Last words we wince to speak You get the last words I'm burning photos at my feet Memories erased and gone ablaze We knew this day would come As I walk away. Pain in your voice I shutter to think Screaming in my head At the things you once said to me. Ashes pilling on … Continue reading My midnight in ashes

Falling star
You shine so bright you might burn out Falling so fast Cascading down Searching for somewhere safe to land From the sky you once were Now on the ground you land. From stardust you were created from Under the stars you were born of A wreary soul you become Burning bright and now a flickering … Continue reading Falling star
Reoccurring dream
I keep having this repeating dream Seeing your face only exists in this space A familar face blurred from my sight Our souls connected throughout past lives Brings us together again this time You see me and I see you Bringing out light while shielding the darkness too. Haunting me like a ghost from my … Continue reading Reoccurring dream
Daylight
Familiar sounds all around A stillness in the air Trees whispering among themselves. Birds chriping everywhere. The warmth of the sun Cascading over me. So this is what it feels like to finally be at peace. You can feel life in these moments Living presently As people walk and talk nearby Dogs following at their … Continue reading Daylight
A blanket made from thorns
There once was a girl who thought she was alone. With a broken heart her blanket. She realized it was covered with thorns. Without it she felt isolated and cold. In damp clothes she needed shelter.

Vertigo
Dancing in circles Wondering amongst the crowd Spinning too fast I should probably lay down A busy life is all I see Distractions. Errands. Is this really the American Dream? Working so hard but where has it gotten me? Life is complicated enough Why make it harder for me? Being present is what it stands … Continue reading Vertigo
Black rain
Falling on me As I look to the sky Dark clouds surround me Lightning striking nearby Dragged by the current Dark water at my feet War above my head where the clouds meet. Trees shaking with a chilling breeze Dogs barking on all streets Black rain pouring heavily Finding shelter to rescue me Waiting the … Continue reading Black rain
American dream
The American dream is so far what it use to be. We can no longer afford basic needs Frightened people scurry the streets While others live check to check To survive at least Middle class dimishing Lay offs. Cut backs. Raised costs. Foreclosed. At what cost? A divided country we've become Arguing and arguing Waiting … Continue reading American dream
