WHEREVER YOU LEAD, I WILL FOLLOW
It's like I have made you with my very own hands
I want you to dance like I taught you every step
And my beacon will call you without any neglect
I want you standing tall even if you feel six feet deep
You're to send chills down spines with a confidence
That's more then just heard whenever you speak
I want your lips telling I’m the reason you breathe
I want for us to always slumber melded in peace
knowing you and God only know secrets I will keep
Let's build our foundation on prayer, faith, and trust
I...

Possibly, Maybe part 2
How will it be done?
maybe a knife or a gun
once done, time to run

Possibly, Maybe
I may kill my wife
she causes me pain & strife
tells me I can't write

Callie's Journals and Her Husband's Trust
March 21, 2024
This morning I’m holding Callie's journal, given to me by her grieving husband. I feel the weight of her absence as I begin to read her words. Memories of her vibrant life flood my mind. Callie lived fiercely (some would say wildly) embracing love in its many forms. Yet, in her faithful union with her husband of six years, she found solace and completeness.
As I sift through the pages, I'm struck by the intimacy and honesty of her thoughts. It’s a testament to her trust in me that he's passed this treasure into my hands. All her life passions, most...

Quantum God
I wonder whether the quantum god
Would ever get confused
And get surprised
At what these humans are capable
And have fantasy to do
There is the thrill of infinity in here
In this planet
In this land
There is so much to do
And it warms you up
And it fires
It is the thrill of infinity in here
For God's sake
There is so much to do
This human and his box of memories
I lament all the boyfriends
I have left
And have left me tonight.
Burberry.

Grocery Shopping
I’m hosting a new life within me and so it surprises me when men look approvingly at my swollen shape. This happened on Saturday while I was at the grocery store.
As I strolled down the aisle of the grocery store, I noticed a man eyeing me intently. His gaze lingered a little longer than usual, and I could feel his admiration from across the produce section.
I felt him coming closer and he said, "Excuse me, miss. I hope you don't mind me saying, but you look absolutely radiant."
I smiled politely, feeling a mix of discomfort at stately tone and...

DARK and TWISTED
Sometimes your honesty feels like violent blows
For I still carry our hidden secrets nobody knows
My eyes have opened, but my soul's departed
You left me stranded after just getting started
Somewhere along the way your feelings shifted
Leaving me often feeling so very dark and twisted
You were a trickster filled with so very many lies
To many when's and way far too many why's
Mixed in also with how come's and also who's
Leaving me dumbfounded without many clues
I know I'm not very special nor am I very gifted
I am...

Letter of Thanks to David
Dear David,
I wanted to express my deepest gratitude for your ongoing support throughout my pregnancy. Your generous financial contributions have made a significant difference and have alleviated so much of the stress that comes with preparing for the arrival of our baby.
While I understand that our relationship had unintended consequences, I am genuinely thankful for the memories we share, particularly of that fateful night. I do regret the strain it placed on your marriage, and I hope that with time, wounds will heal.
On a brighter note, I am incredibly...
