Core Revelation
A lifetime spent

And catching her skin
On the black and jagged edges
Of her imagination.
Don’t forget to take a ride on Rhian’s Monday Poetry Train.

Monday Poetry Train-Uncomfortably Numb
I’ll have to pull out a spooky poem next week. This one called to me this week.

Sometimes, it’s a lone female soprano
Strong, yet slightly hollow
A sound not unlike the wood [...]

He Tires
Hold on
To me,
My Love.
I will keep us
Afloat.
For my dreams
