why write?

I have to write what I hear in my head, what I dream in my sleep, what my bones ache to express.

My poems tell stories of strength, love, regret, disobedience, loss, hope, redemption, and whatever whispers.

—Cindy B. Stevens

Today is my wedding anniversary, so, I’ll share five lines from “your convert”, a poem of passion:



my fountain paints it’s frigid fingers

my spine vibrates tarnish

you heat paint my skin

I thieve your fire

I’m your convert
