INSIDE THE KALEIDOSCOPE

I needed to write….and Pharphelonus was there at just the right moment.  Thank you friend! Written by Pharphelonus and HastyWords I tried falling asleep alone again On a bed of stinging nettles They pricked me all night again The pain causing my mind to settle   The place was dark and lonely And my body…

RARE ROMANCE

Thank you Shruti for being such a beautiful friend in my life.  Good friends are hard to come by.  Sometimes friendship takes more strength than some people can muster.  I tend to wonder what kind of friend I am when so many can just….walk away and never look back?

Sage and I wrote this duet.  It took me years to get him to write this with me.  Ok years is an exaggeration but he is a busy guy!  We wrote this duet in the typical alternating stanza style. We wrote it as two separate voices and when we were finished Sage intertwined the stanzas…

THE STRANGER WITHIN

CHAOTIC ROMANCE

Another one with my beautiful friend Jen!  It is always amazing to me how two people with totally different backgrounds, leading very different lives can connect so beautifully through words.   Written by Think.Speak.Tryst. and HastyWords From the corner of my eye I watched the fire ignite Red & purple flames shot up to the…
