• New Life

    Photo by Jocke Wulcan on Unsplash  As soon as I saw the house, I knew I was home.  That I was finally ready to start my new life.  A life where Jeremy would never find me.  I knew he would never follow me across an ocean to a country where he wouldn’t understand the language.  In a country whose native language isn’t English,…

  • Future Life

    PHOTO PROMPT © Rochelle Wisoff-Fields  As soon set over the mountains, I wondered what my next step would be.  Would I continue on with my dream or should I turn back and return to the life every expected of me?  The missed calls on my phone meant my family was not supportive of my decision, but I knew I couldn’t let them make my decisions for…

  • Urges

    Urging to live life  Not knowing any better  I will not tell you 

  • Protection

    This is the key to your apartment  Look into your own compartment  You were protecting yourself  And putting my feelings on the shelf  Like you are a part of the justice department 

  • Trial

    There will not be a fair trial  But all I can do is smile  The longer I keep wasting  When I find myself hating  As long as I don’t have to run a mile 

  • Not My Home

  • Top Secret

    “This is top secret.  We cannot let anyone else in on our plan,” Jonah paused as he looked around at our small (but mighty) group.  “This is your last chance to back out with no repercussions.”  When nobody backed out or stared hopelessly at the ground, Jonah nodded toward the playground with determination.  I had hoped he was going to…

  • I’ll Follow You Into the Dark 

    When the sun goes down  At the end of the day  The birds go silent and the fireflies appear  The bears came out to play  Roaring fires and brightly shining stars  Spirits come out to show their wild side  Booing, scaring, jumping, seething  Haunting is their source of pride  I will follow wherever you may…

  • Earth

    Mother Earth counted the cost  Of everything she had lost  Between the sun and the moon  The end would come too soon  All we do is act like our hearts are covered with frost 

  • Heart of Love

    Welcome to the heart of loneliness  If you were only one to confess  Did you really see my future?  Or was the truth in the suture  Because you acted like Your Holiness
