The gulp of air,
First breath taken
I felt fear when I breathed in life
I didn't want to be here
...
Vanilla Butterflies
We had a light green balcony which in the springtime matched the vanilla butterflies,
They were ivory color and when caught they smelled of vanilla in the summer.
Our hallway floor felt like cement to the bare foot touch,
...
One day withought any thought I caught a butterfly in my net. I held her by the wings,
Excitement took hold of me.
I caught her standing a top of my tippy toes, holding on to the rail. A was a ballerina after all.
What a wonder what a feat, I mused within myself. I ran to show my mother.
...
O! My dear Cleaopatra
Daughter of Isis and Osiris
Fathered by the Great Alexander
You have guided me thus far
...
I was asleep for years,
Put under a spell
Like sleeping beauty.
...
I felt fear when I breathed in life
I didn't want to be here
Where ever that is, I was.
It was cold,
...
We all wear masks but no one told me
I didn't know it was a secret
I just wanted to blend in when I met you
I didn't know you would steal my light
...
Be still my love
Be still my heart
Be still with me.
Forever I am yours,
...
