About this ebook
ECILA
She woke up from a coma almost 9 years ago with a burning desire to write. This was her gift from God. An arsonist set her bedroom door on fire and trapped her inside to die but her Guardian Angel blanketed her with her wings and saved her from getting burned alive. She died several times during her ordeal and spent four thousand years with God. She is still in therapy for the PTSD, agoraphobia, anxiety and depression that developed from the fire. Most of her time is spent writing poetry and a novel about her experience during and after the fire. It is her hope that her writing will reach out to people, help them see that nothing can break you if you have the will to survive and have God in your heart. You're never alone and the price of life is too precious to give up so easily. She lost everything precious to her in the fire and realized those were material things. She still had her life and rebuilt a new foundation. From the ashes came a new person and more spiritual spirit. She prays that somewhere in her writing you will relate to the love, passion, fantasies, memories, loss, grief and spirituality that she has written in her own poetic style. She lives in the beautiful state of West Virginia with her fiance. She has four beautiful daughters, three granddaughters, and one grandson. Her ma has always been her inspiration with all her spunk and beauty. She is an honest and down to earth country girl from a large family hoping to help people with her writing that comes straight from her heart. If one, she would be happy; if more, that would be even better. www.ecilabooks.com - ecilabooks@yahoo.com

This book is dedicated to the love of my life:
Brian
The one who turned my darkness into light
Turned my nights into ecstasy
My demons into dust bunnies
Made walking in thunder and lightning downpours enjoyably funny
Made me want to live again
Put the extra beat in my heart
Brought passion back into my life
He is my heart and soul
I love you,
Baby
I want nothing more than
Eternity with you

I Feel Your Heat
black.jpgI feel your heat
You lying next to me
On the cool cotton sheets
The night air on my bare skin
I feel your heat
I feel your heat
I feel your heat
The heaviness of your breathing
The lightness of your hand on my thigh
The moonlight shining through the open window
I feel your heat
I feel your heat
I feel your heat
The whisper of soft words in my ear
Our feet touching at the bottom of the bed
The loudness of your heart pounding in your chest
I feel your heat
I feel your heat
I feel your heat
The brightness of your eyes moving over my bare skin
Our bodies slightly touching at intimate
