I live in a housefull of heartbeat and voices,laughter ricocheting off walls,footsteps tapping rhythms up and down stairs. And yetthere are nightswhen the noise dissolvesand I am alonein a room packed with people. It’s strange, right?To feel invisiblewhile standing center stagein your own life. Pain has a way […]
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 […]

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 […]
The first crack of thundersends one dog scurryingtiny paws, frantic heart,vanishing beneath the coverslike a secret we pretend not to keep. 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 […]
Which slice of me will you get today? Will you catch the breeze or the blaze?Will I simmer or will I scorch?Will I laugh mid-sentence or pause long enough to make you squirm?I don’t always know myself which version will slip out first. Maybe today, I’m a little […]
There are moments when the shadows of the past feel heavier than the steps I’m trying to take forward. Moments when the echoes of those who doubted, dismissed, or even hoped for my downfall whisper a little too loudly in my mind. But here’s the truth I know […]
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 […]
