Every poem was made from scratch, strength, and grace; and they all come together to create her grimoire of magic over the last 4 years. It’s for anyone who needs love, and everyone who believes. It’s beautiful and witty, and spiritual and messy. And it’s all true. And it’s all love; for life, Spirit, lessons, family, and even the messiest of messes. And for her. And you.

About the Author

Venting and Blessings

I crave him worse

than any cigarette,

but either way,

the habit

is still costing me my life.

-He’s a Cancer

The problem with sinning

is it doesn’t feel like eternal damnation.

It feels like fun,

and you’re my favorite game.

We put our Poker faces on,

hide our cards from the person to our right.

We win every time,

but practice makes perfect,

so we practice every night.

And the adrenaline tastes like sugar,

so why am I so salty,

about cheating to win?

-Confessions of a Queen of Hearts

When I hear you

say my name,

it sounds like

the sweetest compliment

I’ve ever heard.

-Pillow Talk

I was your getaway.

Got so familiar with the land,

you could’ve given directions to a stranger.

Got so used to my warmth,

you wondered how you ever tolerated the cold.

Got to love me so much,

you wanted to stay forever.

But honey,

you knew when you got here,

I’m paradise.

I could never be home

to a 9-5.

-I’m not meant for the Average Joe

Everything about him,

his laugh,

his thoughts,

his eyes,

his soul,

makes me feel like

a little kid on Christmas

who got everything she ever wanted.

And being with him

feels like my favorite pair of Adidas,

worn-in and comfortable.

And I love him more than

red velvet cake on my birthday

with cream cheese frosting,

and chocolate sprinkles on top.

It’s the most epic climax

on clouds and clean sheets

in a saged room.

With trust,

and lust,

and love,

and him on top.

-Intimacy

We knew what was going to happen.

But my optimism,

despite the evidence,

got the best of me.

We did what we were created to do.

I filled you up,

you drained me dry.

Initial hypothesis was incorrect

as evidenced by the data,

and your selfish ass.

We’ve come to our conclusion,

but you don’t like the final answer.

-Chemistry

Signs come in 3’s.

So how many more times

do you need to come,

before you realize we’re meant to be?

-Lust and Stardust

On Monday he told me,

I look beautiful in blue.

On Tuesday he smiled,

said I’m gorgeous in green.

On Wednesday he said,

he loves me the most in red.

On Thursday he swore,

he loves me in yellow even more.

On Friday he confessed,

he loves me in white more than

all of the rest.

But Saturday and Sunday,

he told me he loved what

I wasn’t wearing

the best.

-I like the way he sees me

It doesn’t matter where we are.

Whenever I’m laying next to you,

I’m home.

And I guess that’s why,

it doesn’t matter where the Universe takes me.

I’ll
