    Looking up at the clouds so high Watching colors stretch across the sky As they combine and spread apart gracefully An ever-changing work of art slowly slips by As the sun first wakes Golden hues are painted on the tips I’m struck by the beauty How lucky am I to be a witness As the…

  • Cold Rushing In

    I open the doors On a winter’s night The cold rushes in Exposing the fragility of my plight. I’ll never learn. Always the one to run Too far, too fast Into someone else. Immersing myself as I did in the past. I should take heed, Call it quits, Just breathe And walk away. Listen to…

  • In the Dead of Winter

  • Words at Night

    All the words to say The sad ones The lonely ones The grateful ones The mad ones They circulate through you But never leave your lips Raging out onto paper For all to read But the ones closest to you Will never see Those words escape effortlessly Words poured out late at night And splayed…

  • Wait and See

    Standing Out by the water I see you’re alone Do I care to bother you Or should I leave you with your thoughts, Let you decide If this is what you want Will you come to me Or do I beg you to stay in this space I can see it written all over your…

  • Screaming Amongst The Silence

    My insides are frantic red hot and rebellious toiling and pacing until we can find an end Searching for peace a single breath that’s what it might take or a walk deep into the forest Silence lingers without answers and without a sound of anyone around, I scream and let it all out
