    • Roack-a-bye, Baby

      I know no other way
      the weight of his absence presses
      aching…waiting…
      begging for his return
      as nights close in
      shadow draping me in yearning
      the remembrance nearly blistering
      moments of fierce and desperate
      thundering of twin beats
      throb piercing me
      and I cannot…will not…forget
      saturation a constant
      as…Read More

    • A Monday of Opposites and Gravitational Longing

      13th arrives
      with the blunt honesty of a Monday
      that refuses to disguise itself.

      It is a day built on opposites,
      light leaning against shadow,
      certainty dissolving into doubt,
      the heart pulling forward
      while the mind drags its feet.

      Everything contradicts everything.
      Everything…Read More

    • She turns 30

      Wake up to a face
      Your face
      The current face
      Not the face you remember

      Memory can distort reality
      Reality is a bucket of ice water
      Even the eyes change
      Once showed hope is now resigned

      Truth is
      It is not the face that is disheartening
      It is the day
      That states you are no longer spring flower but an autumn…Read More

      • hello beautiful Fia I’m glad I no longer get gazes I wrote a poem about that I’m waiting to post it…it’s titled invisible…I don’t feel old even though I’m fifty six and the world wants to tell me I’m old…no she is not old just no longer a teen… great write ❤️

      • This is a great write.
        The reality is we all age. It’s not so bad.
        But realizing that comes with wisdom and learning to embrace the life you’ve lived and where you are mentally.
        I’m happy at 51. You couldn’t pay me to be in my thirties.
        Hell no. Hahaha

      • Powerfully penned, Fia. Excellent write that we can all relate to my friend. I’m happy where I am, don’t wanna go back in time. lol. Nicely done. Appreciate you, Cuz.

      • You have touched upon a very important topic with your beautiful and meaningful poem, dear Fià. Unfortunately, our Western society is obsessed with a cult of youth. In other cultures, by contrast, older people are more likely to be associated with wisdom and life experience. Fortunately, the ‘army’ of women who are not buying into this youth cult based on outward appearances is growing larger and larger. We only age in years, but we mature in terms of our life experience and our wisdom; our faces reflect the beauty of a life well-lived.
        ​Here’s to us older women!

      • My sister casually announces she’s fat from time to time and she’s smaller than me. Throws the brain when someone declares themselves to be in a deficit but they still have more than you. I find it funny that I’m actually more content with my aging than I was in my youth. Guess it’s what we take from the life we live. Good write, Fia

        • What got me is the announcement of I’m old. Not a grey hair, laugh lines nothing. Me being me I said I must be decerped. lol
          She caught on. But damn. Thank you Willow
