Your expression,your countenance,I can read you.You’re a book, but let’s watch a film. Hushed, even, tranquil.Repetitive fluttering,the television lightens your face.Beaming, blinking, a quiet smile, indifferent. We’ll never speak enough,and we live in the bleakness,somehow comforted by shared sorrows.Your intrigue— Nothing and everything.You follow the broadcasted voices,but I wish you’d follow mine.Lounge clothes, or a […]
A breeze formulating, as soft as a cloth, you wipe away my tears, you settle my shaking bones. Out in the sun, ice cold sips of water, your hand warms my skin just the same. Laughter prances across the yard, we share the same smile. The grass beneath my bare feet; I’ll be home forever. Until a brisk night falls, we’ll share the shiny stories, the […]
I’ve gotten so used to digital clocks it often takes me a few seconds to read an analog clock on a wall. And by the time I’ve read it, the time I was trying to tell has passed, and now I am stuck trying to tell how much time has passed from then until now, […]

Ryan and I step into the elevator up to the rooftop, and I look into the mirror of lustrous metal. I admire his cleanly shaven face and the jeans he’s put on for the occasion. We’re hand in hand, my green and white satin dress gliding over my oiled legs, and I can’t help but […]
The young swallows flylike black ashes in the sky.Take no time for rest,for the skies they must infest.The birds fly into the evening. Dark clouds of dots danceon the horizon, they romance.The red sky retires,the night put out the fire.Of swallows I was dreaming.
A curve, a dip, a slope You are full of light, more than you truly know You may not look full, you may encompass darkness Yet you provide immense light You have a uniqueness, a dimness, that glows in a way no full moon could ever beam Someone could sit if they needed a rest […]
Rendered in colors blue and gold and sageOf water color, my fragile heart was made.Its pigments spread onto the ancient pageMade from the sturdy bark which aspens gave. It shifts, it changes every time it rains.The colors bleed and intertwine within.And when I weep, it further seeps and stains.Mostly it spreads. Grows wide, but it […]
The Devil and I walk side by side into the diner. We sit down at the counter, shoulders touching. I order coffee for the two of us from the girl behind the counter. She smiles sweetly and hands me two mugs. She doesn’t address the Devil beside me. The Devil and I go to the […]
You are an answered prayer.And I’m so happy that you’re here. I would make you paper starsUntil my fingers cramp up.Even then, I would tie them on a little string and hang them in your room. Because you are an answered prayer,And I’m so happy that you’re here.
