Fractured

written by: Tissy Taylor

@raisingtissy

Pieces unfitted strewn
across a carpet bare
Shattered heartbeats fragile
worn with frightening care

Unwashed deliverance
beneath a godly stare
Emptied sins like crimson
stations, buyers beware

Sifted madness fleeting
with nary stream or fare
Orphaned conscience taking
sanity from our wares

Flight into dark shadows
naked this cross to bear
Unsettled wings soaring
like leadened wreaths despaired

Spotlight On Writers - Julia R. DeStefano

Julia R. DeStefano is a Red Queen who wears many hats but one crown. A confessional poet, she captures moments and preserves them in the glistening amber of language. She also believes in the penning of Paradise into existence through powerful verse. Julia is a woman driven by love and healed by intimacy who uses imagery to paint vivid pictures of darkness and sensuality. Julia believes that the most challenging things in life are those that ultimately end up being the most worth it; that to be loved well is to have won at life; and that the heart will never, ever lead the head astray. Look for Julia atop her throne of books.
