OK...I write what I know...MOSTLY!!!

I write what I know for the most part. What do I know the best, myself. This should be easy right? Well, not so much when you are as complicated as they come. If you get me in person and talk to me, I'm witty and pretty smart (...or as my mama says, "smart ass."). Now, if you want to get to know me on an intimate level...of any kind...that's where the difficulty comes in. I hold back to some degree because expressing myself comes better on the page. Take your time to get to know me. If you are willing and strong enough...you will survive. :)

When the Flames Burn

Steam rolls,

twists,

and curves

through my

fingertips

and into

                        the darkness.

Water falls

beneath

my toes

and soaks

into

                                    immersed, naked

skin.

The flames

burn around

me.

Small, flickerings

of light, no sound,

but memories.

                                    The water

                                     grows cold,

                                                   like the ice

you left

in my veins.
