We are always being told To have enormous dreams- though the endings to these fairy tales are rarely within reach. And when kids are left behind, they just "didn't give enough." Where everyone must be a star, the moons are giving up. But I’ve always been a fan of the softer glowing lights- I’ve always … Continue reading Thoughts on Grandiose Dreams

Come Down on Me
Come down on me, Like rain from the thunder clouds- Covering my sorrowed skin, Dripping from my gilded shrouds. Come down on me, Cleanse away my burning doubts- Extinguishing the flames of fear, Fueled by years of long-fought droughts. Come down on me, Clear the fog within my eyes. These cuffs that locked me in … Continue reading Come Down on Me
2000 Miles Away – Venting
Was it that easy? You came in with a promise to be hers, always. How can you be hers From 2000 miles away? Insisting, you do, That she’ll be fine without you. You’re there through a call. But you can’t hold her over the phone while tears fall, When she feels alone, Asking when dad’s … Continue reading 2000 Miles Away – Venting
A Haiku – 3
In visions of change, While trapped beneath a burden, are dreams spun to goals.

A Haiku – 1
Eyes gently open, As the dawn consumes her face. Good morning, beauty.

You're there in my eyes, Changing my mood- In all of these ways, I am consumed. Lost at your touch, Beneath the bright moon- In all of these ways I am consumed. Your breath in my lungs, A buckling swoon- In all of these ways, I am consumed A drop of my hand, We'll meet … Continue reading Consumed
On Fleeting Feelings of Love
When love embraces you, so that every inch of skin is awake and secure, do you question it’s reality? I do not mind where it’s from, only that it exists. Only that, in that moment, I am as alive and aware as I can ever be. Talk to me and feel it, Smile to let … Continue reading On Fleeting Feelings of Love
Fiery Eyes
Your eyes are alight in flames, blazing with life, and dancing as the girls In flowing red dresses Dance around Their words. I am trapped in them, Yearning for them to notice, To look at me, and give me worth. I nearly beg you, burn me into being! Melt from me an eternity of frosted … Continue reading Fiery Eyes
