I dreamed that snow fell on the hill, while far below the sea was still; it covered paths that we once knew when I was so in love with you. I saw the bridge where we would stand, lips pressed together, hand in hand, where we sought shelter from the rain when my heart smiled and felt no pain. But as I wakened...

You're lost in thoughts of Yesterday. I'd like to drive Yer Blues away. Always, Across the Universe, Let it Be, do not cry or curse. "Life is a Long and Winding Road", I say, Because when love has showed the Rain will go away, dear one, you will then say, "Here Comes the Sun"....

I stood on the gravel pathway, feeling the wind gently kiss my face, and the sweet scent of cherry blossoms, mingling with the air. My hands went up to my mouth, covering my gasp, as I saw him kneel down on one knee, a velvet box in his hands. A gentle smile adorned his face, as he looked...

I'm not insane. I swear to God, I just wanted to help her. To reach out and save her. I grabbed her, to urge her to move. That's when I recognized the terror on her face. She was scared, just like me. I didn't like that. Don't be scared. I'm just trying to help. "P-please...don't." I sighed as she stammered out those words when...

Why is Old Age so Lonely? Why is it such a bore? Why because you're getting Old no-one wants you anymore As a Mother and a Wife you give your very best, Perhaps it's just because they think you need a rest. Once children ran riot in your home, Now you'll be really lucky if they pick up...

her steps rhyme with mine an echo between yearn and daunt I ask her to keep pace, her shadows pine voices behind me, slick and gaunt —the phantoms want to keep her the light ahead hazy, yet I demur we’re so close—or too close panic surged deliriously, in prose— my eyes turn to my asphodel... her lost shadow whispers: ‘farewell.’...

You didn't want to help me reassemble The puzzle pieces of my broken heart. You didn't want to see how we resemble A couple turning the page for a new start....

Heartsick that foolish thing Thumping through my bones Shooed away, an errant puppy Still waiting for the stick throw It has sat so long Barely remembers what it misses now Some flicker of imagination A sense of who it was Yet refusing to let go Honouring it says To let it go, lets it end Drowning in defiance Knuckles white to the stone Yielding no blood ...

Inspired by Bob Dylan's "Mississippi" I was the backbone of your dream— ribs shaped into beams, my blood seeping slow, cementing your tower’s base. You promised a sky of stars, a rise beyond all shadows— but I was just a ghost etched in your blueprint, a whisper beneath your tower. We built forever on lies, stacking stones on my shoulders— I was your ground, your silent sacrifice, the...

I lost my beautiful dog today I lost my dearest friend She took with her a piece of my heart I’ll never feel again I know you’ll say there will come a day when your heart is filled with another but you didn’t know my Chuli girl A dog unlike any other I’ve never cried or felt...

We kissed at the movies We kissed in my home We kissed on your bed When we were all alone We kissed in the hallways Where no one would stare We kissed at my front door With my parents right there We kissed in the cold Love struck under stars You held my hand tight As we waited for our cars And you kissed me while we...

The Promise She was silent, calm — never one for lies. Always believing in true love, Her idea of love was someone to rely on, Someone who’d stand by her Even when their views didn’t align. Someone who might not always agree, But for her sake, stood by her side, Who’d talk through right and wrong, And calm her fears when nights were long. She...

I am chaos, the storm that shatters silence — thunder rolling through the wreckage, still breathing, still burning, still me. They hurt me. Often. And I stayed. Not because I was weak — but because I believed people were more than their wounds. I saw the hidden cracks no one else did. I loved anyway. But the tether snapped. No longer do I chase the lightning that scars but...
