FLASHING EMBERS

Bright white Flashes of light Gathered into Cascading sparks Flowing like heat Over sharp edges Where curves Once guided The life pumping Through my veins Worn crevices Where anger And pain Corroded And marked Once smooth Boundaries With acid stain Leaving me Filled with lava Unpredictable Flashing embers Instead of The soft glow Of morning…

BLURRED REALITY

We can’t see past the reflections Written and created by producers Selling lies from their silver screens Projecting fear and disharmony Turning lives into hollow screams They follow her and pick at her They antagonize her and berate her They feed her lines to use as hers Then they tell her she is brilliant And…

NO GOOD by J.C. Hannigan

If you haven’t heard of J.C. Hannigan you are in for a huge treat because she is someone I adore.  I met her along with several other wonderful people when I joined Stigma Fighters.  She was born with a chronic pain bone disorder called Multiple Hereditary Exostoses and I imagine writing was not only a…

When two people create beautiful things together… Magic happens… Until reality cuts in and says, “May I have this dance?” BEAUTY IN THE BEAST WE ALL SHINE ON…

CAST OUT – SINGULARITY COVER REVEAL

I’m the type of person who will purposely walk down a dark hallway at night. Turning off into dark alleyways to watch the shadows dance on brick walls and craving the way an unexpected sound makes my heart race with the speed of adrenaline. I am sort of obsessed with stories filled with supernatural ghosts, demons,…

EAVESDROPPING

Mumbled whispers Barely penetrated Wallpapered walls As a strangers ear Struggled to hear The secrets there To interpret the rise To interpret the fall Of the sound waves Predicting patterns of Broken lettered words Begging to be heard Fragments bleeding Splinters of meaning For this stranger Who was in love With the woman On the…
