She struggled through that night and the cords so long and tight never ceased to weigh and hold her down Clothes ragged, sere and bare, Brambles in her hair, She hungered for the peace to end the pain But one day the sun came shining down and one day the earth was covered round and…… Continue reading Flying Free

Emerging
She stands still in early light rosy cheeks glow so bright Naked to the chilly air quickly donning lacy fair Soon she’s dressed in lingerie Strongly delicate jobs have they Covering the mystery That all girls keep from thee Carefully picks a patterned top, then a skirt that solid be Pulls on tights with a…… Continue reading Emerging
Time and Tide
The tide rolls in Grey and drear Soaks the sand Between the shore and the sea The tide rolls in Washes away The joy and laughter and nights spent in friendship The time passed by The color returned The sky turned blue and joy renewed Wait patiently While time and tide Wash away the hurt…… Continue reading Time and Tide

Transforming A young man Wonders what Girls feel How they are Different Order becomes disorder Genesis becomes chaos All is rearranged Until order is Reasserted Father dreams…… Continue reading Becoming
