I’m not proud of myself for becoming like them;addicted to tiny blips of self-gratification,vacant validation.I have lamented my losses,burned countless bridges,all for the sake of self-protection.I wonder if I have it in meto see what someone offers,accept it gratefully.

The Opportunist
He was her first after a tumultuous marriage where touch had been rare and the newness of feeling desired, now, was welcome. She bathed in the depths of his eyes, locked with hers as they melded together, as if they had always been one. He called her “amazing”. She felt hope that maybe there was…

Joy
I cry, not tears of pain, joy that I know him, strengthened by his being, hopeful for his happiness as he is for mine. Emily ©

Vibrant
He’s been away so long, she takes in each kiss and breath, each rose and gesture, subtle moments and vibrant fires, feeling the newness of mutual desire, opening places in her soul long closed, newly planted. Emily ©
