flames again

 

My tribe is blue,

my hands are thick as cowhides.

My tongue- stolen and replaced

and yet I remain

strong and

willing with the ocean’s saltiness and care.

She carries my arms when I get to heavy to swim.

Hunting down the storms on the inside.

Praying that, our dream withstands the flames,

withstand the flames ♥

    Love as always. I didn’t forget about the quote challenge. I am going to have to just do the quotes in one post due to my blog’s layout so I’m thinking this Friday. I also didn’t forget about your book. I’m definitely getting it soon!

    Happy Easter, Krissy! I found your site from Tuesday Morning Love and I think your work is superb. Would you consider being a guest poet at my writers blog in April for my “Eye On The Poet” segment? I would love to share some of your poetry with my readers. See what we’re about here: https://clara54.wordpress.com/2015/09/19/eye-on-the-poet/ Let me know what you think.
    Blessings,
    Clara.
