  A New Year...New Beginnings
The old year fades away
The new year creeps in
Old habits...haunt
New habits....unborn
Breathe new life
To a withered and lonely existence
Rebirth acknowledged
Desired..absolute
Shake off yesterday's woes
Begin searching for what once was
Only now...stronger...renewed
Pregnant anticipation
Days unchartered...lay ahead
Inhale what was once asphyxiated
Expand to new horizons
Growing in spirit..left alone
One is stronger...if
Two are unequally yoked
Regain old insight..beliefs
Emerge a new soul..freed
Heart of gold.tarnished
Standing alone..offspring by my side
Mend lost acquaintances
Join a viscious circle
Passions burst free
Long hidden in shame
Lustful....wanton
A woman..her birthright..her destiny
Taking back what is rightfully mine
Never to be given in vain again.....
