You are asking a 14 year old boy such difficult questions…. Remember I wrote this when I was merely 14… after so many years I still do not have an answer

A tender, tragic truth about wanting freedom before you’re ready to bear its weight. Thought-provoking writing from a 14-year-old boy, Sam. Hope you’re having a lovely day. 🙂

Read MoreCome close, beneath your nearness and the warmth of my skin, until neither of us knows where one begins. Your mouth finds my neck, then pauses there, a whisper of heat caught softly in air. I feel your restraint before I feel your hand, the softest tension I can barely withstand. It...

Thank you, Sam. I’m glad the sensuality and intensity came through. Sometimes a little mystery makes the journey all the more interesting. 😉

Chère G.,
Come close, a better and more inviting intro has not be written so far.
What a beauty you’ve made.And the final four sentences are the cherry on the cake.
Love it to bits!
Warm regards, Gus -

Gus, what a lovely thing to say. I’m so glad the opening drew you in, and the ending stayed with you. Thank you for reading so thoughtfully and for your wonderfully warm words. 🙂

Clever along with the confusion of “knowing” how things will go. This is short but sharp as hell.

First off, the rhyme scheme is on point. I can tell you really had to pull some crafty words to make the rhyme and tempo stay true. You succeeded. The story within is great, it follows through well and ends with a great mood.
Awesome Willow. -

I just listened to the recording! The music matched the tone of your write perfectly.
Even the voice! I’m all for letting go of dead weight in any write. Nicely done:) -

Powerfully penned, Willow. Another excellent write that exercises demons while telling this tale of survival my friend. The music sets the mood as the voice delivers the truth while speaking your words with precision. Goosebumps on this one. Amazing read/listen as always. Appreciate you, Sis.
