Blank Pages
There is something about blank pages
Distinct from the ink-stained ones
The sheer thought my mind wages-
It is a street: long and of many turns
For it is criminal not to scratch a pen
On a perfectly white sheet, you see-
But it is wise to leave it alone when
Blank is what the page wants to be.

Torn Pages
I see the throbbing bass and liquid windswept flute in colorful everyday accompaniments companions really helping guiding finding myself quite champed as I weave through parallel realms not commonly accessed by learned energy observing interacting always respectful as I understand these entities exist to expand my mind chasing swallowtail butterflies and the aliens among us

The White Pages
Before technology, to find
A number, you would look
In a pretty big directory
Of names bound in a book.
There were two types - the yellow pages
Listed business phones
And the white-paged paperback contained
Your personal unknowns.
The names were alphabetical
And had a home address,
Plus the number for the telephone
To dial (not to press!)
We have a copy from

Empty Pages
The blank page
waits.
Not empty!
full of words
not yet written,
poems
not yet born.
Every line
holds a secret,
every space
a song.
I stare
at white paper
and see
everything
I could say
but haven't
said yet.
The page
is patient.
It knows
some
thing
wants
to come out.
All the poems
that might be
live here
in the quiet
before
the first word
falls.

In an old book, with torn pages, my soul navigates through labyrinths of dreams
In an old book, with torn pages, my soul navigates through labyrinths of dreams,
seeking the hidden story in the silence between the lines, where words were never written,
I try to fill the gaps with the silence of stars dancing on the sky of oblivion,
believing I understand the story that flows like an unseen river through

Fly Off the Pages
Why can’t we learn beforehand
life lessons we learn afterwards
Not grounded in experience
words fly off the pages like birds

Pages From Decrepit Seasons
Before midnight ticks, I turn to my
interior world ,
One that cradles myrhh
of reminisces and sagas,
Allowing breaths to inhale the agony
and radiance of loved ones' trails
now beyond my physical reach--
Watching the decrepit portraits on
the foyer, July air greets the dew
on blossoms, monarchs flitting in my

My Words
As my words "cascade" off my tongue,
onto the "myriad" of blank pages.
Each letter will slowly "slither,"
slither into a "serpentine" of sentences.
As I stop to read,
will the pages "lilt" to me?
With tired eyes I see a "nebula" bright night,
as I look out my huge window at the "lunar" light.

Pages Turn
Pages turn, as new cycles start,
Agree with our Maker, hear His heart.
In our daily solitary space,
Step beyond and hear the sound of the race.
See anew, learn to relate afresh,
If doubt remains, do not rush!
Press in prayer, let persistent faith arise,
And watch the impossible vaporize.
Reposition our hearts, stride onwards ahead,
Claim the inheritance for which we were

tuesday morning, pages 78 and 79
tuesday morning, pages 78 and 79
pulled back on the book i was reading
as if its yawn was bigger
than the one i had borrowed from you
only an hour earlier
we both laughed
remembering the days when you
touched one elbow
to the other behind your back
and challenged me
knowing it would never happen
it was raining when you left
then looked

UNREAD PAGES
If you knew the weight I bear,
You'd hear the screams beneath my stare.
I light the dark yet feel so cold,
Like a silent tale that's never told.
Of shining silver and glittering gold,
Of a burning past in letters bold.
It has been long, it has been ages,
since a soul has touched these unread pages.

Pages of Diary
the pages of my diary hold the memories-
memories of you being cold and warm,
memories of that mysterious smirk,
and the day you deserted me
i unfurled the white flag
and surrendered on my knees
you started this war
and kept on stabbing me
this war is our love affair
illicit from the moment it began
yet, i believed in you and 'this love'
still

Pages
i stitched my heart
into quiet lines,
shared them here
one post at a time
but this isn’t just a page
it’s a place i begin
a dream once whispered
now asking for wings
Friends!
I've created an Instagram page and it's -
almost.thirty.barely.grown
I also have a GoFundMe going for my debut book which I will need help funding! I will share the link here,

Blank White Pages
I never reached out for your hand—
Fingers interlacing, hearts intertwining.
My words blistered on my tongue,
And I tucked the unanswered glances
Back into silence,
Like love letters never sent.
What do I do with the love I couldn't give?
I'll bleed it onto blank white pages,
Ink running from my arteries.
My stanzas will contain
The glory of my memories,
And my metaphors
