Why do I write poetry
Why do I write poetry?
it is cheaper than doctors
pharmaceuticals
drugs
alcohol
it soothes my soul
speaks my truth
and actually
if you piece
all of the poems together
you will know my story
Eggshells
All the paths
I traveled
were covered
in eggshells
until I found you
Melt me
He slides into bed
reaches over and pulls her close
heat warming her
he gently kisses her neck
and she whispers melt me
