My Journey, My Own

🌹 Stop comparing my life to the lives you know, The paths we walk aren't meant to show A mirrored tale, the same design— Your story’s yours, and mine is mine. My love, my joy, my quiet strife, Are chapters penned in my book of life. No two hearts beat with the same tune, No two suns rise or set... read more

Don’t Look at Me That Way

🌹 I hate the way you look at me, With eyes weighed down by sympathy. As if my worth is less than true, But don’t forget—I’m human too. I’m not some shadow, weak and small, Not some sad figure about to fall. I stand with strength, I fight, I feel, My heart, like yours, is raw and real. Don’t... read more

Reminders for 2025

🌹 In the quiet hum of year's embrace, A vow I whisper, a steady pace. To master the art of letting go, Expectations buried beneath the snow. I won’t expect the world to stay, For fleeting hearts often drift away. The hurt, less sharp, the tears less bold, When no promises in my heart I hold. To... read more

You’re Important

Just a short poem I’ve been working on. I hope it brightens your day, and makes you feel at least a little bit better :) “You’re Important” You’re important. Though you may not always see, To many others, you’re a lifeline they need— A quiet strength, a steady flame, A part of their story, a... read more

I pray For Rain

When the sky is blue no clouds in sight And the sun warms my face, With such delight I pray for rain, Only then will I see. I sense your touch In every drop, The earthy scent I miss so much. I pray for rain, Only then will I feel. I want the sky to go dark The thunder crash and the lightning... read more

A pinch

Where a perfect pinch of pepper spares a tempered tongue from bitter blanch and of pectin textured shallot. By the ounce will find it gritty stiff and so pronounced to cause a fit on even seasoned pallets.

Hypothetically, of course:

Stay Afloat

Stress is a tsunami_ And girl, your mind is a floating house at the ocean_ Because it can knock you down_ But you're the hurricane that can cause calamity to your anxiety_ Depression is a shark_ You don't know when it will strike you_ Your perseverance is the ship that helps you stay afloat from... read more

Sweet Cynosure:

It's easier to sit still, stalled in my car, after all the snow has settled. Nettled, now needing another kettle of tea; nervous, my thermos regretfully empty after spilling out my soul and that resentful ugliness in-between. We often measure our souls in pulls at the softened fabric... read more

Right Now, Can I Cry?

🌹 Right now, can I cry, Beneath this heavy, leaden sky? The weight of 2024 bears down, A year of storms, a breaking crown. Money slips through hands like sand, Dreams dissolve, too hard to stand. Love feels distant, work’s a fight, Life’s a shadow, robbed of light. Why must hardship mark my... read more

Since Hanna Moved Away - Judith Voirst

The tires on my bike are flat. The sky is grouchy gray. At least it sure feels like that Since Hanna moved away. Chocolate ice cream tastes like prunes. December's come to stay. They've taken back the Mays and Junes Since Hanna moved away. Flowers smell like halibut. Velvet feels like hay. Every... read more

First Post

During my divorce, I started to explore writing as an outlet for my emotions. At first, I started with a fantasy book that I'd been toying with for years and found that one of the characters should be a bit of a poet. Suffice it to say I am no poet. But it became an outlet I threw myself into.... (edited) read more

I only have eyes for the impossible The unattainable Tell me I can’t win the game And I’ll play Tell me I’ll always be set in my ways And I’ll change Tell me I’m caged And I’ll escape Tell me I’m normal I’ll show you insane Tell me I can’t have you And I’ll love you anyway

Poetry!

UNSEEN… I look for you in crowded rooms, a spark of hope, a quiet bloom. But your eyes pass right over mine, as if I’m just a passing sign. I laugh, I linger, I play my part, hiding the ache, the open heart. You’re unaware, so unaware to you, I’m simply nothing there. Yet still I wait, I watch,... 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 💞💞💞

unlike us (why)

why'd you take the world from me? it was warm, and bright, and lovely unlike you, who saw fit that I surely weren't enough for it why'd you take my love away? it was innocent, and kind, and lonely unlike me now, who cries too that it was never enough for you.
