Moments In Time

This poem is from my first poetry & prose book Moments in Time.

Poetry Challenge #2

Old Hotel Room

A slight moan is heard through the crack in the wall; her tone is soft and pleasing. An echo of a time long gone. The decay of the future settles in. Still the walls remember the past. A tattered curtain dances in the breeze. The lovers laugh.

Distilled Poetry Challenge

At the moment, I am working on a book that is a collection of my paranormal/spiritual/really strange shit that's happened throughout my life. It's not that I want to write about this stuff, as I am wanting to move into a new phase of my life, but these are stories that I cannot let die inside me. They need to be shared. I need to release them. But in the meantime, some of these stories take me to places within myself that I am not comfortable with. And when that happens, I start to drag my pen across the page, draw pretty flowers and procrastinate. So I have found a way to help me get through those moments. As a writer, poetry is the voice that makes my heart sing. On one of the Face Book pages that I follow, a person posts really cool photos that seem to call out to me and so I feel compelled to write a few lines. I am now making this my personal distilled poetry & prose challenge. I am keeping them simple, because, well, I have other writing to do. :o)

Picture #1

Thoughts and intentions crumbled to the floor. As the bottle hit the ground, she whispered "I cannot take it anymore."

SMILE

Remember....a Smile is the best face lift you will ever get.  Not only does it help to keep you looking younger, but will make you feel younger inside too!

New Moon Reset Button

With so much negativity swirling in our everyday lives, it is really nice to have a calendar reset button that we can use to realign ourselves with what we truly want in our lives. Last night/tonight the New Moon is in Leo. The New Moon is a time to begin new projects or plant your seeds of thoughts and intentions. Focus on your Creativity and the beautiful Ideals that you wish to bring into your life. Take the time to sit quietly and  listen inwards so you may hear your Authentic voice.

Inspiration is Everywhere

Hope you are all having a wonderful summer. I am really enjoying my new neighborhood with all the beautiful old trees and a forest near by. The woods is one of my comfort zones where I feel able to easily connect to the oneness of it all. But as I walked down the street today, I came to a place on the road where I looked up and felt like I had been transported to a magical Tolkien reality. Inspiration truly is everywhere!
