantee but the fist doesn’t know the unbound power of one a force to be [...]

It talks to me, sings to me, though it never utters a word, It lifts me up, up, up, though it doesn’t have any arms and makes the unseen spin inside always and ever to music I never ever can hear. Without any hands it touches my, oh, so tender spot and silently wipes away [...]

But threads of past intensity unrelenting stay attached like spirit hands in devil lands won’t leave well enough alone. In this unholy matrimony a mind entwined can’t disengage from the snap and crackle, [...]

A sadness o’er lays the glory of days and nights become darker than dark in the knowing that love’s energy remains confined and restricted to only the perimeter of skin, fat, muscle, bone. It cannot creep in to the mind of men or into the heart of women unless its presence is made known in [...]

I do not have to shop for magic wands and fairy spells because the store is closed to believers just like me and yet I stop to think that maybe this or that could magically transform my dreams into real. Dream catchers are for fools content to only dream, bones and stones can’t break the [...]

The gypsy’s fire has burnt to ash and she has now retired from passion’s inspiration to dance so mindfully to the tune of all she feels. The rain has started falling; pitter-patter, pit-pat-pat, and there’s a momentary pause before the rain is allowed to mingle with her tears and make them be as not. The [...]

When breathing in the breath of pain it’s like the mind turns upside down to catch the bit that’s left behind the rise of hot air agony. Upside down means not alright to view the future glow of light that hovers close, so very close, to absorb that agony and dissipate the impact on those [...]
