Am I sitting on the floor grading while getting my oil changed? Yes, but that’s not the point. The owner asked me why, and I told him I was a teacher. He muted the tv, got me a stapler, made me coffee, and gave me 50% off my oil change. I’m so thankful! Happy Monday!❤️❤️

It’s officially my birthday!
My motto for this new decade:
Go big or go home.
🎶 🖤 “Half my life
Is books, written pages
Live and learn from fools and
From sages
You know it's true, oh
All the things come back to you”🖤 🎶

Prepare yourselves, autumn is coming! With that brings the joys of pumpkin-spiced coffee (iced or hot) and all things spooky! Grab your flannels, your wispy scarves too, and have a cup of coffee and a little murder, or two.

Our love was
#Boundless
, my darling
Souls entwined
Across starry skies
Every breath
You inhaled
My lungs did match
Over darkened miles
Our fingers reached
Towards the heavens
Phantom touch
Left me beguiled
We are the creators
Of our future
When I see you
My lips do smile

Lovely little
#dragonfly
Metallic shimmers
Silkened wings
Across my fingertips
Waltz and skate
I’ll not harm you, make no mistake
Into a valley, dahlia laced
We shall build a castle
Our final place
Lovely little dragonfly
Nighttime beckons
Our love awaits

And though they left her aglow
Her raven black heart
Belonged to Poe

My love for you
Was
#convoluted
Twisted lyrics
Mixed with stars
Iced shadows hushed
Shaken boundaries crossed
No other soul
Could heal our scars
Looking back
We could
Have walked away
Gone back to what once was
But here we are
Both lost
& found
I long to be in your arms

Quench your thirst

pulses
Treasures cursed
Unleash your sins now
Steady, slow
Not much further
Submerge below
From darkness, light shines
Lips now cry
Bind me closer
I’ll not deny
In angst we perish
Cast aside
Fasten, hurry
To you, I am tied

Do you remember
When we met
Must have been kismet
How we fell
Into one another’s arms
Found we
Such an

Yes
I often smile
Shake my head
But never question
Why
For as the sun does
Rise and set
Our love
Will always be

An

connection, serenity,
Wrapped in emerald robes held tight.
Cerulean seas gently carry us,
On old lace sails we fly.
Earth is where our love does grow.
Water soothes our aching souls.
Air breathes life into our veins.
Fire ignites passion's burn.

Of me and you
Through starlit skies
And late night sighs
With miles between
And things unseen
A feeling of knowing
With no chance of slowing
The ties that bind
Always on my mind

Curtains drawn
Hold me tighter
Never go
From shadows cast
By moonbeams gold
Shallow whispers
Hear me moan
As heads, we bow
Our arms entwined
Sleep now cometh
Prepare for dawn

Is it possible to be hungover from a super long and stressful week that didn’t involve any alcohol? I think so. Going agenda-less today and just chilling. Happy Saturday! 🖤🖤

Somewhere along
The way
I fell
Inside
That wishing well
I lost my balance
Stumbled down
With no one
Else
To tell
Gripping tightly
Nails did break
A portal deep
Of my
Own Hell
As I hit
Rock bottom
Mesmerized
I decided
To sit
For a spell

Share their song
With all
An ache so deep
My heart does grieve
Strength I’ve none
Carry on
For me
Make it stop
These memories
Or just let
Me live
Inside
Hands I twist
My dam it breaks
Wash away
This pain
I plead

Crawfish in my tracks
Leeches sucked slow
Tainted life, hirudin snack
Wind awoke Rougarou
Howls closer yet

Ready to be met
Hunting littles, spitty grin
Jumper threw, did I
Into flames, his own sin
Rougarou say goodbye

Go slowly, learn to wait.
Feast not on hoaxes seeking you,
Be patient for riches true.
For you, she will stay always,
Through your nights and your days.
Take heed the words I speak,
This love is unique.
Trickle, trickle,
Learn to wait.

In dreams
I did discover
I was granted
Wings
To soar
A chance to take
The road
Less traveled
Freedom
To explore

Held me captive
I did struggle
Scream
And roar
When your voice
It filled the silence
I exhaled
And feared
No more

Raindrops shattered
Earth today
Symbolic, I suppose
Atmospheric tears
Drunk with pain
Released, one by one
Thunder shook me
Deafening screams

Lightning illuminated
Hidden shadows found
Acceptance, for this world

Meet me where the sun sits
I’ll be waiting for your command

One of crooked ideas
His eyes with a squint
Romeo was neither
Her cup of tea
“However will I function,
if all he wants is me?”
On a warm May day
Sparks ignited flames
Shadows held sunlight’s warmth
She met her half, her loving same

Her body laced
In midnight’s breath
Haunted wants
Lay dormant in wait
Expectations of normal
No longer a thought
Bittersweet
She smiled and awoke
Vivid visions captured
Tucked away
Her energy savored
A gift she would share
When she met the one worthy
Of taking that dare

That night, they danced around the fire, Crackling twigs & soft guitar.
Headlights low, each other's eyes,
Logophiles of every whispered word.
That night, they watched stars appear,
Hands held tight,
As love took hold,
Lost inside—their eternity.

Your hand I grip
Now I can breathe
Our stars align
I cry with glee
Your lips to mine
You are all I see

Designed a world of disarray
Peeking eyes lit by fire
Fabricated rest caused them to fade
As creatures mighty and weak
Held tight to what little did remain
