The moon light glows
over my pale imperfections,
Illuminating my scars.
I trace fingertips over my skin
as I dance under the celestial light,
reminiscing on journeys of my past.
I try to appreciate the linger of pain
along with her sister, pleasure.
Who I once was shifts under lunar shadows,
watching who I am now spin in lustrousness.
I am a child of Artemis,
I feel her arrows pierce my heart
as Apollo dreams.
I come to life under the moon
& climb into myself in the sun’s rays
humming aubades til the world slumbers.

Late night cravings
Mystical allure of the moon's gentle glow, In the depths of darkness, desires grow. Delicious whispers of cravings untold, Nighttime melodies, enticing and bold. Igniting passions that refuse to sleep, Gathering shadows, secrets to keep. Hunger for flavors, both sweet and savory, Tantalizing senses in a nocturnal reverie.

Tea set by a suffragette
Pankhurst is a name well known to the history of women’s suffrage. Who hasn't heard the name Emmaline Pankhurst, founder of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), an all-women organisation campaigning for the right to vote? The group that helped to achieve the right to vote for women in Great Britain and Ireland in 1918. Some know of her daughter Christabel, both being honoured by the Pankhurst memorial in Victoria Palace Gardens, London, right next to the UK Parliament buildings. Sylvia Pankhurst is notably not included in the monument. Why? Because she split with the WSPU to campaign against Britain's entry into First World War.
