Should one fight his way through the thick forest of my sadness– and chisel away every rock of bitterness that walls off my heart– he will find that his efforts were in vain.

I’m not hiding heaven in this heart. My heart is but a chilled cadaver for me to cut into without ever drawing blood. You search for a loving heart to keep you warm in a frozen tomb that was long ago buried? What an odd…

My Second Poetry Book!

We Never Get Snow Down Here by Klorrie D. Now Available in Paperback on Amazon!

I was not so selfish in this life.

I let you go and you found

your fated happiness

soon after our sun had set.

in our next lifetime,

I shall win your heart and keep it.
