Micah stood up greeting her with a smile. His smile faltered when he noticed her expression. His hand reached towards her face and he used his thumb to rub the crease between her eyes. “Your face is much too beautiful to look so pensive.” She stood looking at him as he slid his fingers slowly down the side of her face leaving a trail of heat behind. She shuddered and her tummy tightened. “Are you okay?” he asked. “I’m fin...

Cordelia ran at a hard sprint, pushing herself harder, trying to outrun all of the emotions that had been building inside her. When she couldn’t push it any further, she slowed to a jog. Finally, slowly to a walk, she started to feel the cool air and realized she should have brought her cloak. Taking in her environment for the first time, she realized she had run a lot further than she had planned. Cordelia was almost two...

You say the words, Even as they teeter At the edge of my tongue. You give voice to thoughtsNot yet fully formedIn my mind.  You articulate my opinions,So I better understandMy own heart. I know your reaction Well before you give it.I know your passions,What ignites and stokes them. In sync, but unpredictable;Familiar, never dull.Still you surprise me,Astound me, amaze me. You always will.

12th of February – Season 2 By the time the sun started to rise and throw light through the curtains, Lorrain January had been up for hours already. She hadn’t been able to sleep a wink and she knew why. It was the guilt. It didn’t help at all that she was already suffering a very low sense of self-worth by getting back with him despite him digging around her personal belongings. Unfortunately, she valued the lifestyle he...

She spent most of the next day getting supplies that she needed for her house. She knew that she had at least two weeks at home because word of new Weres never came until after the full moon. Werewolves were able to change whenever they wanted, but during a full moon they had to and that is usually what allowed them to be seen by their neighbors or friends. Sometimes, however, it was a stranger unlucky enough to come acro...

“Don’t stop running!” the woman panted, dragging her son with her. The boy was scared and crying. He didn’t understand why his sister and father were not running with them. They ran for the hidden cave in the side of the mountain. “It’s a little further, son,” his mother said as she tried to reassure him even as her chest was tight with fear, rage, and grief. They made it to the river and she paused long enough to pick th...

We walked a path togetherThrough the sunshine and the shadeOver mountain tops and valleysThrough the forest and the glade.At times the path was easyAnd warm rays lit our tracksLaughter flowed like musicThe wind pushed upon our backs.Other times were much harderStorms and blizzards slowed our wayBut worse, our own mistakesIncluding my ownNear drowned us in dismay.But we marched on through itWith grit and a smileWith forgiv...

“No, Julie… It’s because I love you. I fell in love with you the moment I saw you when I was buying that book, and that love grew the more I was knowing you. The day you smiled for the first time, I felt like if nothing else in the world was more important than to make you smile. Now that I know what caused your sadness, what broke your heart and confidence, and your enjoying life, I am so angry I could even kill those be...

She searched all over for the love she read about A fairytale A Romeo and Juliet One in a million kind of love  Then out of nowhere He walked into her life He was like a modern-day knight in shining armor They were smitten from the word go  There were fireworks every time they touched They knew it was a forever one of a kind love She had butterflies when he touched her He melted when she smiled The passion  The touch The...

Through time and distancesand in your case other arms,we have become strangers,strangers who politely refuseto acknowledge each other.I would have not ended this, would not have betrayed you,would not have strayed from you,would not have left you at all.So so many memories flowand flood the solitude of hours,I have nothing else to tell you,you may have chosen well,you may have chosen badly,I care not now, you have chosen....

With an open mouth, I breathed you inside,  Fearlessly, you nested in my ribcage, Hanging bobbles, you settled in for the ride My heartbeat bare, center stage    You slept soundlessly on my lungs, Spend your days observing the muscles of my heart The way it pulsed, it spoke in tongues How did you enjoy this new start?   Days passed as you poked and prodded, Through every inch of flesh, Through all the blood that clotted U...

"Are you there, my dear Eloise?" she called out to the shadows. She waited in still silence, hanging on hope. Her pulse grew as the wind picked up, rattling the windows. She spun around, searching for a figure in the darkness. Wood creaked underneath her as she stepped closer. "I still think of you, my dear Eloise. The way your hair tangles in the wind, the way you squint when you're upset, the softness of your lips..." s...

I watched you windsurf for most of the day, The sails went back and forth with the occasional jump and twist and maybe a flip. This looks impressive to those of us who don’t do it ourselves. Afterwards, we went to a spot near the river where people were jumping off a cliff into the waters below. I went also, but when I looked over the edge, I froze.  People were watching from below with words of encouragement. “It’s easy...
