33 Poetry is where I feel most alive. Lost in others words, found in my own. Move me with yours and I hope to move you with mine.
You are an enigma someone who gets me, who carries me like a shooting star: space dust in the sky that burns and glows at impossible speed, lighting up the dark the way you light up my world.

Written On An Airplane
Tease me and don’t be gentle. Entice me until I forget my own name. Spin me slowly across the floor. Touch me with the promise of ruin. Study me with hungry hands. Kiss me like it’s our last day. I don’t want distance, or games or halfway. I want the flame. The fall. The pull. The surrender. Move with me until our bodies blur, merge, until our souls are mistaken as one. Run through my veins to my pounding, beating core. Have no fear. And get lost in the maze.

Through The Maze
I am a sister, a daughter, I am many things, many names. A stepmother, a wife, someone who shares your space. But not a lover, not a mother I am everything except the one you reach for in the middle of the night. Just… there. A presence. Close enough to touch, but never truly held. From the outside it looks like we have it all a life built on solid ground people spend years chasing, rooms filled with things meant to quiet empty spaces, numbers that say we are safe, a home that appears whole. But no one sees the missing pieces. No one hears the silence inside it and how loud loneliness can be. It echoes off walls we built together, back into the spaces where something should live. You are always reaching beyond this moment, beyond me. Even when you’re beside me I feel you elsewhere somewhere I can’t compete with. And I stay. And slowly make myself smaller, learning how to fade without ever leaving. I tell myself I don’t need much. But I do. I need arms that feel like I belong there. I need presence that feels like safety. I want choices that feel like ours, a love that is cared for, not left to survive on its own. I want to be held like I matter more than what’s next, than what’s waiting. Some nights I choose numbness it hurts less than always feeling alone, even when I’m not. I need someone to see me to look at me like I am chosen. I want to feel like home, not just exist inside one. Because what breaks me is not what we’re missing it’s that we have everything except each other.

Dear wild maiden… My little patchwork of light, my soft, fragile piece of forever nine years you’ve walked this life, and still you feel like something I could lose too easily, any day, any moment, with one breath held too long. It is life’s precious miracle watching your alpha self unfold into a fierce lioness. Your fearful hesitation, your shield and armor, never stop you from trusting, from showing your guarded heart. Your little body, a mosaic of warm and wild colors, telling stories I will never hear midnight, honey, and cloud white, painted in ways no hand could reach, as if the universe took its time with you. You don’t ask for much just warmth, a presence, the silent understanding that I am yours and you are mine. You show me every time you curl up beside me, as if I am your safest place. You don’t know how I watch you sometimes with a quiet ache in my chest, counting time in heartbeats instead of years, wishing I could press pause on everything moving forward. There are pieces of my soul that have learned your name so deeply I no longer know who I am without the sound of you in my life the soft steps, the loud purr, the simple way you exist, a gentle reminder everyday. So stay here a while longer in the light, in the quiet, by my side. Stay where I can still reach you, still feel you, still whisper your name. For loving you, is the most beautiful heartbreak, the kind that begins long before goodbye ever dares to arrive. Because nine years is not enough. It will never be enough. And when you look at me like that, it feels like I am being chosen all over again.

I ache for you in the quiet moments no one sees, in the silence beside me, in the empty spaces where you should be. You are a love I’ve never held, yet cannot let go a dream I rebuild again and again, a name I whisper to the dark, a promise my heart refuses to give up. Every month I meet you in hope, in longing, in fragile belief and every month I lose you to a silence that feels like grief, caught between hope and heartache. My body feels like a question I don’t know how to answer, a home that hasn’t held you yet, though it was always meant to yet somehow, cannot. Still… I pray for you. Though I don’t know where you are in the dark, in the quiet, in the in-between I wonder if somehow you hear me, if somehow you already know me. I imagine you in the life I keep reaching for, in lullabies left unsung, in dreams that break before morning comes. I long for the weight of you in my arms, your cheek resting on my chest, your soft breath against my skin a moment I may never live. This tender love with nowhere to go, this mother with no child to hold, this forever missing piece of my soul. And even now, after a decade has come and gone, through every tear, through every year, through every why, I hold on. Because somewhere inside me, hope still breathes your name and tells me to wait patiently. And if, by chance, one day you find your way into the world through miracle, through timing, through grace. you will never have to wonder why. You were fought for. You were prayed for. You were never, ever given up on.

still waiting for you
I ache for you in the quiet moments no one sees, in the silence beside me, in the empty spaces where you should be. You are a love I’ve never held, yet cannot let go a dream I rebuild again and again, a name I whisper to the dark, a promise my heart refuses to give up.

Hearing you whisper your majesty, my beautiful queen, does not soothe me it unravels me, pulling a shiver from deep within. I see my soul mirrored in your selfless gaze, boiling just beneath the surface, a slow, exquisite undoing on the verge of breaking. You look at me as though I were some ancient goddess, holding the first sacred fruit at the beginning of time. And I I should turn away, resist the pull, let you remain untouched by whatever it is I’m becoming. But you are the mirror, reflecting my buried truth that does not lie or hesitate. In your eyes, I see the fragility the same deep abyss, the same endless hunger, that is so hard to resist. We are descending step by step deeper and deeper, down a spiral of stairs firm hands and trembling touch. A labyrinth of dangerous promises, where time forgets itself and we forget who we once were. You follow me not out of obedience, but in surrender so raw it feels like worship has taken form and chosen you. And I let you. Because queens are not meant to ache but I do. I ache in places no light can reach, no healing can undo. And when it rises, there you are, kneeling not in weakness, but in fierce, consuming devotion that would set the world on fire just to keep me whole. You see it all not just the throne, but the ruin beneath it, and the armor guarding it. You worship like one standing at the edge of a cliff, knowing the fall is eternal, and choosing it anyway. So let us unmake each other layer by layer, truth by truth, until no kingdom remains, only the echo of who we were before we dared to truly see one another. And together, we vanish into the dark not taken, not forced, but willingly, hand in hand.

I have not met you yet not in this lifetime, nor in any forgotten one. We do not belong to old stories of twin flames or destined soulmates. I have not touched you yet, still something in me knows the shape of your spirit. In my hidden thoughts, in my subconscious soul, in the wild rivers of my heart. I want to be the hunger that finds you in the quiet when you least expect it. The pull in your chest you cannot escape. You will find me not as something to own, but something to witness. And when you are with me even only in imagination, the loneliness loosens its grip. You notice the parts of me I keep beneath the surface and steady my restless mind. You tend to fragile places of my core and accept my barren soil. Places my broken marriage walked past without ever noticing. But you do. You will kneel for me, not in submission, but in reverence. With you I want to see the magic in this world. Watch the night sky light up with stars, and greet the slow birth of the morning sun. Feel the moss beneath our bodies in a wild forest field, as we lay down there. Let the earth hold us Let the trees witness us, as we make love there. Let us admire the shadows as much as the light we both carry. Let us choose each other not once, not by fate, but again and again and again. Wreck me in ways I never saw coming, in ways that leave no part of me untouched. Because when my soul finally stands before yours, I will not run and call it fear. I will stay. I am not going anywhere.

I don’t want perfect plans or busy filled days. Just you telling me stories down quiet roads, your hand in mine while time moves slowly. I want to sit beside you in small diners with laminated menus, ordering pancakes and crêpes, talking while we look each other in the eye. I want to pull over whenever we feel like there’s a place, a view, a moment waiting just for us. I want the windows down, music playing, wind moving through my hair, our playlists mixing like the stories we share. No rush. No expectations. Just the simple freedom of wandering through the day, side by side, comfortable even in silence.

comfortable silence
I do not expect it to last forever this aching, burning desire. But what if it does? What if you are the sanctuary my heart has been yearning for all this time? The pull between us, hungry and undeniable like a vampire compelled to a witch. I do not expect us to build a home. But what if we do? Somewhere warm and mismatched a little cottage core, a touch of art deco, sunlight across old wood floors plants growing wherever they please. A place where you can rest your head against my chest and listen to the blood moving through my quiet veins. Where your touch sends warmth rushing to the surface of my skin. And for a moment the world is still. A place where we care for each other, keep each other safe. Two wandering souls finally claimed.
