Poem: That Forgotten Enemy

It seeped into my life when I was a little girl Mother made me look in the mirror She forced me Flaw after flaw Made me look at the floor. I could never see any lightness in me It was all dark dark Misery never left me. Love was my cure Or so I thought.…

New Poetry book: Bohemian Love

When you meet the love of your life everything changes. You never see life the same way ever again… Bohemian love is more than peonies on doorsteps and champagne breakfasts.
