Angelique's Repose. Top Story - May 2025.
Angelique hides quietly in a shrub as bees and birds flit around her. A ladybug climbs up her arm to rest on her shoulder. As she watches clouds, a napping, curled cat floats in the sky, followed by a strand of pearls spreading vertically and horizontally. There are many cloud shapes: eagles, mountains, a sleeping baby, and a canoe drifting along the sky river. Leaves brush against Angelique's immobile and ageless form, a concrete maiden frozen in time.

Weary of Love
Weary of Love I grew tired of love It had become my refuge and escape, A longing I once pursued. Then came femininity and crowned beauty, Pure-hearted, an endless hymn. You surprised me with your radiant presence, After silence had settled in my bed. I confronted the night each passing evening, Sleeplessness sighing beside me. Then it spoke a truth "I am the dark night, You only see beauty in me Through the lit candles. You, always still, Never striving to shine. Life is a pursuit, a desire, For those who seek love Today, I see your face illuminated, Lights rejoicing in your attire. When the candles lit, I saw a butterfly dancing around you, Yearning for your presence. I found beauty, The dance of butterflies, All seeking you. You have changed, Now your nature is captivating. With love, we revive; With life, we trade. When she approached me, Her lips adorned with smiles, Fragrant with amber. I said, "Welcome, my beloved, The joy of my heart, The paradise of my state. You were once my thought, A dream I envisioned. Today, you reside in the heart of a lover, Questioning the past. Why the distance in the early days? She danced, adorned herself, Paused before speaking, Perhaps to ignite my longing With the sweetness of her song.
