I tap-dance on egg-shells in my ballet shoes.
They whisper across the floor.
Omitting noise that might entice a temper.
I find a hide-a-way in a hole.
My heart, soul, and pen are
controlling the inner-chaos
with a key that empowers me.
Dedicated to those who have or who are in domestic violent relationships. You are not a victim, you are a warrior.
The imagery is striking, particularly the contrast between the delicate, careful movements—”tap-dance on egg-shells in my ballet shoes”—and the intense inner struggle and fear you describe.
Well said, I couldn’t agree more.
Thank u so much 🍀
Thank you my friend.

Heather Mirassou is a poet whose work explores themes of love, sensuality, nature, and the sacred beauty of being human. Her poetry is grounded in emotional honesty and embodied experience, honoring both tenderness and desire as essential expressions of the soul.
She writes from lived moments where passion intersects with vulnerability. Memory resides in the body, and love serves as both a healing force and an act of courageous presence. Through imagery rich with nature, intimacy, and reflection, her words invite readers to feel deeply and unapologetically.
Her debut poetry collection, The Sensual Soul Poet, is available in Kindle, paperback, and audiobook at Amazon.com.
