Out of her head

hermit crab
March 19, 2016April 30, 2018 ~ Tara R. ~ Leave a comment

She lived inside her head, A snug space, comfortable but lonely. In time her solitude took up too much room. She reconsidered being a hermit, And went outside to change her mind.

Love in pieces

heart shaped tree stump
March 12, 2016 ~ Tara R. ~ 8 Comments

There is a comfortable silence between us, A feeling no mere mortal could touch. My heart aches with the love I feel for you. Sweet grace whispers stay with me Until the end of time. We will love a little more, Then pass it on and not wait until it's too late. Each line of this … Continue reading Love in pieces

I see you…

“An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi I see you.

I am reaching out In the hope that you, Will show me the way, … Continue reading I see you…

Filigree wings of elegant wrought iron Body armor aggrandized with cobalt blue cloisonné A tail forged into a wrathful cudgel Bestride my dragon, I blaze into bloody battle Raining down retribution and righteousness Upon the heads of my foes, beating them into submission Sprites and fae my warriors, Milk thistles and rose thorns my swords … Continue reading Dragon herder

Second chance

September 28, 2015February 14, 2016 ~ Tara R. ~ 3 Comments

Sometimes you get a second chance. You fight your way out of the darkness, Wrestling rumbling doubts, raven fears Sorrow unrelenting that rips, and tears And strips apart All reason and sanity. Emerging through a glimmer of hope Into the dawning light, a whisper of Possibilities stirring the fragile silence. As surely as night gives … Continue reading Second chance
