      <image:caption>I tried to let the words sink in, but they refused In that moment, reality ceased Everything after — Surreal How could it be that I’ll never again hear your voice?

      <image:title>Poems - Flashbacks…</image:title>
      <image:caption>It was the kind of sex you could still feel for days after. Every movement of used muscles evoking flashbacks - steamy clips that sent a surge of heat through your body. Each time she moved to sit down, she could almost feel his hand lightly pressed on the small of her back, while his other hand grabbed her hip, firmly pulling her onto him. When her legs stretched, the ache in her thighs instantly had him back between them, as she straddled his aroused body. And as she stood in the shower, rubbing her neck and shoulders, the hours and days they had spent pleasuring each other’s bodies, gladly servicing him and being serviced in return, flooded her brain - heating her core below… It was the kind of sex you could still feel for days after - and it was going to be a long week. —————————————————— ©️VMLM13 Whiskey + Empathy</image:caption>

TELL ME again how badly you want me, and, Honey, I’LL TELL YOU this… You can’t even begin to imagine all the ways I’m going to bring you pleasure! —————————————————— ©️VMLM13 Whiskey + Empathy</image:caption>

      <image:title>Poems - Reborn…</image:title>
      <image:caption>Our lips touched for the first time under the dark, starlit sky of the new moon. The warmth of his kiss igniting something within. He ran his fingers through my hair, and cradled my head in his hands. I felt the energy of the moon wrap itself around us, and he gently pulled me inside. My body responded, conducting heat everywhere his body made contact with mine. Flames surging through to my core. His mouth traveled down my body, and when his tongue found my spot, complete combustion from within — Incinerated to ashes. And from those ashes I rose. In the darkness of the new moon, I was reborn. Mermaid turned Phoenix - Sailor turned anchor. —————————————————— ©️VMLM13 Whiskey + Empathy</image:caption>

      <image:title>Poems - Last night…</image:title>
      <image:caption>Something about him excited her. The way he was able to take command of a room - Even the sharks backed off. She wanted him. And with each call they had, she knew she was in trouble - Because as forbidden as it was, she knew she had to have him. She wondered if she actually could… Last night, as her lips and tongue explored his body, and he continuously moaned out in ecstasy - She knew she had him. But it wasn’t until she had him between her thighs, riding him, bringing herself to orgasm - When he grabbed her, flipped her, and all while watching her, brought them both to climax, out of breath and moaning in pleasure, that she knew she really had him… —————————————————— ©️VMLM13 Whiskey + Empathy</image:caption>

      <image:title>Poems - Impromptu morning interlude…</image:title>
      <image:caption>The evening lends her shade to the early morning hours So, even though the sun threatens to show himself at any moment, we remain cloaked in darkness I wasn’t expecting you Smiling down at me, you brush the hair from off my face, lean in, and kiss me Your body presses into mine. As if some sense of urgency kicked in, you grab me. Your tongue slides down my neck, and your hands are all over me, A moan escapes my parted lips… You shift again - as if that were some secret cue Now pressed against the side of your car, my breast in your mouth, I can feel your excitement pressing hard on my hip (I throw my head back and look up at the sky - time is running out) and as your hands travel down my tingling body, I know as soon as they reach below my skirt, my own body will betray me Neighbors are waking; We move to the car — As you ready to leave for work I say, “Good morning, and have a good day!” —————————————————— ©️VMLM13 Whiskey + Empathy</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In case I had any doubts, there in the dark, he reached out and placed his hand on mine, reassuring me I wasn’t alone, and he was there.

      <image:caption>Tread lightly. She has been through more than you can fathom; Suffered pains you’ve only seen on the big screen; Walked through the fires of Hell and emerged glowing; Cut herself open to bleed, just to spare her loved ones from pain. So before you think she’s just a fun night, and be reckless with her heart, know this... She is no ordinary woman - She is divinity on Earth - a walking Goddess Best heed my advice and count your lucky stars; Be grateful she has seen something special in you, and Tread lightly. —————————————————— ©️VMLM13 Whiskey + Empathy</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Everything became a haze when you entered my life I felt almost stupid, and powerless I think you always knew I was never able to think straight when it came to you That’s how you cleverly kept me hanging on All the while I thought we had this great love; When in reality, you were just keeping me intoxicated so I wouldn’t notice how I was just your personal drug to use whenever you needed a pick-me-up, to feel good And just like any addict, you always wanted to make sure you’d be able to get your next fix —————————————————— ©️VMLM13 Whiskey + Empathy</image:caption>

      <image:title>Published/Featured Work - Broken Hearts - Healing Words</image:title>
      <image:caption>“Life is filled with seasons: seasons of laughter, seasons of growth, and [even] seasons of grief. It is in these seasons our soul is turned inward. We seek solace, we seek freedom - and we hide. We hid from ourselves, we hide from others, we hide without even realizing we are hiding. The words in this anthology were written by souls who understand the need of companionship in those darkened days of hiding. They are dedicated to those who have loved and lost, and those who are hiding and healing. “</image:caption>
