• State of Mind:

    Dear Danny,
    I sit alone behind these grey concrete walls, wondering if the Police really know it all?
    Craving just a little male affection when all I seem to get is your rejection?
    Write me letters, pick up the phone, need your sweetness, so sick of living here on my own.
    I loved you, baby, you loved me, said I loved ya, it…Read More

    I watched the thread,
    slip from my fingers,
    cold as steel.

    I couldn’t hold the end,
    or trace the start.

    Like a shadow in alleys,
    following the hunt,
    its shadow in my chest,
    too swift to name.

    I watched the thread
    through the silence.

    You can only sense
    when nothing stirs.

    I felt tremors pulse
    through skin, t…Read More

    • I was just thinking the other day of all the ways of saying and meanings for unravel. This is a potent expression of it 😊

    • Well, you have laid it all out and if anyone had any questions, they need to read this again. Nicely put.

    • Thanks 😊

    • Unapologetically penned, Lizz. This is a powerful and honest write my friend. We all have ups and downs in our journey as writers, taking accountability and living to tell the story is what keeps us putting pen to paper. That’s just my opinion though. Excellent work here. Appreciate you.

    • Very cool. It places you in front of a crowd, that you are not fearful of. I enjoy self-empowering writes. it isn’t egotistical, it’s affirmation of your worth. Well done.

    • It’s plain to see you’re a serious and articulate writer. You’re able to express yourself astutely and with no reserves. I envy your unapologetic courage. Great write here.

    • Thanks. I’ve been writing as a young teen, and as a teen I had no one to talk to, to express myself so I turned to poetry it was the only way for me to get things out. Though through time I’ve become better at my poetry. And I keep it as real as possible.
