 | Aint Throwin Myself Off No Bridges (Final Poem) | Ellis | Poetry | Poetry | 12 | 1.38 | Jul 10, 2011 |
Summary:I just put this together as a parting poem. It took me all of thirty minutes to write. Wanted to leave you with a high note, literally. I will always be a part of the TNBW family. I have a daughter going through a crisis and for a short while I have to put the metaphors away. I will keep my pen filled with ink until we are reunited again. Thank you so much for not only welcoming me into your house, but allowing to walk on the red carpet as well. You are all my heroes...
This is not a great poem, but there is love between the lines.Chapters: |
 | Language Of Music | flowing pencil | Poetry | Poetry | 16 | 0.55 | May 25, 2011 |
Summary:My new husband and I love totally different music. He is a bass player of Jazz.. while I can enjoy it... he doesn't really embrace my simple need for 'gut reaction to music.'
Music has been my escape through abuse and sorrow. I live within music. He lives within correctness of music I think.
These are simply raw emotions I expressed after we both listened to some music. He wasn't stirred by mine and I was left wanting by his.

 | Within The Words | flowing pencil | Poetry | Memoir | 13 | 0.28 | Dec 11, 2010 |
Summary:Just something that came to me this morning. It isn't profound or anything nor was much thought put into this.
Again.. it is in my 'not' thinking that the words breathe
I love writing like this. It is effortless as in trying too hard.. I flounder and many times simply miss the mark
I hope this touches what I know lies within the hearts of most writers... before they too found this love of expressing in words and the utter freedom it gifts to the soulChapters: |

Summary:In Search of Mr. Wonderful, The Journey from Myth to Madness
Romance / Adult
To Invite Love, You Must Love Yourself First
Syvanna Lee knows what she wants—an everlasting love, her own “Mr. Wonderful.? Yet in her precarious quest to find such a man, she refuses to listen to the truth of her inner voice and ends up disappointed time and again. Each “Mr. Somebody? Syvanna becomes involved with opens a new chapter in her life. Each new relationship causes her to look at herself from a different perspective. Each new lover unveils previously unexplored facets of her own personality. She is ready for love, but will she ever realize that to give love, receive love, or even demand love, she must love herself first?
And if Syvanna would only take a moment to listen to her inner voice, she might learn an important truth. As the tale unfolds, an ominous secret from Syvanna’s childhood rises to the surface, a secret that may ultimately kill her.
In Search of Mr. Wonderful is a tale of heartbreak, self-destruction, desperation, and, ultimately, of transformation and discovery. Ms. Bouvier has written a novel of intense beauty and introspection that will stay with you long after you’ve turned the final page.
