Darling, paint the eyes
Every morning I paint a pair of eyes to see the world for me— Mine scream at the sky fracturing into neon glass.

I use them to ignore the...

I never wanted to grow up
I’ve never wanted to grow up. I’ve always been the girl who sighed At birthday candles instead of making wishes. The girl who whispered, “Wow… another year,” Like time was something cruel, Not a gift. The girl who stared out car windows And thought, “I wish time would slow down.” “I want to be 12 again.” I missed being small. I missed the color of childhood— Not just...

Premium Member In the garden where illusions grow like paper flowers under the velvet sky
In the garden where illusions grow like paper flowers under the velvet sky, Life is woven like a tapestry of shadows and lights fading into the distance, A sweet lie we embrace with open arms, For the pure truth, like a cold wind, might scatter our dreams, We paint our reality with the oils of dreams and unfulfilled hopes, While...

Premium Member Are you at peace, or where memories grow?
I've been witnessing your face in the steady glow, Where our feet once pranced, and affection used to flow Your flame just burned out, a sorrow fueled show, Are you at peace, or where memories grow? The torch I held flickered, casting a spectacular woe, Are you at the top of the world or down below? In my heart's dark...
