I Drink The Shadows

written by: Jose A. Tovar

The full moon is out
And my shadows abound.
Ancient phantoms they keep,
Arcane desires they seek.

If I drink the shadows
Will I contain them?
Or like a black hole
Will I implode?

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.
