A Touch of Witchcraft
Breathless. Phantom pulse. Her heart embracing illusions, a craving powering her thoughts. How could it be? A spell cast upon her, the caster knowing not what they’d done Witchcraft, to it she must resort, a potion for love, for her … Continue reading

The Vampire Blues
No tanning on the beach or I’m ashes on the news. Undead, gotta get a life, I’ve got the vampire blues. No skipping down the street on a sunny afternoon. No pulling up stakes after they’ve run me through. Missing … Continue reading

Pluvial Night
Runaway, pluvial night. Cold in her bones. Unwanted. Undone. Uncertain life was worth another breath. Hurting to her soul. PTSD in the making. Each step, each raindrop, another reason to kneel in surrender. Awakening inner voice. Unforeseen inner strength. Walking … Continue reading

Transcending
She tried to hide, tried to be that peg for every hole, denying her heart, her soul, her truth. Templates were lies, erasing expression, erasing her life, when all she wanted was to be the true self within. True freedom … Continue reading

Anger Undone
It burst forth, molten hot. Anger! Every hurt. Every cruelty inflicted. Each time she was abandoned. In its wake, a question. Whispering waves. What was she doing? Reliving the past was letting them hurt her forever. The tears dried. She … Continue reading

In This Moment
In this moment, no past, no future, no needs to meet, nor tasks to complete. There’s now, this space, this place, existing between the headwind and the breeze at your back. The air moving in and out, your lungs expanding, … Continue reading

Impossible love
Whispered gasp burning where touch not her own sparked. She was too old to be new, impossible by every measure. She —awaking, disbelieving— was unaware love existed. Well, not real love, not this love, not the kind that keeps you … Continue reading
