“Confess me,” she said. And her plea rang from her bloodied lip and escaped into the ether. Her sobs shook her entire body. She was a fragile instrument reduced to its simplest functions. There wasn’t much that she could do at this point. It was too late to fight against herself any longer. She was [...]
Cut my wings loose, and it is a whisper, a gesture, a yearning. I am on my knees before you and my heart is oriented skyward, and the tears keep jumping from my eyes. A constant pilgrimage over these past hectic days and long, quiet nights. Dig your claws into my supple flesh, and carve [...]
An accidental osmosis and he told me to write real big if I ever get stuck in the mud. Told me I’m making it hard on him today, making it hard for him to believe me. And life’s too short to play that game. Life’s too short to buy into someone else’s trip. I smile [...]
PART I. I yearn to melt into your kiss with my whole being, to surrender wholly and completely to you, to re-capture that feel of oneness that is so delicious, and so needed in today’s world. These were the types of thoughts making their way through my mind as I showered away the stresses of [...]

Pain pulses on both sides, and it is the fifth hour, and my body-walls are closing in on me, leaving me suffocated, gasping, [...]
Listen to this my mind takes me into Your arms–the one place i know that i am safe from all harm, HELD APART from the chaos of the world, the only mark of time our heartbeats DANCING in sync. LOVING when You HOLD me… When You HOLD me stillness FALLS. … A VEILED PARADISE … [...]
