SHE SWALLOWS STARS

She swallows stars Creating darkness Where daydreams Used to be Painting pictures On concrete walls Swirling creations A stark diary of her Black hole nights Void of vibrancy Am I still beautiful? She whispers To the ants marching Along the crevices Among the cracks Carrying her life One speck at a time Until she is…

FALLING TOGETHER

Rain pounded down outside Vibrating off window panes Resetting the cadence of time Our hearts were stepping to Fingers sat tangled in my hair As whispering breath lingered Around curves we’d laid bare Distant thunder beat its chest As our souls exchanged light Two lives connected and directed Like moths fighting to feel fire Some things don’t require…

I don’t want to be trapped On the pages I’ve written A place where old scribbles Stare back in taunting rhyme Or be buried and entombed With the regrets collected Stained mosaic memories Reminding me of places I had once been confined I don’t want to be consumed By the heartbreak or deceit Spawned by…

BEING BULLIED AND LETTING GO

Today is the last day of March and I going to start wrapping up the bully series in the next few days.  I truly hope something good has come from so many voices coming together in the spirit of kindness and love. My guest today has a powerful post for you and I would like…

WHAT MAKES A BULLY?

WHAT MAKES A BULLY? by Piper George 1000 Voices Speak are focusing on this subject this month and I wanted to be one voice among the many, to shout out and add to the cacophony, because where many speak, maybe some one will hear. But – what makes a bully? I don’t recall being a…
