You See Now…

You see now. I didn’t know it would be like this. Who in their right mind would have ever taken it on had they known? I didn’t know the thing would follow me here. I thought I was safe from its nose, always sniffing the wind and watching for movement, any movement. I hid in [...]

Be True

Don’t compromise yourself. You are all you’ve got.–Janis Joplin   Don’t listen to those who say, “It’s not done that way.” Maybe it’s not, but maybe you will. Don’t listen to those who say, “You’re taking too big a chance.” Michelangelo would have painted the Sistine floor, and it would surely be rubbed out by [...]

The Truth of Us

The Truth of Us   The look in his eyes. The awakening to new conciousness, to that knowing of another like never before, to being known, to real love. To knowing this was meant to be. The look in my eyes. The deep recognition of what has always been; this time to not turn away, [...]

The Ruse

What greater audience than a woman’s captive heart? And if he loves anything, it is an audience.   I think it is the ruse I find most offensive; endless variations of the same old play. However unique each woman, however special the connection, the words still eerily duplicated and the ends nearly identical beneath various [...]
