Long, slow kiss in the sun to make us
Open to more life, a poem
Void of pain; lust; envy; vice, just soft and home.
Each day new ways to show and say, “I love you.”

The Evolution of LGBT Portrayal in TV and Film
Happy Pride Month, all! I love Pride Month and everything that comes with it; the celebration, the festivities, the prestige. Pride Month is the ultimate beacon of positivity. Now sadly, there are a bunch of people in society who aren't really crazy about Pride Month and have their things to say against it. To those people, I'll only say this. There's a special place reserved for people who are against Pride Month. I'm too much of a gentleman to say it here, but I'll give a few hints: it rhymes with "bell," and I'm not talking about the city in Michigan.

Can't get enough of short and powerful poems.
Great words, love this
Beautiful! Love this, Stephanie 💕🙂
Oh yes! That’s love. That’s what I want. Beautifully stated. 👏🏼
Short and sweet. Hi steph. Gone are the days of simplicity and innocence, when one wrote the poems and stories for the love of it, and not having to pit everyone and everything against each other. I feel lost in the translation of the thing I once loved to do so much. The rat race is making me a bit sad. But changes are a part of existence. I hope you are doing well my friend. Just musing on the rumbles and motions of time. Be well.
Beautiful Stephanie
