About This Author
A changeling spirit,
constantly evolving,
revolving around an inner core,
spinning forth legend and lore,
stories and lives
as I come to grips
with who and what I am,
have been and may be.
I am a phoenix:
rising ever above and beyond!

Christmas Wishes
if you're gonna break my heart just break it:
smash it like an ornament
that falls from shaky branch on the tree
to explode in shards upon the floor--
Trying to fix the broken causes
fingers to bleed.
Like an ornament, I am fragile,
I'm not made out of steel; but
I need more hours with you.
And yet, don't want to be
just another ex-love you don't wanna see.
27 blocks to go--
Feel years and miles away. All I want
to know is you love me now and I feel the same way
I always did; always have.
Baby, I still see you.
Everywhere I go I see your face.
Like Baby Shark. you ear worm on repeat
I got this feeling in my bones,
an insistant beat of drums,
and it reverberates.
Almost to your place,
I see the wreath I made you hanging on your door.
Please, play me close. Keep me
closer still.
What's the point
of looking like a princess if you can't
see me.
Remember when once you said
'This is perfect?'
We weren't,
but we were damn good together.
I was so surprised when you called.
So happy. So scared.
Don't want to be
just some dollar store ornament
hanging on your arm this Christmas.
I want to be the shining star
atop your branches.
You're running out of time
and I'm almost out of glue.
if you're gonna break my heart just break it:
I'm not made out of steel
I need more hours with you
just another ex-love you don't wanna see
you love me now and I feel the same way
27 blocks to go
everywhere I go I see your face
Baby Shark
I got this feeling in my bones
Baby, I still see you.
looking like a princess
play me close
this is perfect
you're running out of time
