Six Strings & Broken Dreams
A poem
Sitting here underneath the summer sun
Sipping on strawberry lemonade
Wishing it was spiked with something more
Strumming my six string
Singing into the wind
***
Wishing you were here
But I don’t want to fight no more
Thinking back to yesteryear
When we danced on the promenade
Laughing under the midnight moon
***
Stuck my feet in the water
Frigid cold, ice running down my spine
Like your steely voice
On a cold winter’s day
Just another imitation lie
***
Wishing you were here
But I don’t want to fight no more
Thinking back to yesteryear
When we danced on the promenade
Kissing under the midnight moon
***
Silky sheets; smooth talker
Razor sharp, silver tongue
Broken vows; pierced heart
Another night: fallin’ apart
***
Push the curtain aside
Stare out the window, waiting
For endings and beginnings
Six strings and broken dreams
Close my eyes and watch you fade
***
Another midnight moon
Another year around the sun
Wishing you were here
But I don’t want to fight no more
I don’t want to fight no more
***
Hi Everyone!
I haven’t had much time to write, but I’ve missed it fiercely! Here’s my latest. It’s a bit harsh and more about struggles in life than those in my life.
I hope to get back to writing as life settles down again! KA Stefana

After the Storm
After the storm of winter snow there sat a small bear by the name Ted, of course. He loves the snow and likes to roll around in it making all sorts of trails and whatever he has a mind to do. He wondered where all the people are, but in a way, he is hoping that they are all snug in the homes maybe drinking hot chocolate-one of his favorite drinks with mini-marshmallows and eating something homemade for he likes this winter wonderland all to himself to romp and play and maybe even catch some fish down by the river.

incredibly well written <3
You really bring the reader on a journey - starting in a vivid, sensory present, into a deeper story of loss and struggle. Enchanting and deeply feeling work, KA!
A lot of cutting lines there, I hope you are ok. Excellent work
