  • The Season of Changes

    Every Autumn fills with browns and reds, yellows and oranges; Sweeping leaves and a steady wind blowing through trees. Halloween decorations, candy corn, and costume trials as little ones prepare for changes in the air. Days lead up to celebrating another trip around the sun, and yet this season is another reminder of all those…

  • Back Where We Started [with audio]

    Driven too far, gone too fast, said too many things to make it last. Now you’ve gone away and we can’t go back, back to where this love once started. Now I drive too long to make sense of it all. Drive too hard to run away from it all. But I can’t go back,…

  • Small Promises

    Out there beyond the hill Lights twinkle in time with distant voices Preparing for the new year Making small promises of things to come Promising small victories of things to overcome What will they remember When they look back at the year The fickle promises collapsing around them Or achievements made Or constant redirections to…

  • I’m Yours, Completely [with audio]

    I’m in, all in I’m kicking and screaming as loud as can be I’m yours, Completely yours From the tops of the mountains To the valleys below I’m shouting everywhere I go I’m yours, Completely yours I’d move everything I see If it blocked you from me I’m yours, Completely yours As long as you’re…

    When I think of Carlos, a beautiful soul of a man, emotional, heartfelt poetry bleeds through Tears creep on the brink of every reading His hand held over his heart to keep it in He makes a mark wherever he goes The rhythm of his words flow And it leaves you speechless All you can…

  • unease

    it’s been three days with clear blue skies every morning i stand in disbelief; there’s nothing to obstruct the view nothing to prevent the light from coming through so why do i feel at unease? because even now, the skies are just a tease

  • The Parisian Cafe

    In the city of lights, the city of love, there I was without them both idly observing passersby outside a café one summer evening pacing back and forth, stealing covert glances, hoping for one to catch my eye. Was someone out there to hold onto or had each moment longed for escaped? Heartbroken and alone,…

  • Sudden Attack

    The heart stops, stomach drops, and fear attacks tearing and scraping the insides. Stepping back, it’s not the right time. It’s too delicate; my hands are tied. I stall. I ruminate. I do all the things not to destroy this. I dread that I will, gravely… to the point of not moving. This is what…

  • Out of The Dark Corners

    Out of the dark corners, images of another time creep into the forefront of my mind. Images of you and I mix with the scenery. Our bodies entwine in front of me. Shining down or seeping in, blurring the focus of what actually broke us. Layering conversations, our wanting to be held close, I jump…
