all we gave up if we go

Daily Drivel – Idiot
So, today’s drabble is called Idiot purely because I am one; the random word I got this morning was innocent but my brain decided it was oblivious instead. Which I didn’t realised until I’d written it. Ooops?
Two mousemats, a pendrive, a pack of those individually wrapped screenwipes Phil always forgets he has in the back of a drawer. None of these he’s really needed, though are the reasonable excuses Phil has come up with to go into the shop.
The first mousemat was genuine, soake...

Sure Would Be Something
It sure would be something to have somebody stay,
When I could be more than a passing moment for them.
If I could just be enough for them to not walk away.
I know I’m too much for even feeling this way,
But I’ve been lonely, and empty, and then some.
It sure would be something to have somebody stay.
It’s not that I’m alone; not really. I just hope someday
I’ll have someone who’s excited for me to come home.
If I could just be enough for them to not walk away.
When the world’s gone to hell...
Daily Drivel – Hopeless
Hello! Today I went with five random words: day, direct, elect, effort, and ignorance. This thing basically wrote itself!
Every day is a direct reminder
That no matter the efforts of sane,
Rational,
Qualified voices,
Those with ignorance
Will still choose to elect a figure
Whose only interest is in perpetual personal gain.

I Am You, And You Are Me
The crackle of the record player with every spin of the disc hissing in the background, the muted orange lighting that bathes skin with a night time glow. Socked toes, catching on the tug of the cream carpet pile with every turn, the brush of cotton beneath fingertips, the feel of fingers spread low around a waist.
Soft hair from a bent head brushing over an already bare shoulder. Shirt buttons against skin with every exhale. Breath, calm, steadier than the heart thudding beneath bare chest a...
At Three In The Morning
A little prequel to the upcoming book Raife and Dexter Are Getting Married.
Okay. So how the hell is he getting out of this without both revealing himself and making, potentially, the biggest mess he has ever made? At least in this room. Was it even worth it? All this sneaking around at three in the morning because of an urge he just couldn’t control? Dexter can’t even remember enjoying it at the time now, even though that time was barely a few seconds ago and the taste is still in hi...

This
Look. There is no easy way to say this.
This devouring need; I can’t downplay this.
You’re in me, deep; I need you closer still.
Where you end, I begin. Can’t betray this.
Look at you. You steal my breath, you make me
Ache with want. A wick that won’t burn away? This.
I need you. I am consumed by your love
Anyway, so have me. Don’t delay this.
You fill me, and engulf me. So take all
Of me, E. I am yours. Every day. This.

A Restless Heart
Chapter 23
“It’s okay,” Xavier urged softly. Tyler held his breath waiting for Mati to speak again.
“By the time I got back from volunteering, I’d told myself I’d come to terms with Owen’s… passing,” Mati said, dropping her gaze to her lap. “His family still wouldn’t speak to me, and as much as I wanted to at least know where his grave was so that I could visit—lay some flowers… say sorry—I didn’t know anything at all. I told myself I was angry, and over it, and tha...
