And I fall........ like ribbons of soft linen cascading onto the floor. Quietly waiting......... for some gentle hand to patiently mend the pieces and make them whole again.
These are my poems that deal with a life time of healing from childhood sexual and physical abuse. I was a victim of abuse at the hands of my stepfather from the age of 9 thru the age of 18, however, the physical abuse never stopped until I left home at the age of 19. I would like to say my troubles ended there but sadly I walked into another abusive environment when I married my ex-husband. The abuse has long ended & I have been blessed in my life with a wonderful husband & beautiful daughter. However. the healing from the past has just begun. My poetry has nothing to do with talent but everything to do with emotions.
Peaceful Blessings to all who come here to read my words.

Dance as though no one is watching you.
Love as though you have never been hurt before.
Sing as though no one can hear you.
Live as though heaven is on earth.
