Lost within a memory I won’t let myself forget, Like the face of a newborn child Or that of my first regret. It finds me all alone, Gone to the gallows of night; And I ponder, stare, commiserate How something could be so right… Staring back into my soul With jewels of bourbon silk, Fingers … Continue reading Something In-between
Fading
And the world moved around her In a way she could not follow The beings spoke The children laughed And she sat Under the darkest light Trying to exist But fading
A Rose in Death
A rose smells its sweetest while death takes it’s toll as leaves dry and rot, it grows more powerful. I wonder, will we shine Once our time has come to pass? Reminiscing on our death, With questions we won’t ask- Will the world smile on us, so the wind can carry our scent? Will we … Continue reading A Rose in Death
Another Test

Breath
Did you catch your breath? Mine is somewhere far away Trapped in a world Where we never met.
On Writer’s Block
I feel it, at the tips of my mind Like stars that shine for billions of years Before bursting to dust and leaving the darkness behind for us to wander through Without any idea where we’re going, Only knowing that we need to be somewhere and we need to be there soon. A story that … Continue reading On Writer’s Block
A Good Day Fades
A good day fades, disappears until we’re left with nothing But the ragged edges of a memory to tell us we were happy. Are those memories alive In you? Or did they fade, too, Like the June gloom that settled into those brilliant mornings where we cuddled in bed, when you were the one I … Continue reading A Good Day Fades
