poem: a quiet space – 29/06/22
There exists within, a quiet space Where I can gently rest I lay my head upon my pillows Feel downy tenderness I lose myself in unconscious flow Need not be concerned about those who won’t listen I am rising high and low And into a section of My mind A portion Where it’s comforting and…

poem: fifty shades of tears (Instagram prompt) – 16/06/22
Fifty shades of tears and sixty shades of fear a hundred thousand pounding heartbeats a million yearning fingers clawing dragging each another near.
