WORDS

My first duet with Shackled and Crowned.  If you haven’t seen her blog I urge you to visit.  I enjoyed writing this piece.  “It doesn’t matter if you and everyone else in the room are thinking it. You don’t say the words. Words are weapons. They blast big bloody holes in the world. And words…

REASON TO SHINE

Learning to live free goes hand in hand with learning to let go. I believe life is a balance and you need to know when to stay and fight and when to let something/someone go. I sat in my car and realized I was staring at this tree, part of it was green with leaves…

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…

SECRET SOLITUDE

Written by Think.Speak.Tryst and HastyWords   Coming and going Like the turquoise tides Beaches littered with hope for happiness I find myself wandering alone   The sun has been hiding For infinite days on end Clouds painting shadows on my mood Leaving me cold to the bone   Tired by the drawn out repetition Of…

DEADLY TONGUE

WRITTEN BY Alex Hicks and HastyWords     Words ignite like dangerous fireworks A spreading detonation of sparks A dramatic uncontrolled display Threatening mischief before leaping into the sky   Each letter bringing forth colors Like a painting on a canvas Swirls of reds, yellows, greens and blues Painted by a delicate hand   Beautiful…

VOICES

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…
