You are never alone – Sarah Jean Bowers

~ Nicole Lyons ~ 21 Comments

Depression and anxiety Encompass more than sadness, Fumbling hands, and racing heartbeats. It's missed deadlines, Canceled plans, drawn blinds to block the sun, prayers to make it to dawn. It's silence after breakdowns, Bruised knees From praying for peace. It's lying in the fetal position, drowning in a sea of tears. It's succumbing to grief … Continue reading You are never alone – Sarah Jean Bowers

To Summon the Beast – A collaboration Nicole Lyons & SeA

~ Nicole Lyons ~ 12 Comments

Our shadows danced around the fire like savages before a kill, unaware that our souls were their prey. Graced without inhibitions or regard for self-preservation, we danced on. The flames licked our heathen heels, scorching flesh long into the night. The way we moved bled fevers through seared skin and cast the smells of our … Continue reading To Summon the Beast – A collaboration Nicole Lyons & SeA

Today is my Goddam Birthday – Dori Owen

Tiny stories crawl beneath her skin. Sometimes they breathe love from her heart, dropping kisses from her soul and other times they drag sadness through her core and stay hidden behind her eyes. © Michelle Schaper 2016 Until the memories find their way inside, exploding the tears through the blue, through the brown, puncturing the … Continue reading She Is Soul and Stories – A Collaboration

Pretty Poison – N.R. Shepherd

~ Nicole Lyons ~ 6 Comments

    I often ran my hand, down her back, from her neck, to the tip of her vertebrae. A smooth perfection, the way the light glistened off of her scales. I admired the way she used her tongue; sexy how it flickered, tasting the air. Constrictive, how she could disengage her jaws, and swallow … Continue reading Pretty Poison – N.R. Shepherd
