duende

"Ponytail" by Last Exit

up
from the soles
a restless silken quake
this life
this absolute death
a serenade
unapologetic

    A serenade not to be wasted invites a dance partner.

    Sing, sing, dance on.

waiting for the boss

this is the story of a girl who lived in the basement of the girl next door sheltered in the confines of a  suburban tract house dungeon; her punishment for runnin' wild with dreams half unlatched she ran like a spirit in the night from those badlands wind blowin' through her hair shielding her eyes from the blinding light she hugged onto a shoreline of hope someday soon, she's not sure when her savior will rise up from the streets with an armload of rain soaked roses and second chances Rene ~ 2010 Click  Here   to join Magpie Tales creative writing group .
