Broken pieces shattered, From the stained glass masterpiece we once were. The smallest piece resting where we owe our meeting, Hundreds of others wandering past. Two others hidden away at a gem of the East side, Sparkling in the cosmic light of our hide away. Several tucked into the cushions of your couch, Lost in […]
Blood Runs Heavy
My grip on the wheel slipped. The car spun out of control as the night pressed in like bruising hands. The hollowness in my chest expanded. Hate bled to hurt then to heavy. Heavy, like my foot on the pedal, out of control, reckless. Dangerous, dark, daunting, ready to succumb. Lead filled my limb, […]
Growing
I am a gardener Planting seeds everyday Growing love for myself In many different ways
Constellations
I see the Milky Way in your eyes and when you smile I cannot help but think of the brightest star in the sky. Your laughter is as magical as the sound of the ocean as it’s being pulled into shore by the moon each night. Oh, those freckles are constellations across your face […]

With her bright red lipstick, scrunched brown hair, and happiness apparent in her light blue eyes. Her personality is splattered across the photo. The light in her eyes, and her soul, is undeniable. But now, her […]
Smile
The chair was plush against her rear as she sat. Its pillowed back soft along clenched muscles. Sinewy arms trail from an oblique chest, the mirror an offensive reminder of the doll on the other-side. The reflection pictured cherry tainted cheeks marred by grooves of hilarity. The supple flesh curdled lightly with the separation […]

Waves
I like to go by the water To think To watch the waves Rather than sink The sky so blue And a little pink Makes it easier Not to think
