America Lost Its Innocence 7/14/2025

A free naton with baseball, movies and beer?
Those days when other nations cry against...

Black hole loveMy love is a black hole,
silent, vast, misunderstood.
It doesn’t explode. It swallows.
Soft things. Sharp things.
Every memory. Every maybe.
I give and give and still it spins,
pulling everything in without return.
I don’t know where it leads,
only that it holds so much:
letters never sent,
touches never returned,
hope that clings even when hands let go.
People think black holes destroy,
but I...

The Other WomanTrying to make some sense of it all
but ready to begin
my exit from this fated tryst
with baggage worn and thin
One last goodbye is all I leave
for you and you alone
who held me through the darkest nights
— my home away from home
(Villanova University: July, 2025)

I do not love youI don't love you
We can say I don't know you
We can say I haven't given you a chance
We can say that maybe love will grow if we are patient
We can say there is hope
But as of now, I don't love you
What we can't say is that I don't know what love is
I know...

I am the girl who loves too muchI am the girl who loves too much.
The one who bakes brownies instead of saying,
"I miss you,"
because sometimes sugar feels safer than truth.
The one who writes long birthday cards
and sends postcards filled with drawings,
because my words can be too heavy,
but my heart refuses to stay silent.
I fill pages with prayers,
scribbled in hand-written cards with too...

Heartbroken, still I loveI used to think heartbreak missed girls like me,
the ones who waited, who stayed soft and sure.
For years I prayed, “Lord, guard this fragile heart,”
believing stillness meant I’d skip the fall.
Then he arrived. The first to hold my hand,
the first to kiss me like it meant something.
He made me feel alive in quiet ways,
like maybe...

To the Moon and Backill drive down the highway at one eighty two
you'll say that'll we'll die but i know that can't be true
cause the strings and the signs of fate pulled us together
and they won't tear us apart for as long as i'll remember
the moon in the sky is so far away
in a big pit of darkness...

An Elegy on Death-2AN ELEGY ON DEATH -2
Simply someone look at eyes
In twilight of sky,happy in smile,
But that smile hurt after miles
Don't know else,that I file.
Left the whole world in dark,
Look in that smilies live in silence
Remember,when last these spark
Remember,when last I do violence.
The few I wrote on us
The few isn't, I think sufficent
Death don't get while it...

I woke up frightened, a girl lost in an abyss of terrifying dreamsI woke up frightened, a girl lost in an abyss of terrifying dreams,
Where sweat flows like a rain of stars on the sky of the endless night,
I worry, for I used to not know fear when you were by my side,
But now I feel the shadows of the world reaching silently for my soul,
I wonder...

Heartbroken yet not broken“I’d rather love a million times and have my heart broken every time, than hold a permanently empty heart forever.” –H.C. Paye
...........................................................
Pure wickedness sets you apart,
Meanwhile, true love you led me to assume.
You purposefully broke my heart,
Leaving my vases filled with wilted blooms.
Yet I deter not; my heart lives to love,
Through many heartbreaks, still I'm...

From Lost to FoundI have lost, what I need
Losing all that I need to believe
I am cold, I can’t breathe
I’ll do all that I need to succeed
I’ve become what I hate
I am losing my soul
While I stray from the path
Everything that I’ve known
This is all a mistake
This is out of control
As I stray from the...

The Ballad of Alexander WoodLast night I dreamt of a roadside stop—
an ice cream truck near a rusted shop.
Its engine was spent, its music was low,
and something inside told me I should l go.
I stepped through the door because I could,
and met a man by the name of Alexander Wood.
He wore a bowtie and a crooked smile,
a paper hat,...

Prisoner of the mindIn shadows deep where chaos grips my heart, A whispered cry is heard from the darkened cells
A child once laughing beneath a sunlit sky, Now lost in the darkness of despair.
Fear crawls like a serpent in the night, its scales revealing the demons I bear
I drown in thoughts that bind me to...
