I was only creating financial awareness, as there are so many gullible borrowers out there. The same post attracted a positive response on … Continue reading Reena’s Xploration Challenge #224

Square One
Square one …. by Michelle Navajas
Square One
you camouflage behind the comfort of your thoughts and the warmth of your tears.
you take solace upon solace from things that drove you prey to irrational fears.
over the years and beyond time and space you continued to live with grace.
over circumstances and between apprehensions and destruction you took on your space.
alas! you believe you are at peace, free from all the turmoils of your unlikely past.
alas! you thought you are cleared, from the demons in your head cluttered like dust.
those fine powder waste particles should have been lying on the ground.
those same particles took on living for years and years in your head.
you have removed the accumulated issues from your mind.
you have decided to unburden yourself from all that was behind.
you have discharged yourself from all the voids and the daunting oblivion.
you have stripped yourself of the…

Unmasked
Unmasked ….a touching poem by Ami Offenbacher- Ferris
By (Gypsie) Ami Offenbacher-Ferris
Inspired by Reena Saxena’s poem Dual Identify
If I should remove my mask
Would you still love me?
To gaze upon my face
barren and plain
Would you dare even
whisper my name?
If I bared my heart revealing all the mistakes the failed tries at a life-long love and one true mate
Would you still love me?
To see the all the scars and
heart break memoirs?
And should I expose all
that I know from depravity
to heavens pure love
Unimaginable pain to erotic release
Will you tear me to shreds leaving me
alone with my hurt piece by piece?
If I removed all the glue
to show all of me to you –
Would you still love me true?
