The dragonfly hovers,
born of storm-fed ponds,
its wings catch sunlight
where shadows once drowned.

It teaches—
from fleeting rain
can rise
a life of light.

sad stories
are the ones that make you cry
but for a reason...

the lightning flashes
the window bashes
the thunder roars
so we stay indoors
rain is falling
my phones dead
so no ones calling....

It doesn't matter
How deep the water is if
You're drowning in it

Wear the logo.
Sip the overpriced latte.
Smile like you belong.

But deep down
you traded truth
for a tag.

Fake gold glows too,
until it rains.

Don’t plant your worth
in damp soil
just to grow rice
for someone else’s plate.

Luxury?
Maybe.
But only if illusion is your favorite fabric.

Real talk
your worth isn’t worn,
it’s lived.

a cherry blossom smile
is a pink blooming flower
its so delicate and petite
it has seen the most beautiful days
and the darkest of times
but it still smiles
and continues to make others smile
still today,
it is the rarest and most beautiful of all

A broken heart is–

a poet's greatest treasure.
