Some things are never the same.
Alone, looking out into the cold, quiet, silence…

Leaves In SeasonLuscious leaves brush against my face,
pulsing veins deep enough to trace
time with a wind gust embrace.
Maroon, copper, gold they dangle
glistening to sunset's angle
with zeal of wind chime's bangle.
Lully leaves descend freestyle
becoming a striking pile
beaconing a...

Morning sun
To me, this today is forever

The night will never grow older as
The passing...

Twin FusionWith one pen in the inkwell,

The words to dance and laugh and pray,
phrasing’s still unmet
With one pen in the inkwell,

Expectations turning to romance and kindness
Exuberance and joy
Dancing around the corners of our minds
2021 a...
