Passerby – June 12, 2023

The dark is never far behind And I can only crack the door The light’s warm glow on my cheeks Never enough to submerge all of my thoughts And my feelings of inadequacy Each molded into a distorted shape That I barely recognize in the morning Retaining a love and laughter That takes cover from … Continue reading Passerby – June 12, 2023 →

Words and You – May 18, 2023

Lost in these words Tiptoeing through my lips Spilled in the dark I can’t even see your eyes Kindness evades Everything I know It’s not me Losing you Surging toward air Up against a warm brick wall Scraping layers of my life Left behind Loving you

“One day, I watched the sun setting forty-four times......You know...when one is so terribly sad, one loves sunsets.” -The Little Prince I came across this quote from The Little Prince, and I cannot stop thinking about how much the sky has always spoken to me…I went back and counted all of the sunset pictures I … Continue reading March 2, 2023 →

Stripped Down – January 19, 2023

The light twinkles In a reflection Of all the things I have been and want to be It’s lonely looking out the door Once you’ve decided to leave Walking over the ashes Of everything that stood in the way Spitting and thrashing Hating it all Really hating it all Pounding Always in the same spot … Continue reading Stripped Down – January 19, 2023 →

Let it Go Off on a Breeze – January 5, 2023

The hush of grief Can be found in the sorrow The dichotomy Of a loneliness Everybody touches Waiting in-between moments To be recognized Remembered The little things dropping away Melting into feelings Resurfacing Where everything dances I mean absolutely everything When I start to see it… I open my eyes And Let it go off … Continue reading Let it Go Off on a Breeze – January 5, 2023 →

Talking to you…Antihistamine 11/4/22

I have a lot of time, on days like today. My eyes get blurry and unfocused when they have to pump me full of medicine to stop the reaction from the other medicine. So, I annoyingly drift between sleep and awake. Seven hours to be exact. The nurse that visits when the pump needs to … Continue reading Talking to you…Antihistamine 11/4/22 →

Incognito – September 12, 2022

I had become Incognito To myself For so long The strands of my hair No longer curled in any direction Convincing me of all the things and thoughts I did not need Or want Or care about Not knowing myself good enough To realize a touch That burned My faltered ego And left me speechless … Continue reading Incognito – September 12, 2022 →

Oblivion – July 7, 2022

I left you standing By the house Where I took your clothes And made sure They burned Letting my own Fall ragged Until their seams Tattered And frayed Lost In a failed American Gothic Grounded somewhere On a planet Far, far away

Opus – August 17, 2022

The little fragments of moments When a thought creeps in Is usually when it hits the hardest. On levels you’ll never understand But you could… If maybe, you opened your mind But we’ve been through this a thousand other times And yet, you decide to put me in my place Where I’ve always stayed But … Continue reading Opus – August 17, 2022 →

Verklempt – June 6, 2022

Writing is hard right now I don’t want to share my feelings And gosh, my thoughts I don’t know why it’s so hard sometimes And so easy others I feel this invisible barricade Or it flows so freely All I know is The difference Feels the same in my gut

Smile – April 22, 2022

I lay in bed In the twilight Before one is fully awake That is when I seem to remember my dreams I told you some things Some things About numbers And you seemed to take me seriously But I haven’t heard from you since And you had nothing more to say Your smile was pretty … Continue reading Smile – April 22, 2022 →

RunAway – April 20, 2022

I’ve Noticed They run away Scatter Blow like leaves Schools of fish Disturbed By a single pebble I don’t have to speak Just an essence And run away bicycles Feet flying off peddles It is not easy To live in a land Where you flutter away
