Living Like A Two Year Old
What if we all choose to live like a two-year-old? He runs full force at huge puddle. He doesn’t worry about what will come after. He isn’t concerned about wet socks and cold feet. He is anticipating joy, laughter, and experience. The thrill of the splash. The squeal of his laughter. The future is coming […]

Him
In response to The Daily Three Things challenge. Silence, Quieten, Sedate. Reality collapses in. Thoughts that are not my own start tumbling across the surface of my mind like debris lashing around in a tornado. I reach for him. He is the silence amongst the storm, he is the calm when the noise becomes unbearable. […]

Wanderer
“You dreamed that you left your body” Writing Prompt from http://www.writerswrite.co.za 5 June 2022 She walks with the stars at night, uncoiled from root and bone. The call of the moon just right, unbound and free, she is home. She leaves through walls to the sky, loose from her earthly desires. Freeing passion, rising high, […]

Chaos Continues
In the chaos that cycled around her, just for a moment she surrendered. Shoulders slumped, eyelids heavy, reality suspended. The world trickled off her like a rain shower in the spring. Instinct dragged her towards him, all her resistance dissolved. His hand, a slow pressure on her lower back. The warmth of him. Rough fingertips […]

She wore a yellow coat
It wasn’t just her coat that irritated me, it was also her luxurious heels. I sneered at her dark denim jeans, those stiletto shoes were unreal. Her hair was extremely frustrating somehow still neat in the breeze. Her seamless makeup was maddening, she looked like an unblemished Queen. I trail in the shadows behind her, […]

A nightmare clings in the furious silence. Shadows reach as her imagination bends. There is a racing stillness in the twilight hours. Wickedness creeps with a lonely caress. Anything is possible. Everything is dangerous. Now there is a warmth beside her. He slings his arm across her, heavy and hard. She is soothed, content. She […]

Night Terror
The silence slips and the silence bleeds, The silence flips and the silence screams, The silence trips and the silence heaves, Then I weep and the silence leaves. The shadows leap and the shadows turn, The shadows leak and the shadows churn, The shadows sneak and the shadows yearn, Then I peek and the shadows […]
