“The One Who Moves Me by Stewart Stafford
Her caress and laughter,
Cast out the darkness,
And lull the choppy waters,
Her embrace, a flowering meadow.
Her absence stills the earth,
Cracked ice on a frozen lake,
Asphyxiating silence descends,
The Faustian poker of loneliness.
Lexicons filled with her silences,
Seismic shifts of stinging rage,
She, in naked imperfection as I,
Together, reuniting in shelter.

“We keep you safe,” he said, kissing the top of my head.
I didn't understand everything that was going on in this strange town. I
had no idea if the picture he'd drawn would really come true. But I knew he
wouldn't lie to me. And I knew that he would be there for me. Some wall
between us had come crashing down.
There in his arms, I felt safer than I ever dreamed I could.”

“She got herself a cup of coffee and watched the setting sun from the corner of her eyes leaning against his back. The diamond ring shone in her navel like a chandelier of hope.”

“Respect, Love, and Value yourself. Always remember to be good to yourself by taking care of yourself. Make yourself a priority and know that it’s okay. Don’t feel guilty for loving yourself, first! You’re just as important as anybody else.”
“I just invented a way to put the smooth sounds of a saxophone directly into a trumpet—with little or minimal rusting. When you listen to my music, just close your eyes, because your mind is about to take a romantic trip—inside of a mental elevator.”
