via Daily Prompt: Facade I stare into the mirror my face bare to the world. My eyes tired, my lips neutral, my expression blank, uncaring. The façade that I wear everyday washed away so easily with water, revealing a woman I barely recognize. A woman who hides her pain behind a well rehearsed smile cheerful …

Agree to Disagree – Daily Prompt: Disagree
via Daily Prompt: Disagree "You're an idiot." "What do you mean? I did everything I was suppose to do. Why is that wrong?" "Because you don't agree with the procedure. You think it's wrong, so why do it that way? Why not do it the way you know is right?" "Just because I disagree with …
The Joys of Editing
Editing. Such a lovely pastime.....not. I know I've written about this before. A lot of the times there are gaps in my posting, whether blog, poem or story, it's because I'm not sure I've written about the subject before and I don't necessarily want to repeat myself. This particular subject, probably because I'm in the …
While I Write – prompt 2.3
Normally when I write for a prompt I don't read anyone else's response until I'm done with mine. That way what I write is not influenced by others. This time I accidentally read an answer by Joe Hesch to Sharyl Fuller's Writing Outside the Lines prompt 2.3, which I didn't realize until the end. What …
Daily Prompt: Miniature
via Daily Prompt: Miniature The rocking horse flew through the air, buzzing, neighing, doing loop-de-loops. Not a care in the world.

Love’s Sacrifice – part 12
I walk into darkness away from the light. The memory of you once beautiful and bright, fades with every step taken into the night. I am no longer my own, my master I must obey. The God's have forsaken me, Hell is my home, my debt to pay. There is no one to save me. …
Lost – writing prompt 2.2
Paper thin tattered around the edges. The straight and true float in the breeze unaware of dangers, the mighty are pleased. Misty sails break free of the night. The dawn brings peril, we fight at twilight. Bring home our sailors, the far away plead. Don’t leave us stranded we beg of thee. Days turn into …
Love’s Sacrifice – part 11
Foolish child you play a game you have no hope of winning. I will own you. Your mind, your body, your soul. You have given me everything, and received nothing. And for what? Love perceived from demon spawned? How pathetic. How splendidly naive. As for you my faithless pawn, freedom is yours. Though earned it …
Love’s Sacrifice – part 10
I do not care his sins. They have no hold over me, nor will they have any hold over him. I choose him. To hold him, love him, free him. Take your token, keep your promise. I chose to embrace darkness so he can see the light within. Copyright 2016 Heidi Barnes This is a poem/story …
