To Say Goodnight
a serious limerick
all my nightmares left their playgrounds in the dark to shadow dance in the light
and I was left silver lining fishing for you in the sea of uncertainty in spite
of the fact that I knew that the You I fell in love with didn't exist and sue
me for repeatedly leaving but in the end I always couldn't resist returning to you,
faithful, forgiving tide to the moon who showed a different face every night

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.

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.

You sure know how to make limericks a serious thing. This was another gut puncher. Beautifully written, RC!
Beautiful piece.
