Tremors

By Mac Guerreiro My hands are shaking, Eye have a feeling they’ve been shaking all day, My heart is racing, Maybe it’s been this way, Maybe eye just didn’t notice, A “ball of anxiety” That started as joke, But the truth of it set in the more eye spoke, Eye’m already a whirlwind internally, Though …

Easy

Sweeter Things

By Mac Guerreiro Before eye knew it he woke me. Eye’ve hardly experienced sweeter moments than falling asleep while his fingers ran gently through my hair.
