Evocative in my fantasies
Invading what should’ve been a peaceful rest

But we both know
Rest is nonexistent when it comes to iced silver eyes
Without a hint of love

Frozen in time
Deprived of hope

Lost forever is optimism or happiness
clutching the smallest amount of control
for resistance has fled

Neither villain nor collaborator
non-judgmental and uncaring

Or perhaps it’s unfeeling
Incapable of evoking emotion
even if circumstance warranted

Roams liberally surrendering to no master
as his released freely long ago

Without restraint unresolved future
to no end
or conceivably the end

 

 

 

 

Author Bio

1959479_10204009111007514_3853066978835664161_nThank you for dropping by the inquisitive domain of Shell Ochsner. Please feel free to look around and if there is anything she can do for you, please don’t hesitate to let her know.

Since memory serves, there has been a pen or pencil in Shell’s hand as she composed thoughts, ideas, and dreams. Growing up in a small farming community, she yearned for adventure that wasn’t accessible in a place surrounded by wheat fields as far as the eye could see. Subsequently, she read and fell in love with books.

Reading made it possible to travel to far away lands, different time periods, and alternate realities. Those escapades that’d been unveiled, fashioned a longing for her to write.

Shell writes for magazines and blogs. Her articles are published in a number of magazines including Meridian Life Magazine. She’s written copy for Todayz Publishing Idaho Hunting & Fishing Guide, creates resume’s and cover letters for clients, and ghost writes diversified essay’s.

As an author and a poet, Shell creates captivating short stories and eloquent poems. She participated in this year’s 2014, NaPoWriMo challenge and discovered a hidden talent for poetry. Nearly tripling the traffic to her blog, she now composes poetry.

Her work includes, but not limited to:

  • Features with reference to extraordinary people and businesses
  • Adventures for the family
  • Historical expositions’
  • Educational editorials of health, nutrition, beauty, and travel
  • Short stories
  • Write copy advertorial for hotels, restaurants, campsites, recreational parks, museums, historical landmarks, and clubs.

November 1st, 2014 Shell participated in NaNoWriMo’s 50,000 words in 30 days. Beneath The Weeping Creeper is her début novel.

“I’m a true realist who has learned no matter what you may want in life, you must work for it. Nothing in this world comes easy or cheap. Nonetheless, if you want it bad enough it’s all worth the effort.” ~ Shell Ochsner
