aspiring amore I was. Thinking in poetry again. Green-blue constellation eyes. Staring. Back. I inhaled now and stopped wishing for when. I straightened my spine and felt my bones crack. A bounce in my step and new aura glow; Like there’s no longer a possible stop. And never invention of the word no. The expansion of my heart. Stomach drop.

I've been working two full-time jobs lately. One writing, one falling in love. And as much joy that I take in being a professional Writer... the second job is why I've been so scarce.
