• Death is Silence

    The talking head that went to bed,Fell into silence,Now it's dead.

    More than Skin Deep

    they tell her all the time"you're so pretty"she smiles with a little sighand thanks them politely but she was raised to rememberflesh is only the outer layerwhat matters is the insidehow she treats othershow she behavesand what she does with her...

    • A great piece, this is great advice for both males and females. Tight

      • I believe it would be great for both. I only experience this world through the eyes of a woman though. So she was raised to be the fiercest woman she could in a world that often only sees our outer package

    • Wonderful write! Reminds me of my daughter, too. They are miraculous, aren’t they?
      ❤️k

      • I’m constantly flabbergasted that she was raised by me. They are incredible indeed!

    • Beautifully penned, Willow. In the book it belongs! Excellent tribute to your daughter, such a powerful message my friend. Amazing arrangement that fit the power of the meaning. Amazing work. Appreciate you.

      • She’s on an upswing now but the pandemic took the wind out of her sails. As a fellow Pisces, you know the fluidity of y’all’s fierce nature. She will rock the world. Thank you, my friend

    • hello beautiful Willow you did beautiful job raising and guiding such a spirit ❤️

      • I did the best I could. I just wanted her to be strong in her sense of self. I never was and it took a toll. Thank you, Brenda 🧡

    • This is so heartfelt since I have 2 girls myself. Love what you wrote about your daughter.

      • Given the right encouragement, girls are incredible forces to contend with. Thank you, Fia

    • I have witnessed this. To pay close attention to another’s entire being is to be rewarded with infinite wonders and friendships.
      Your poem is so thoughtful and tender while bearing a harsh truth.
      🙏💚

      • It’s aggravating for her to have thoughts and not be heard because they’re focused on the wrong things. Some would say it’s their loss, but its hers too. And mine. And every woman summed up by her physical attributes. Thank you, Jim

    • Awesome awareness of her value. It is old news, that our looks will fade and our health will wane, so what we have of value on the inside is what will sustain us. That fortitude to be a decent human even if surrounded by “less”. it is our shine, our aura, that will never fade. Sounds like she has hers intact, probably many thanks to you, dear Willow.

      • She’s a force to be reckoned with. There’s not much I’ve done that I’m super proud of, but raising her is top of the list. And to be honest, she teaches me now. Full circle. Thank you, Styxian

    • Her pedigree of character and consciousness has never fallen
      far from the Tree that bore the amazing fruit she has blossomed into

      Much respect always

      Naaj

      • I have my Roots to thank for setting an example that I was honored to teach her. It always comes back to the roots. Thank you, Naaj

    • This is an awesome tribute to your daughter, dear Willow! You raised her in the light of the only true values that matter – sustainable values of love, peace and understanding. You must be very proud of your daughter. She is really beautiful, she has a beautiful soul!

      • She is my rock, my shining star, my inspiration and my greatest joy. I am indeed very proud of her! Thank you, Elke

    • Excellent .. I just know for sure you are both so very lucky .. just being and having each other .. write on Willow 😎🌻👍

      • For a long time all we had was each other. I chose to be her mother first, not a buddy. Now I have a best friend. She’s forbidden me to die. We’ll see how that goes… Thank you, Neville

    • I only raised her so far…and the rest is her own indomitable spirit. She speaks, I listen. I am amused how often we say the same thing at the same time. She used to roll her eyes. Now she just laughs. I guess there are worse things than thinking like her mother. Thank you, girl

  • SEX

    I have your attention now.I really enjoy sex, but it’s important that it’s not something I do just because I have to, whether out of physical need or emotional release. I don’t want it to be a performance where...

    It isn’t solitude that killsbut loneliness.Not the want of company,but the ache left by thosewho once knew your silenceswho once saw into your soul. You can stand in a room bursting with laughter and still feel no touch of being...
