Sweet Dreams Are Made of These….

A dear friend recently reminded me that I need to write the story to bring a solid partnership into my life. While she first said this over a month ago, it has only been in the last week or so that I finally came to a place where I believed that I am both worthyContinue reading “Sweet Dreams Are Made of These….”

Fallin’ ~ A Love Story

Stretching and reaching For understanding My mind reels While the heart bleeds Another fall, another girl Fallin’ to her knees Left depleted, confused another burnt out fuse It was you I sought And found in another face It was you who left again Without a trace The smoke and mirrors Just another trick For inContinue reading “Fallin’ ~ A Love Story”
