Romance Queen

I am working on publishing a compilation of my poetry...Here is a piece that fits... Words Words are more than just letters on paper They are a testimony to emotions verbally unspoken They are factual statements written to give credence to what we've been trying to say. Words are more than just syllables They are broken into a language that we both can understand and comprehend. They are translations of our feelings within. Words are their to build foundations for communication And validation of what we feel and need. Words are written expressions of what we tend to ignore in fear that if we can't speak it we can jot them down to be read later. Words are symbols of our determination to prove what we can't see. They are proof of more than just skepticism but belief. Words are the way we write our history and foresee our future. They allow us to devise a plan And formulate opinions.

I published my 1st book Reality Check on June 25th. Reality Check is a story of survival but also of love.  Sometimes after trauma and tragedy, we have to find ourselves again. We have to find love and ROMANCE again.  That can be hard if you are not willing to recover and forgive.  What is so beautiful about forgiveness and accepting your self and knowing your boundaries, is being able to create your own future and your own experiences.  We can do that in so many ways.

I believe in all the things I did a year ago when I stopped blogging but even stronger.  When you love someone intensely, its hard to just throw that away.  You've sacrificed, made a committment, forgiven multiple times and still you get sick to your stomach, butterflies are no longer fluttering, and you still care...  That's when you know you are not done. You are still willing. You want to forgive.  You want to feel something, anything and so you fight. You try to figure it out. You scream, yell, spat, mutter, cry, shake and you fight. You start getting to know each other again, texting, dating and flirting again. You spend the time you need to renew what you thought was escaping your grasp and you take it one day at a time while you try to fall in love again. You find ROMAN...
