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 […]
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 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 […]

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.
One year ago today I was 3,306 miles away from home. I initially chose to go abroad to London because I wanted to travel the world and explore a Culture I wasn’t too familiar with. I left home with no knowledge of what the next four months were going to be. I remember the car […]
This time of year is always a bit funny to me. Just when the professors think they can slip us one more assignment, We cram for finals. The days of this month that used to be spent putting up lights, listening to music on the record, and picking out the perfect tree— Are now just […]
I pull my knit sweater over my head, The soft green fabric kissing my skin, Simultaneously tugging at my curls, Peering over my shoulders curiously as I debate: jeans or leggings? My sweater embraces me, Gently reminding me of rainy days, Days Dad and I would sit indoors, Eyes eagerly scanning a puzzle as we […]
