Some Stories Don’t Need an Ending
It’s strange, isn’t it?
How someone can live in your heart for years,
Without even realizing it.
I wasn’t looking for a fairytale.
I wasn’t expecting fireworks,
Or a dramatic confession under the rain.
All I ever wanted…
Was to matter to you.
To have a place in your life
That felt a little more permanent.
But here we are.
After all this time,
You look at...

Its exterior is very thin and you need
A giant telescope to document all...

Inherited ChainsI remember wishing for her happiness,
for if she smiled, all would be fine.
She was a tempest,
a storm of anger, sadness, and despair,
Allowing the darkness to consume her,
an abyss too deep to repair.
She let the shadows dictate her life,
Surrendered to the pain and grief
Her laughter was a distant memory,...

MotherI was young when my dad left;
each day was a burden on its own.
Before he left, he and my mom would always quarrel,
and I saw her tears—like rivers flowing from her eyes.
The burden of motherhood caught up with her—
yet through love, even though her heart shimmered,
she stood by our side.
I remember how, in the streets...

DAILY GRATITUDE CHILDHOOD INNOCENCE
Today I’m grateful that no matter how much I age
as I continue to sing…even if a little off-key…
a little bit of my childhood innocence
sings along with me.

My Sibling Sister and Friend Without SpiteMy sibling sister and friend without spite
or rivalry, I loved beyond compare;
Athena-like and lovely as the night,
your soul, a brilliant flame that burned with flair,
gave light to me and soothed my manic fears;
maternal saint and healer, you alone
have cared for...

Night FlightI’ll tell a secret just to you,
a fantasy that’s really true.
My bed can fly through time and space.
It takes me to every happy place.
In darkness, I but close my eyes,
and soon we’re flying through the...

MY BEAUTIFUL LIFE OF LIESI was living with my family,
And was a happy child.
My Father helped me grew up,
To live a struggling life...
Messy hairs with darks
around my faces,
Everyday I woke up
with tears in my eyes...
Pictures of my journey might look
so colorful and bright,
Darling you call it beautiful,
I call it Black and White...
My Mother makes me count,
Every year that passes...

A BrotherI think I hear whispers floating through my mind,
It's the voice of someone I held dear-
I remember the days when games were the only stress there.
Opposite balconies facing each other,
Extending hands to see if we could hold together ,
We bonded over shared toys, origami papers and roaring laughter.
We played during every holiday as we grew,
Sometimes...

Ode to my brown bearYou were there
before memory.
Before voices had names,
before light had meaning
you were there.
Brown as warm bread,
soft as a breath held in sleep,
you waited.
And I held you.
You were there.
Through the quiet nights
where shadows danced on walls
and thunder cracked the sky like glass
you never blinked.
You never left.
Your button eyes
have seen more tears
than the stars above my window,
but never...
