She Speaks

in warm metaphors
from the heart for it's
what she knows

a way to survive
she's a true fighter

exposing her soul

the agony of her past
shamelessly despite her
fears and insecurities

yet do not ever let

her softness fool you
she is fiercely protective
of the ones she loves

razor sharp in her

smart observance
sensually seductive
in her erotic ink

as she breathes
new life into her fire
worn-out & weary

taking us with her
our precious Willow

on the wings of the phoenix
in her breathtakingly beautiful flight
