Twenty-two, it’s bittersweet,

A dance of joy, a shuffle of defeat.

Moments linger, memories weave,

In laughter’s echo, I still believe.  

Without you, time feels out of tune,

Shadows lengthen beneath the moon.

Each heartbeat whispers your refrain,

A melody wrapped in tender pain.

The world spins on, but I stand still,

Chasing pieces, the dreams we’d fill.

Bittersweet notes, this life’s embrace,

A fragile beauty, a tender trace.

Sunrise colors the empty air,

Yet in that glow, I see you there.

In every sunrise, in every sigh,

Your spirit dances, it won’t say goodbye.

Twenty-two, a chapter torn,

A canvas bright, where love was born.

Though bittersweet, I hold it tight,

For every shadow knows the light.

Grief,
It's a painful thing.
I do not remember a time without her.
She has been by my side for- well,
what feels like forever.

Maybe there was a time where she wasn't around.
I miss when she didn't drag me down.
Make me drown.

She has held my hand since your dying day.
I was too young to know better, so she grabbed my hand and took me over.

At first, I did not realize how dead she would make me feel inside, but now I've come to see that grief is just love with no place to be.

I love you; it's killing me.

In the vast tapestry of existence, behold,
Life weaves its intricate threads of stories untold.
A dance of fleeting moments, both gentle and wild,
where love and death intertwine, forever beguiled.

Life, a fragile vessel sailing uncharted seas,
Embodied in souls, teeming with hopes and dreams.
A precious heartbeat, a symphony of breath,
A canvas painted with both joy and bitter depths.

In the embrace of down's golden gleams,
Love emerges like a river, flowing in steams.
A divine force the defies all reason and law,
It binds hearts together, leaving them in awe.

Love, a brave warrior, battling time's relentless march,
Through moments of bliss and wounds that leave a lasting mark.
It whispers sweet sonnets in a lover's ear,
And enfolds the world, erasing every fear.

But amidst this dance of love, life's fragile thread,
Death lurks nearby, silent and dread.
A gentle reaper, embracing all souls,
Leading them into the unknown as it unfolds.

Death, the ultimate truth that we all must face,
An equalizer, transcending every race.
It shatters the illusions we hold dear,
Reminding us that life is both fleeting and clear.

Together, life, death, and love coexist,
A delicate balance, a persistent tryst.
They shape our journeys and sculpt our fate,
Guiding us through mysteries we can't navigate.

So let us cherish each breath that we take,
Embrace the love that our hearts ache.
For life, death and love, intertwined they be,
A poignant harmony, painting our human tapestry,
The Tapestry of Our Life.

Secret World
Makenna Sep 2024
In quiet corners where shadows sway,
I hide desires that dare not betray.
A secret world, a whispered ale,
Yearning for love, yet fearing to be free.

In the dance of veils and subtle signs,
I navigate paths where truth entwines.
A heart in turmoil, longing to confess,
Yet bound by silence, an unseen caress.

But fate's gentle nudge, and subtle signs,
Draws me from darkness, breaks the wall.
To face the light, to embrace the day,
Where hidden desires find their way.

In the tender gaze and fleeting touch,
I glimpse a world where hearts clutch.
To finally breathe, to finally see,
The possibility of you and me.

So let the whispers fade, the doubts subside,
As we unravel secrets we've tried to hide.
In this quiet revolution, we'll find our way,
Where love can flourish, and we'll finally abide.

Salt filled orbs, refusing to fall.
Locked behind a dam, they silently call.
For release, for freedom, for sweet escape.
But they are held captive, in an unbreakable shape.

A hurting heart, a broken Soul
Feelings too deep, to ever be told.
Eyes that deceive, a smile that hides.
The pain that is within, forever resides.

The tears that don't fall, leave an endless ache.
A burning sensation, that no one can shake.
They swim in our eyes, but refuse to spill.
As we hold them back, against our will.

"Her" (an excerpt)
Makenna Sep 2024
In her eyes,
a universe unfolds,
Where whispered
dreams and truths untold.
But barriers rise,
a fortress tall,
Against the tide,
I yearn to fall.
