Finding Peace
She bleeds diamonds, and the world knows it... They line up with their knives dressed up like roses. A kiss on the wrist; she's losing her mind, She lets them into her heart and they bleed her dry.With buckets loaded, they notice her cries and the sapphires tumbling down from her eyes. Greed consumes; they … Continue reading Beautiful
How overwhelming this feeling of loss returned That it crumbles walls fortified by years of rage and leaves only soft sand in its wake. What is this you’ve done? Why am I naked and bare in soul, craving your attention as I did the first day we met? With your laughter, I am small and … Continue reading Foundations
Do you remember the stories of the light tower that burned when sailors returned? In those days, the sea was not feared but honored, and every voyage was both a farewell and a promise. We believed the ocean took much from us—but we would later learn it also remembers.
Come to me my sad, sad childWith your tears overwhelming your eyes.You've taught yourself through all this timeto quiet down your cries.To wipe your tears, and hug your chest,And sob into your lips.Let loose yourself in mournful callsbut never lose your grip. Come to me my sweet, sweet child-let me hold you and kiss you … Continue reading Surrender
There’s a rhythm now,in the way we movea quiet call and responseas natural as breath,shared between us in every momentas we compose our song together. Your hand finds mineand the chorus kicks inSometimes a big band number, sometimes a gentle symphony,depending on the context of our heartsand the surrounding notes of our lives I feel … Continue reading Our Song
Through endless night, the wind does wail,A knight rides on, his heart grown frail.His soul in tatters, his body worn,Yearning for the touch he once adored.Her voice, a whisper, soft and near,Yet in the shadows, she disappears. For years he's wandered, blind with desire,A king without a crown, lost in fire.Chasing her warmth, her scent, … Continue reading The Hollow Crown
How those fingers stroke my cheek,So lovingly.Without a need to strike or reach-No plan to pinch or scratch.That subtle skin to skin contact,Filled with desire, anticipation, and communication.I crave it in the evenings,While sleeping alone,feeling around the cold side of the mattress for home. I crave it in the monotonous tone of my workday,while responsibilities … Continue reading Stroke my Cheek
How you warm my heart like the sun warms the Earth; waking my feelings like the songs of the birds. What I wouldn't give for one morning's ride on a gentle little journey deep in your eyes
The words sit in my chest like a lead weight,pulling my lungs so close, I’m gasping for air.The betrayal wells behind my eyes,and my throats aches with the effort of maintaining control. My thoughts go wild with confirmation bias,noting every moment and every action that proves what I’m too scared to say.Guilt and shame raise … Continue reading I Don’t Trust You, Anymore
For so long, I knew only a kind of seasonal love - one where stormy tempers coated our vibrant branches in ice, suffocating the leaves and petals yearning to thrive. My roots lay frozen, sealed in a harsh grip of cold, waiting for the sporadic warmth of spring to allow for a fleeting kiss. Each … Continue reading Welcome, Spring
