Way before the sun rose,I looked out beyond the treesand the gray mist, soft and merciless,wrapped around everything.A quiet reminder that some absencesnever really leave,they just learn to settle in the cornersof our breath. I didn’t realize how much it would hurt.How much I would missthe feelings that […]
I was teetering on the velvet edge of sleep,a soft abyss calling me,like the last cookie in the jar at midnighttoo tempting, too inevitable. ThenA flicker.A ghost of a thought.A déjà vu that never had a first act. Who am I when I’m almost me but not quite?Where […]
In my dreams,I am always packing.Suitcases lined up like soldiers,zippered mouths strainingwith clothes I’ll never wearto places I never quite reach. I set out,but the road splinters into side streets,detours,barriers that flash like neon reminders:“Not today.”And so I stumble off-rampafter off-ramp,carrying too much,getting nowhere. The ghosts wait for […]
I sit in the stillness between two livesTwo windows, two eyes to the world.One looks forward with wanderlust pulsing,The other looks back with quiet knowing. The front window, a travelogue in fabric and light,Orange curtains parted like sunrises,Framing a blue seat, a launching padThe place I dream of […]

Rain taps at the shutterslike a memoryI haven’t quite made yet.The kind that lives in muscle and moodbefore it ever finds words. The leaves sway lush, green,resilient […]
The little flowers try to bloom, Beneath a sky of wintry gloom. Their fragile stems, so brave and bold, Stretch toward the light, defying cold. The frost, it clings with icy grip, A crystal veil on petal’s tip. They shiver softly, roots dug deep, Dreaming of spring’s warmth […]
Sitting in a vat of trauma, I soak in memories etched deep, The echoes of a thousand cries, Breaking through the walls of sleep. Walking in the footsteps of pain, Each step heavier than the last, The path is worn, the ground is hard, By the burdens of […]
What makes you feel nostalgic? January comes with whispered hope, A fresh start, they say, a clean slate. But I’ve learned that baggage has wheels— It rolls right along, not caring for dates. The trees are bare, their arms outstretched, Yet they hold no answers in the cold. […]
The leaves tumble down, Another season passing, but where are you now? Your laughter once echoed in these walls, Now it’s just silence that answers the calls. Your favorite things—long gone, misplaced, Like shadows of a life we can no longer trace. The grief is here, sharp and […]
