Winter solstice

Cakes and mulled wine

A walk in the woods

And all will be fine

"Strange" said the time-traveller "Can you see the pretty, shiny red fruits on that tree? All the birds seem to be ignoring it & eating the pale, brown ones instead"
"That's instinct, to smell poison by beauty" said the hermit "Sadly one we seem to mostly lack"

I remember Yule night
Cold and dark
When Krampus carved
His cursed mark

My soul burned
My mortality murdered
Death’s lessons learned

My heart fought a barrage of emotion
Now I walk beside this demon cloven
He’s claimed my dark devotion

So well suited they said,
A perfect couple,
The tall handsome man,
And the fairy face girl,
Five long years,
He stayed away,
And still an empty heart,
Family
Folks whispered,
When he passed by,
The printed scarf,
Around his wrist,
He was out,
For her tonight..

There’s places in this world,
Where Little girls
Are scared to grow up,
Regions where
Daughters are sold
On a place
They call marriage,
But there’s also
Places in this world
Where promiscuity
Is called freedom..
Such a big world
But still no safe place for us..

I am too lazy to sleep, just soft and languid with you by my side
But perhaps I can make the journey if you act as my
You could my I could lay
safely d in your arms; encased in your sobriety

Set container on the Sea of Sighs

You ask me what I do
How I handle it all?
Chile, I pray
with a heart of gratitude
4 God's mercy
cuz it could be much worse
which makes me
beyond bills
& ills
the kids this
& my husband's that
& Mama dying last year
I rise
beyond what I can't change
I damn near fly

We travelled for so long to find my home. For years you travelled with me this way.

Now, looking from up here, the way is and I am scared.

We are so close. Please help me make it to my home, then say the words I've longed to hear: you know the answer.

Beneath my vocal cords, fingers knead the tongues of your kisses with the smell of winter.
Souls dismembered by pasts that do not intersect.
emotions.
Time sellers, creators of a love as elusive as my adiós.

Your smile stuck in my mind,
I move from cities to countries,
Trying to forget,
Trying to forgive,
were the words,
That they didn’t even utter,
Lethal were those eyes,
That searched mine,
Didn’t I raise my hands,
To the sky?
But still they remain empty..

In my dreams we're ravens
You and I
Black wings carry us away
Your darkness is stronger than mine
You soar into the sky
And urge me to follow
Oh how I want to Brother
'Cause you'll always be my guiding light
But keeps pulling me down

They knew ahead of us~
They knew
That distance
Was never tied or marked,
That’s why our ghosts danced
In the stars..
Now wrapped in magic winds,
Under the cold moon light,
We shift our shadows
Out of sand scars,
Ethereal
And blushed,

To loves heart..

She's lived by the sea all her life, & watched the coastline little by little. An empty beach gave way to vacationers, eateries came in, a casino was built. She couldn't do much but her house does find place for seashells & starfish that can't find their way back.

To stop that, that hurt’s us
Is fundamental is it not?
Yet defy’s this
&affects each&everyone

All unique-yet similar

There is no one answer
2 ways
Oh it was that simple!
But to ask

What is the true issue?

Perhaps that may start
The road 2
