Who Are You

Visions of what you once were. So many months and now a sickly shadow. You take responsibility for letting yourself go. My hands were in the pot too, I say I didn’t know. You can’t hear what I say, When you get this way.… Continue Reading “Who Are You”

Check In

I haven’t really written in a while or had any motivation to do so. I hope that’s how creativity is. It comes and goes like a mood or the tides in and out. Usually it’s just because I am unsettled in my life and… Continue Reading “Check In”

Vanishing City

Running away, Or running free? I never know which it will be. Vanishing city or a trick of the eye? Chasing the fog. Chasing a lie. We are all scared. The sway has been lost. There’s no return trip but we are still charged… Continue Reading “Vanishing City”

Sea Is Calling Me

It’s semi-cold in Hatteras today. Like-60°. 😂 But, I never get bored walking the beaches. No sunshine is the best time for me because of my skin conditions.  No 🌞 = No 🔥 So, on thanksgiving week, I am grateful for the peacefulness of… Continue Reading “Sea Is Calling Me”
