  • In a Sea of Lonely Nights

    A lonely boy in a sea of lonely nights in that last hour of the day capturing words he wishes he had said writing them down so they’re out of his head Music fills the air soothing the tension lessening the cares Take a trip to the other side: what makes the other person tick,…

  • The Box

    “This friendship will self-destruct when you open that box,” Katie says as she hands me a box and waits for a response. I wonder what this means, what is so important in this little box. Do I dare open it? I don’t want to lose her as a friend. We’ve been through a lot together:…

  • A Story of Hope

    A writer yearns to tell their story, any story,that will stand the test of time full of hardships conquered and inspire generations with hope. The story shall feel whimsical, not so much with fairies dancing but that there is a happy ending. The story shall have brevity, not so much as a long weathered tale…

  • Caught In The Act

    Working long hours between covert exchanges aboundit becomes a late night at the office with no one else around, we absolve the need to be cautious Behind the locked door,you parade around the desk,perch yourself closer than ever beforeas your fingers reach the hem of my dress Fingers creeping higheras my eyes heighten with alert,tension…

  • Our Song

    Spinning the same song that connected us gets harder to hear. Each verse cuts deeper into what never was, what could have been; the longing to be near. With my fingertips crossing your beard, your fingers grazing my thighs, those longing sleepless nights I’ve waited to be alongside the one that knew the depth of…

  • Separated Not By Love

    You set the scene, describe it so perfectly; what we’ll do what I’ll wear where we’ll go from the first moments of excitement to the height of pure ecstasy But love, it’s a trembling sensation that leaves me wanting; wanting to lay with you, to feel your warmth next to me The cool breeze from…

  • Mementos

    One by one counting memories: An old photograph of us at the beach, A sweater that won’t rid itself of your scent, Books and CDs that you lent, I’ve packed them away They won’t see another day I’ve packed the boxes, Made the plans, The rooms are empty But I am motionless Is it that…

  • The Oak Tree

    The oak tree Unwavering and sturdy Tells us how to be: Don’t break so easily In the slightest change of wind Climbing back through my childhood bedroom window Landing on shards of broken glass Crimson oozes slowly As I pray each stab is its last So much has shaken me since my first landingEach step…

  • Meet Me in the Rain

    Meet me in the rain So I can explain The sun’s gone And it’s been too long I look at your pictures on the wall I shouldn’t keep them up for too long I miss the sound of you down the hall So I avoid the sound of you at all It’s as if the…
