Keelie Breanna QUOTES

1 " Fruition-
Think of writing as a harvest.
You till the ground.
Plant.
Water.
Wait.
Apple trees take years to bear fruit.
Harvest.
Clean.
Process.
Then you have apple pie. "

― Keelie Breanna

2 " Release-
For years
they told you to
sit.
Stay.

Now they open the door
and tell you to
get up.
Leave.

Where do you go
with no one
to show you
the way? "

― Keelie Breanna

3 " Choice-
Judgement.
Black coffee acid
on an empty stomach.

Perception.
Cool, clear water. "

― Keelie Breanna

4 " The Pressure-
Maybe one day,
after centuries,
we can become brilliant gems
in crystal caves
and we will be immortal after all. "

― Keelie Breanna

5 " Etched In Bone-
At night I engrave my bones with poems.
Scratching.
Carving.
Etching.
During the day I feel every notch and ridge
hidden inside me.
I repeat them to myself.
In time others will read them too
and know me. "

― Keelie Breanna

6 " I adored your fluttering touches
and effervescent kisses
nestled among great roots.
The sunlight dappling your shoulders.
Vines curling in your hair.
Our cheeks burning.
Wandering through hidden places.
A secret love skirting the shadows.
The water and wind sang for us.
The trees danced with us.
The beetles whispered their blessings.

We ate the plump wild-berries.
I soon found my mouth bitter
and stained.
Your petal-soft love
turned to thorns.
The mist faded in the bright morning
but left me cold and damp.
The mossy ground charred.
My lips starved and bleeding. "
