Forbidden
An Acrostic
Dazzled by this new man’s charms
Intoxicated in his arms
Secret passions, stolen time
Torment as desires climb
Ravished with illicit love
Ask forgiveness from above
Caught, exposed the lie
Temptation raging, old vows die
In the deepest dark of night
Only dawn reveals the light
Nothing will ever make this right
…a timeless tale of forbidden love, expressed in a 52-word acrostic for the word DISTRACTION, submitted to the Dancing with Distraction Challenge.

Confessions of an Empath
The birds are chirping, and the sun is shining in a cloudless July sky. The vibrancy promises a beautiful day, but the cooing of the Mourning Dove perched on the powerlines seems to be more fitting than the lively songs of the robin flitting through the trees. The melancholic calls of the dove cloak the world in a sadness that hangs like tattered drapes.
