"When you look at me.. See the life of my strength piercing root, erupting soil to explode my living vine into light, as it wraps itself around the essence of my surrender. Where others merely stand upright by structure of spinal column, it is my curvature that keeps me flowing freely. I am the awakening of air through, She tree." - AbstractPoetTree, the She Tagged by @poeticallyspeaking_13 for the #whenyoulookatme challenge. #AbstractPoetTree #TheInkForest #lifequotes #lovequotes #amazingquotes #poet #poetry #writers #literary_imagery #artistic #spilledink #artists #thoughts #loveletters #poetryinmotion #mywords #spokenword #creativewriting #fitfam #training #fitness #health #writing #truthserum #poetsociety #inspiration #poetrycommunity #writeyourselfalive #wordsdoinspire - theinkforest

We'll travel silently until we reach a rest stop, if ONE WORD is spoken against OUR love. And you'll only be allowed to speak if you're hungry or sleepy. Oh, and if you have to potty.

When you are genuine? Don't allow someone else's fears to rule your courage. Even if you try more than once to prove your sincerity, there is a reward in it NOT panning out. Somewhere down the road of their life, they WILL look back and say, "that person truly cared about me, but I couldn't handle it" or, "I was too afraid and wasn't ready".. regardless, YOU be proud that YOUR courage remains in tact and that YOU were willing to, at the VERY LEAST, make a real effort to show them they were worth trying to make amends till the end. Don't be hard on them. Fear cripples the best people sometimes. And it's sad, but there's ALWAYS a past heartache that's the culprit. Don't be distracted. Be understanding; even in a final departure. Character has its rewards, over ALL.. #AbstractPoetTree #TheInkForest #lifequotes #lovequotes #amazingquotes #poet #poetry #author #writers #literary_imagery #artistic #prose #thoughts #loveletters #poetryinmotion #mywords #spokenword #creativewriting #fitfam #training #fitness #health #writing #truthserum #poetsociety #inspiration #poetrycommunity #writeyourselfalive #wordsdoinspire #spilledink - theinkforest

I just found this blurry shot in an email of photos I sent myself. I was 23 and my dimples are still this defined. I never wore make up, but I always wore lipstick, which I no longer do, ironically.

Be aware.. Maybe you keep getting the run around because he's locked down. Or were you not aware that there are a lot of inmates with internet access; with people on the outside who post old pictures of them when they were free? It hasn't happen to me because I don't date online. But I have heard stories. #TheInkForest #AbstractPoetTree #instaquote #photooftheday #igquotes #igart #quoteoftheday #quotes #lifequotes #prose #amazingquotes #lovequotes #qotd #literary_imagery #artistry #igartists #life #artists #quote #writer #writingcommunity #writers #poets #poetrycommunity #rp #repost #regram - theinkforest

I just needed a silent minute or two to cry and talk to God. I've decided that enough is ENOUGH. YES, I DO have a gift to usher others into various places in their lives they would otherwise run from or abort. But to accept that as my sole purpose in life, I just CANNOT. I didn't sit at the knees of grandparents married 47 yrs in observation and lesson, to not live an even greater love of my own. #fightthegoodfightoffaith #ninewordstory #9wordstory #poetrychallenge by @abr_poetic_writing ..

Tagged by my mystery friend of continued support, the Love Squirrel @perfect.secret for a #turnmeon challenge. I don't write erotica, but since I woke up all flush, I'm apparently still in the love vein, bleeding all over my brain. Yeah so, this is a massive run on sentence, so read it continually with fervor until it ends. Sounds better that way. And I'm not tagging anybody because some of yaw'll gets nasty. You know you do.

One day I'll be in a mutually impacted love, and I imagine he will appear as this.. since the last one was nothing more than a glorified fable, I turned the tables on that fantasy to create a desired reality. #AbstractPoetTree #TheInkForest #lifequotes #lovequotes #amazingquotes #poet #poetry #poem #writersofinstagram #literary_imagery #artistic #love #thoughts #artistsofinstagram #loveletters #destiny #poetsofinstagram #health #fitfam #training #fitness #writingcommunity #romance #creativewriting #music #poetsociety #truthserum #poetrycommunity #inspiration #straightNOchaser - theinkforest

Some people have NO PLANS WHATSOEVER of removing their supposed "love" from the web of deception that is worldwide (www).

How many times have you known a good person at heart who's honest, but gets backed into a corner when faced with something real they cannot handle? Meaning, they've been exposed to feelings they didn't know they had, or unveiled fears they needed to confront, so they lie to themselves to avoid the pain of facing those truths. Until they reach the breaking of a surrender that breeds change, they will continue to live in the masquerade of mental deception. #AbstractPoetTree #TheInkForest #lifequotes #lovequotes #amazingquotes #poet #poetry #poem #writersofinstagram #literary_imagery #artistic #life #thoughts #artistsofinstagram #loveletters #mywords #poetsofinstagram #health #fitfam #training #fitness #writingcommunity #romance #creativewriting #music #poetsociety #truthserum #poetrycommunity #inspiration #straightnochaser - theinkforest

This is a collabo with my sister-friend @endlesspoeticflame God recently brought into my life, and I am grateful for His choice of replenishment close to home.
