Will the Time Ever Come?
...I work each day in peaceful chaos,
A tireless race where I wear my fatigue like a badge of honour.
Sleep? A stranger I rarely greet.
I chase knowledge like tomorrow won’t let me try again—

Runner
...I’ve been runnin'
Out of breath,
cold sweat, lungs burnin'

...Just a girl child, just a woman.
After all's said or done - a human

...In a universe of shadows, my steps diverge from the crowd,
as if walking on a sea of glass, each shard reflecting
a world that was once whole.
Independence, a bird with silver wings,

Ghost
...I stare at the ceiling,
Lost in soliloquies,
Engulfing myself in that feeling.
The clock ticks,
the breath stops,
my heart beats slow down,
another smothering desperation.
They say “You’r...

WOMEN IN CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY
...There are two types of women, I've found
One type fights in silence, steady and strong
The other thrives in the spotlight, fierce and bold.
I could go on about the latter
But the former stretc...

bursting sunshine rain

From the Ashes

her ears ringing.
Father screams:
"you did not just say that filthy word!"

The Scream - Ekphrasis On An Edvard Munch Piece of Art

Stretched in elliptical misery
Redefines the perfect circle
To a breakable volatile tautness
Loosely cloaked in sheaths of epitonic blue
Draped upon the shrinking bod...
