Is it real?

🌹 A relationship, they ask. But how can you define a connection stretched thin across oceans, woven with time zones that whisper, "Not yet," "Soon," "Tomorrow." The sun greets you as I sleep, and when the moon watches over me, you are already chasing another day. Our voices meet in fleeting... read more

A heart's closet

A heart, a closet, where grief takes its rest, A door tightly shut, a tormenting test. The longer it stays, the darker the dream, A nightmare unfolding, a sorrowful scene. The closed door grows stronger, the grief takes its hold,A stifling presence, a story untold. Each attempt to open, a painful... read more

Love's Cold War

From battlements forged from disappointments, we stare at each other across a no-mans-land, littered with the shards of previous relationships and ideals. Our fingers sit poised above the red button, the missiles are primed and ready to launch. A war of mutually assured affection will leave no... read more

The Great Blower Quest

My blower blew, tragic but true, Spent yesterday chasing something new. From Watsonville to Salinas I ran, Turns out Newsom's 2-stroke ban crushed my plan. Stopped for coffee, a friend and a laugh, Before eyeing a Husky on his last draft. Beat up, used, but it might do, Or maybe electric if the... read more

The Rain Cries

A night where I stayed up late and watched the rain for a few hours. Being present in that moment was so peaceful. I've never posted my poetry before... so please be kind. 😅

Prey

Stalked by a beast teeth tearing, blood curdling. Watching my every move eyes stalking, heart stopping. Wanting to pounce distance covering, balance unwaivering. Fighting for my life punches heavy, kicks life threatening. To make it another day barely surviving, grave digging.

Just

A little taste Just a sip Of something you can't have A drop of stolen wine This cup is not your own See the feast laid on the table A banquet arrayed for better souls Not for the likes of you Stay back - keep your dirty fingers off the dishes Will you catch a crumb as it falls to the floor?

Title Me

One breath. Then two. Eyes that see a blur of the world. Ears that hear but don't understand the sounds. Three breaths down, more to go. Crying for a taste, hunger that lays waste to the haste of my disposition. Four breaths in and life has just set in. Dependent on others; fathers, mothers,... (edited) read more

Embers and echoes

A storm held steady by unyielding skies, a soul that burns where wildfires rise. Your voice, a thread of wandering songs, woven with edges, fierce and strong. A canvas of earth, of shadows and hues, rooted in truths that time can't undo. Each word a ripple, each thought a flame, your chaos and... read more

Just a poem that came to my mind recently... hope you enjoy 'Icarus.'

If your life breaks apart, You can never see the stars, Floating up above, You stretch your hands in vain; The distance is so great. Your dreams drift apart. What should be? Give up? The urge won't fade away. Tension extends, While your distance lessens. You can never reach it— Sweet poison that it... read more

Solipsism:

Slurring and slipping, sloppily dripping sight and sound and ellipses into sticky speech, sheepishly sliding, eyelids enclosed and eclipsed by somnial tidings; deeply, slowly into sleep. Solipsism seeps into the slim, somniferous sliver between denial and bliss, the subconscious... read more

Life

Life is made up of choices. We listen to inner and outer voices. Some choices have us spinning. Some have others winning. Despite what we may think is right, how can we know what will bring us light? To live life is to learn. To desire what we feel we earned. To experience a feeling of yearning. As... (edited) read more

Will someone notice?

🌹 I fake a laugh, hiding the weight of sadness that clings to my chest. I fake being okay, shielding my sorrow from eyes that might see too much. I fake strength, concealing the fear of a lonely tomorrow that whispers in the dark. Will someone notice? Will someone listen? Will someone look... read more

Why I'm Scared to Ask You This

🌹 I hold my breath, the weight of words unspoken presses heavy on my chest. The silence between us feels like an answer I’m too afraid to hear. Do you love me, or am I just a fleeting moment, a remedy for your loneliness? Your promises shimmer like stars, distant, beautiful, but are they... read more

A quiet dream, a pull to distant horizons, where silence wraps around like comfort, and every path feels new, untouched. Not for escape, but... read more

Each step forward... read more

Love tropes!

Okay as tragic as it is, my favourite love trope is star crossed lovers. Two people that just seem so perfect for each other that are just simply meant to be together but simply can't. It's a sad tragedy but I personally find it to be my favourite love story in novels 💞💞💞

When asked, "Tell me about the one who got away."

I sigh deeply.. Because your existence in my life was temporary.. I often wish that you never took that drive.. Because then you'd still be with me, and alive.. One moment you were here.. The next, crushed by drunk driver left alone and in your last moments probably riddled with fear.. So to the... read more
