Shaved

It was freeing, really.

Taking away what once controlled me.

It was hard to fathom previously,

Now, I feel the stares and revel in it deviously.

Thunder

The way the music pounds,

Vibrates within my body,

Caresses me as a lover would.

…I feel the rain coming.

Grim Reaper

…Came to collect.

Time was given.

Money was allotted.

Frivolity was limitless.

Now,

The moon was covered by the clouds.

The winds picked up from the east.

And rising from the ground, Death, suddenly appeared.

You were fascinated and terrified in equal measure.

But what more could you do?

This day had already been predicted to you.

Undeniably Yours

Hey everyone!

I made my novella, “Undeniably Yours,” available on Amazon for free this week only. I wrote it a while back. It’s only if you have Kindle Unlimited. I read so much, and I just adore Kindle Unlimited because I get to read whatever for only ten bucks a month. For readers it’s like a dream LOL. It’s also why I made mine available for it, because if I saw it was featured on KU I’d be thrilled.

Side note: KU said that I read a total of forty books in 2022. YAY! I’m going to shoot for one-hundred books read in 2023. What are your goals? Other than dropping like fifty pounds, reading, and traveling, I don’t have anything extravagant. (Or do I?)

That just took a turn.

Anyway, if you want to read it, please click here.

P.S. Poems will be back this week.

Benediction for a Mended Heart

I’ve had some ups and downs,

and I was afraid to fall.

But you answered the call.

So consumed with my innermost thoughts,

Struggling to connect the dots…

But thank you.

Because there’s a lot I’d be facing if you didn’t come through.

Two Books in One Month!

Hello everyone!

I’ve been so busy! But never fear I am still here. I pleased to announce that I will be putting out two books in the month of January. (God willing) If it has to go to February I’ll be okay with it, but for now I’m trying to be positive about everything. LOL. This will make seven books total. In three years I would have published three poetry books and four fiction books! I never thought I would be able to put out my own stuff but I’m so grateful that I can, and be self-published too through Amazon! I hope that I can entice you all to read my fiction book.

*I’ll post it here when it’s released.

My goal for 2023 is to continue writing. To continue expressing myself in the wonderful way of prose. My goal is to lose a little more weight, but not stress about it. My goal is to finally allow myself the chance to open up when it comes to love. I can admit that I’ve been a bit standoffish when even the idea is mentioned in my presence, but since I’m being honest I thought it best to start here. I love you all, and if I don’t post anymore this weekend, then I want to say Happy New Year!

Stay safe, and I love you all.

Strawberry Cheesecake

Rich and sweet,

That’s what eludes me.

Darkness and bitterness are what consumes me.

It shouldn’t be this way.

I should have a say in the divine.

Desire and duty always war within me.

…America

laughed at me.

Hissed, tried to lure me.

I’ve dived into her deep abyss before.

It’d be hours, weeks, days until I’d come ashore.

I’d try anything to not become this land’s whore.

Pause

For too long.

Need to continue my existence,

Else I lose this consistence.

Sable

I stand transfixed by your movements.

Paralyzed with the thought of discovery.
