Boundaries in Bloom
In the garden of my heart, where love’s roots run deep,
There blooms a tough, tender truth I must keep.
Among the thorns of harsh words, under weeping willow trees,
I plant my feet firmly, nurtured by a gentle breeze.
A table placed with care, a gift chosen with thought,
Yet the feast of affection cold, the present left to rot.
Words, like autumn leaves, fall sharp and unkind,
I gather them softly peace, the treasure I find.
Boundaries, like blossoms, unfold with grace,
Marking the space where respect must be returned.
The tangled weeds of...
There blooms a tough, tender truth I must keep.

Yet the feast of affection cold, the present left to rot.
Words, like autumn leaves, fall sharp and unkind,
I gather them softly peace, the treasure I find.

Sanctuary in Shadows
In the heart of revelry, beneath Bourbon's neon glow,
I danced, amidst spirits of joy and tales of woe.
Big Daddy's, our stage a world both fierce and fair,
A realm where shadows danced in the sultry air.
Thirty years on that floor, where dreams and demons meet,
Witness to lives that twirled on the edge of bitter and sweet.
The veil thinned, revealing energies dark and wild,
Yet around me, a sanctuary guarded me tenderly and mild.
Guarded by unseen forces, in the night's embrace,
I moved untouched, through time and space.
The abyss beckoned,...
I danced, amidst spirits of joy and tales of woe.
Big Daddy's, our stage a world both fierce and fair,
A realm where shadows danced in the sultry air.
Thirty years on that floor, where dreams and demons meet,
Witness to lives that twirled on the edge of bitter and sweet.
The veil thinned, revealing energies dark and wild,
Yet around me, a sanctuary guarded me tenderly and mild.
Guarded by unseen forces, in the night's embrace,
I moved untouched, through time and space.

Queen of the Ashes
In the game's shadowed play, unwitting, a pawn was I,
Yet from its depths, a lesson profound did rise.
Commanding demons old to kneel beneath my gaze,
Through labyrinth's twist, a game of disguise.
Not a pawn, but a queen, from the ashes I claim,
Unseen was the fire within, a dance in the blaze.
Crafted from stardust, a witch of untamed fame,
You sought to use, unaware of my inner maze.
The cost, still veiled, awaits its due time,
For you sought destruction, a pawn to demean.
Yet from the wreckage, a queen did climb,
Forged in trials, a...

Empowerment Unveiled
In the quiet of reflection's embrace,
I weave the sequel of my soul's trace.
Unveiled truths whisper in the night,
It was never about me, in the harsh light.
My feelings, like dust, scattered unseen,
A mere pawn in your grand scheme.
A tool for desires not my own,
In your quest, my heart was thrown.
Low, you stooped, in shadows cast,
But the universe watches, echoes vast.
Karma's footsteps, silent but sure,
Return to you, the intentions impure.
Yet, in this twist, a revelation clear,
My heart, untouched by spite or fear. ...

Whispers in the Shadows: Embracing the Unseen Journey
In the heart of night, beneath the moon's soft glow,
I wandered paths where shadows dance and secrets flow.
Through the corridors of memory, past the doors of Big Daddy's light,
I traced the echoes of laughter, and the whispers of the night.
Among the revelry and music, a darker tale unfolds,
Of energies unseen, of futures untold.
A dream of teeth falling out, a harbinger of despair,
A warning unheeded, floating in the air.
I stood amidst the entertainment, a sentinel in the crowd,
Bearing witness to a shadow, silent yet loud.
I reached out...
I wandered paths where shadows dance and secrets flow.

A dream of teeth falling out, a harbinger of despair,
A warning unheeded, floating in the air.

Bearing witness to a shadow, silent yet loud.

Rising Beyond the Storm
In the quiet, I stand tall, observant,
Watching the play of shadows and light.
Amazed not by grandeur but resilience,
As I navigate through day and night.
You, a storm, sought to destroy,
Preaching love while sowing despair.
True love uplifts, it doesn’t shatter,
A truth I’ve learned, as I breathe fresh air.
From one to another, you leap, leaving scars,
Spinning tales that the wind erases.
But the pattern reveals more about you,
A mirror to your own broken places.
In gratitude, I find my power,
Escaping the shadows, into the sun...
Watching the play of shadows and light.
Amazed not by grandeur but resilience,
As I navigate through day and night.
You, a storm, sought to destroy,
Preaching love while sowing despair.
True love uplifts, it doesn’t shatter,
A truth I’ve learned, as I breathe fresh air.
From one to another, you leap, leaving scars,
Spinning tales that the wind erases.
But the pattern reveals more about you,
A mirror to your own broken places.
In gratitude, I find my power,
Escaping the shadows, into the sun...

Whispers of Strength: A Dream's Guidance
In the heart of my tale, a chapter unwritten,
Of shadows from kin and peers, harshly smitten.
Yet a dream, under moon’s gentle gleam,
Whispered wisdom, a flowing stream.
Hear your soul, its silent plea,
For in its whispers, you shall be free.
Challenge not the dreams that guide,
Lest harsh lessons in shadows hide.
No name shall I give, nor face single out,
For my strength, they do not hold, not a shred of doubt.
Time, the revealer, in its endless march,
Proves wrong the hate, under heaven's arch.
Gratitude fills me, for lessons...
Of shadows from kin and peers, harshly smitten.
Yet a dream, under moon’s gentle gleam,
Whispered wisdom, a flowing stream.
Hear your soul, its silent plea,
For in its whispers, you shall be free.

Lest harsh lessons in shadows hide.
No name shall I give, nor face single out,
For my strength, they do not hold, not a shred of doubt.

Proves wrong the hate, under heaven's arch.

Embrace of the Warrior Heart
In the depths of my being, where feelings start,
Every action, every breath, is drawn from my heart.
A guide that colors every night and day.
Its whispers, soft yet fiercely clear,
Dictate the path I hold so dear.
Through joy and through pain, through calm and through storm.
This heart, though battered, broken, yet beats,
In its rhythm, a story of love and defeats.
My heart has faced peril.
Battered and bruised, yet unyielding in its fight,
A beacon glowing steadfastly in the night.
Would I walk this path again, embrace each...
Every action, every breath, is drawn from my heart.
A guide that colors every night and day.
Its whispers, soft yet fiercely clear,
Dictate the path I hold so dear.
Through joy and through pain, through calm and through storm.
This heart, though battered, broken, yet beats,
In its rhythm, a story of love and defeats.
My heart has faced peril.
Battered and bruised, yet unyielding in its fight,
A beacon glowing steadfastly in the night.
Would I walk this path again, embrace each...

Reclaiming My Digital Odyssey
In the realm of cyberspace, I took my stand,
A journey on Facebook's digital land.
With friends and family, a decade's embrace,
In this virtual world, I found my place.
But storm clouds gathered, toxicity grew,
A web of turmoil, emotions askew.
I pondered my path, sought guidance from near,
To face this dilemma, confront the fear.
Alternatives considered, but none felt right,
So back to the familiar, I turned my sight.
Forced to stay in discomfort's domain,
I shifted my viewpoint, sought strength to gain.
I balanced the scales,...

Resonance of Transformation
In the realm where energies intertwine,
I hold your negativity, a shadow malign,
But in my heart, a spark of light does shine,
To transform the dark into a radiant sign.
I draw your sorrow, your anger, your despair,
Into my being, with a loving, gentle care,
And in this sacred space, we both repair,
As we dance together, in a cosmic affair.
With strength and love, I weave a spell,
To transmute the pain into stories to tell,
For I release the hurt, wishing you well,
As the healing journey within you, dwells.
The rest...

Ms. Grinch's Cozy World
I am Ms. Grinch, In my little world,
where I alone reign,
With my coffee and voodoo dolls, my unique domain.
I avoid the crowds, oh yes, indeed,
In my cozy nook, I find all I need.
"Snug as a bug in a rug," I cheerfully declare,
With a twinkle in my eye and not a single care.
A cup of coffee, my morning's delight,
Brings warmth and joy, through and through.
My voodoo dolls, with their quirky grace,
Sit beside me, in their special place.
I hum my tune, both merry and light,
"Peace, weed, and coffee,"...

Healing's Eternal Circle
In the labyrinth of healing, I've found my way,
It's not a straight road but a circle, intertwined.
I revisit the pain, time and time again,
Seeing it anew, like drops of healing rain.
With each turn, I sit with the hurt's embrace,
Gratitude blooms, a healing's tender grace.
Transforming raw pain into who I am.
I changed my perspective, gaining clearer sight.
Gratitude becomes my beacon, my guiding star,
In my work and art, the change does reside,
From agony to gratitude, I let my heart guide.
Some lessons were storms, fiercely painful...
It's not a straight road but a circle, intertwined.
I revisit the pain, time and time again,
Seeing it anew, like drops of healing rain.
With each turn, I sit with the hurt's embrace,
Gratitude blooms, a healing's tender grace.
Transforming raw pain into who I am.
I changed my perspective, gaining clearer sight.
Gratitude becomes my beacon, my guiding star,

From agony to gratitude, I let my heart guide.
