    • This is all a great read but I absolutely love the last line!
      Great collaboration!

    • Amethyste is my birthstone, so I had to come and read something written by you. I am most definitely not disappointed!!

    With Eyelids Drawn

    With eyelids drawn, I look on, to a dawn that is now gone. So, I call on bygone dawnings, as I am an indrawn man. There is a spawning within the darkness of my shut lids. But I am sure my dawning will come, and the...
