Honey tongued, you speak to me.
The descriptions of your activities in
lush amber tones drift through the air;
every worker bee is envious.
My mouth salivates for sugar water syllables.
The summary of a movie you saw
cruising lazily down my ear canal.
When you ask me about my day,
molasses is dripping from every other word.
Laughter tasting of honey suckle nectar-
the sounds settle in the bottom of my body,
lifting me beyond cloud nine.

Turning Pages of Life
Life’s like a book — some parts are good, others not so much. Still, keep turning the pages; you might find the best chapter next. If someone hurts you, choose to forgive or just let it be, but never change who you are for them.

On Winning and Losing
Recently, the pleasant surprise of placement on the Vocal Bonus Leaderboard sent me down a rabbit hole. Now, rabbit holes are a pretty common place for me to spend time, but I don't always feel the call to write about them. To be honest, the thought of sharing some of them mortifies me.
