In his kiss, I am bewitched. All of my thoughts escape me, and my mind is free to wander into a future where love is gentle and patient. Where he and I are only he and I, with little to no concern that another should, would, or could interrupt us at any moment. A world … Continue reading Made for Him

I keep this blog as an archive for poems, thoughts, short stories. I've written for so long, and I don't want to lose anymore of my words to time. This is my little safety deposit box, and if these writings inspire, touch, relate to, or otherwise entertain another, I'm happy to share them.
Love Wanted Ad
I don't need perfect or even close, just someone who seems to knows me without being told. I'm looking for someone with a slight nerd streak, who can roll a die, tap a card, or watch a show with Me, and knows what FMA, AoT, or AtLA means. Someone good with a grill, a compliment … Continue reading Love Wanted Ad
Title TBD
My nightmares start as something so sweet, Something so beautiful, something so free We were everything we'd ever need To reach anything that we could be... - - Then the snakes came out, and I couldn't see, The glass on my path, slicing up my feet. I danced for you while you laughed at me, … Continue reading Title TBD
No title…
I still linger at the crossroads, Wishing I could follow... Did we have to go our separate ways? If I'd loved your laugh a little harder, Kissed your lips a little longer, Would we have gone our separate ways? I know where I am, but I'm lost all the same... Waiting for you to call … Continue reading No title…

Umi’s Nightmare
My 10+ year gaming character was going through some major stress. I'm storing the write-up here for safe keeping <3____ Umi wakes to a scorching sun threatening to set her skin on fire. With her throat too parched to speak, she stands and realizes she’s in the middle of a dune-riddled desert. The sand grabs … Continue reading Umi’s Nightmare
Coming Home
I've started over before- Many times; this time, though, I am ready. We open the door to my new, downtown apartment (void of furniture but filled with possibilities), and immediately start to plan. Ideas echo in the air as we run up and down the stairs, excited about every inch of empty space."This will be … Continue reading Coming Home
No Title
I wish I could shed my skin and my mind. I wish I could reprogram the wires crossed in my brain with a special code that will make me the person I want others to see. They always say tomorrow is a new day, A new start, a new opportunity to do right.. But the … Continue reading No Title
Finally Free
Alone, but resolute, I stand tall, No longer enduring emotional squall. Gone are the pretense, finished are the games, No longer seeking logic amidst torturous flames. No more disdain for my weakest of nightsNo more targeted blame, no more endless fights. Unapologetically me, I claim liberty, No longer shackled by another's authority. Scars and charms, … Continue reading Finally Free
I let you be real, today.
By that, I mean I talked about the real us. Prompted by a vivid, painful dream, I released everything I could about all the reasons we fell in love, and how it happened. I talked about the support, and the connection. I talked about the strength, and how you pushed me to work on my … Continue reading I let you be real, today.
