SHORT STORY
June 2014 or 2016
I met a lady
Long and cool.
She spoke to me in dark chocolate whispers..
Some say it should read "husky..
But..
They were so rich,
They tatted the texture of goose bumps on my skin.
What does that mean?
What does it matter?
Just accept..
That your ears taste the air in search of a mystery.
She is a syllable serving her sentence
Amidst the otherwise mundane...
A musical note,
Hidden in a poem...and...
I found her in the heap of my scattered dreams,
And I was an inkblot in her otherwise ordered world...
She left,

What does that strange little man or that demure quiet downcast lady think, or want to say? Maybe this:

The Melody That Healed
The voice, belonging to Jamie, was a revelation. It wasn't just the melodic beauty or the perfect pitch that captivated Alex; it was the raw emotion, the palpable heartache, and the fleeting moments of joy that echoed in every note. Jamie's songs, each a narrative of life's trials and triumphs, resonated with Alex on a profound level. The melodies seeped into Alex's soul, awakening a long-dormant yearning for connection, for understanding, for love.

My To Be Read List
I have been taking some time away from writing. I haven't forgotten about Vocal, the truth is I just have been too busy pursuing other things to write online and honestly, my little family and I just had a really hard month between the flu and a weird eye infection/cold circulating our house. I'm currently sipping some warm peppermint tea because my throat is sore.
