Reflections in Reverse: Love's Inverse Journey
In the labyrinth of life, I sought my way, Through shadows deep, where darkness held sway. Inverted paths, with no clear end in sight, Yet onward I pressed, towards the elusive light.

My Husband Is A Poet
As I sat down to write tonight, I was telling my husband that I needed to write and didn't much feel like it. I was surprised as I have 9 days left of this month. If I am already running out of steam, what will happen to my writing for the next week?

Whispers of the Unknown
In the heart of darkness, secrets lie, Beyond the stars, where dreams defy. Whispers of ancient tales unfold, In shadows deep, where legends hold.

Dear, Mom
“I know we don’t talk much or communicate, so I figured I would write you this letter. I doubt you’ll ever read this but if you ever do, I want you to know that I love you. I know I don’t say it as often as I would like to, but that’s because I got use to the norm of us not communicating on that level, but never forget that it’s there because I won’t.. I must admit, I am a little choked up while writing this & as a man of a thousand words, I find it nerve wrecking to express myself to you.. But as I write this, all the memories flood my mind & play in my mind & I can’t help but to feel … loved.. I have so much that I always wanted to tell you.. but this letter just won’t suffice, which is why I wrote you this book.. I pray it makes its way to you as I am also sharing it with the world.. I Love You Mom…”

You Are Not a Sin
You are not a sin. Now, that line rumbles through my spine, decaying old scripts that were woven into my being. I have held hands with the devil and fell in love with God's angels.

Shadows and Ash
Ashfallen, skies painted gray with charcoal flakes, the smell of coal washed over me. I could smell the furnace as blood smeared itself on gray rinsed grass, and as I marched on, more appeared. Could I have danced with a shadow? How would the light of my life have felt at my betrayal?

Too many thoughts clouding my mind. Unending chatter, unbearable clatter-- a cacophony of chaos, and you ask what's the matter.

Trick of Light
Breaking From a tiny crack A darkly curse Can destroy Can trick Their aplomb Their spirit Knowing that A diamond tiara Can turn into A small brass crown
