You kiss my lips
I tremble down deep
I can feel my heart pumping
With every touch I burn
I’m trapped with no way out

I wrote a poem in collaboration with the talented poet Ben Dirmars.

The poem is inspired by a beautiful sunset picture,

taken by the amazing Kim Stapf.

Theirs is sky above the trees

And we are lost below

The crimson failure

With a tangerine and blue indifference

~

Molten lava runs through our veins

While we gaze upon the liquid gold

That runs across the celestial sphere

As we try and find our way through life

~

Into a new horizon

Blanketed with clouds

And silhouettes of us

Entwined as scoria

~

With scarlet dreams

We enter the night

A new beginning

Of hushed whispers

The Chocolate Book Tag Challenge

I’ve been invited to join The Chocolate Book Tag Challenge by the lovely author Maria Savva. You can find her post here https://www.goodreads.com/author_blog_posts/6345038-the-chocolate-book-tag-challenge Thank you for tagging me, Maria! J

Books and chocolate goes hand in hand in my opinion. Anyone that knows me know that I’m utterly addicted to both chocolate and books and I do not intent to give up any of those addictions.

The rules are that you should choose between 6-8 chocolate bars or types of chocolate and link them to books you think they might be a good accompaniment for.

Dark chocolate with chili:

Perspectives by Maria Savva, Dacia Helle and photographer Martin David Porter is definitely like dark chocolate with chili. The stories start out like sweet dark chocolate and then suddenly the bite of the chili appears.

Yummy!

Swiss Chocolate truffles:

Charity Parkersons A Secure Heart

These four stories in one book makes me think of chocolate truffles from Switzerland. They draw you in and doesn’t let go until the bowl is empty…ups…I mean until the book is finished.

Each a decadent bite of bliss.

Ben Ditmars Night Poems was one of the first poetry books I have ever read.

I devoured the book of darkness, love and hope the same way I devour those delicious licorice chocolate spheres.

Kinder bonbon:

The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis

This book is one of my favorite books of all time and I vividly remember reading it while eating those delicious kinder bonbons. It will forever be a piece of my childhood that I often return to.

Harry Potter 1-7

I couldn’t just choose one Harry Potter book, so I simply chose them all, which led me to choose mixed Summerbird chocolate. There is darkness, sweetness, bitterness, power, fluffy fun, champange love and surprises around every corner.

Creativity among the pages! My review of “Savage Rose” by Helle Gade

Check out the first review of Savage Rose. It’s so beautiful!

Purplerose123's Blog

This author is rocking the poetry world with her Third work of art! Literally! The cover draws you in from the start. From her first words you can’t help but want more, I like the length of the books as it gives you just enough to keep you wanting another from this author. Every book she gives her heart and soul, always leaving everything she’s got in her. You see that in every poem, taste the words, feel the pain and the love she has for friends and family. The photography tells the same story as she painstakingly picks a picture that she herself shot to go with her beautiful words. This poet isn’t afraid of telling her story, of letting us into her world,in her realm of creativity with words and pictures she tells her story. I personally can’t get enough of her work. I totally recommend the beautiful…
