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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
