The lonesome travelerWith only his pack to tie him to the earthSees the tracks of those who came beforeYet decides to turn the opposite wayHe carves his footprints into the landThe same way the bear digs his claws into the barkI own this landEach step says He knows not of this worldOf the grasses that […]
The first sip,I drink in solace.Piping hot,sweet cream, coats my throat. The mug burns,there’s a slight bitterness.It’s only real,it’s only fresh, plain, how it’s supposed to be. To wake up to the warmth,every season passes like winded clouds,across the sky,I clutch my cup, stare out the window with wonder. The liquid feels like music,thrumming through […]
Sun melts to skyBowing downBleeding her orangeEnding a day of shine Can life’s decline be as beautifulSink back from which we cameBorn tall, forced to shrink Watch one person fade to nightSadly over, but glimmering in ripplesStars remind us of the sky’s refusal to cease I will trace constellations how I trace our memoriesPainting the […]
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 […]
