I'd rather regret the things I've done than regret the things I haven't done.
~ Lucille Ball
Poetry, I feel, is a tyrannical discipline. You’ve got to go so far so fast in such a small space; you’ve got to burn away all the peripherals
~ Sylvia Plath
The obstacle is the path.

Update: Even though many of my pieces delve into the struggles and perspectives of right and wrong.. I am finding this a challenge to write pieces for.. born from only a sliver of understanding of how the 7 deadly sins are perceived? Not being very religious but deeply spiritual - I think I view those topics differently..

searching for the Muse...
Like a part-time lover... I delight in a torrid on-again, off-again affair with the written word. Also known as The Poetessential Muse on Facebook and Instagram, I have found that exposing inner desires, dreams and challenges across the interwebs has teased out a much deeper acceptance and evolution of my true self. That hard, inner conversation is always the first one you should have. Only then will you truly know what you want and ultimately map the boundaries we all need, even though I constantly joke that I have none. Imagine me running around erasing all the so-called lines life tosses at me.
When the final word of a piece falls into place - there is no better completion.
