A withered soul at the shore of dreams,
It pondered the waves as they gleamed—
Arrays of light, oh, what heaven beams,
Caused by clouds so white they seem
Formed from pearls or angel’s wings.

It prayed for this day to be its last,
For no day shall be worthy as this day will.
A weary spirit lingers where light and shadow meet, yearning for release beneath celestial whispers.

The binding I know is real ,
A merging too grand to fake ,
Though I hold a primordial fear,
That the bond one day would break ,
You are a dream I will forget
when at last I awake,
And all the balms the psalms the crooked charms
Wouldn’t stop the burning and the perpetual yearning ,
Those hounds biting at my heels,
How far you are further than far
And the further you lie the more I sigh,
The more I suffer in dreams,
And now I stand naked and lonely ,
Gazing high and moving slowly ,
With a thousand ,if only,
No word can be more justified
To hold my silent testimony.
Written in the hush between remembrance and forgetting—
where the heart speaks,
but only in languages the mind no longer understands.

Her heart remains
In Winter's ice
Some embers dance—
only to prance
toward Spring's entice

Unknowable are her
heart's desires,
and so she must wait
for Spring's cool fires
to melt away the crystalline
and reveal the love
she yearns to sing

And so, she waits for Spring

Delete it
I keep telling myself
The mornings and evenings
I keep hovering
Over the action

Delete it
The photos and videos
The calendar we created
Your birthday
Our shared moments

Delete it
Just do it
A simple action
The smallest movement
One finger is all it takes

Delete it
And throw it all away
Permanently gone
Your name erased
Storage finally cleared

Delete it
But I am hesitating
And begging
To ignore that button
Another day, another excuse

Delete it
What a coward I am
Delaying the inevitable
It's not right
To still look at you

Delete it
I know I will, I promise
But even if I delete it
It's all stored in my heart
And how can I delete that?

Even when you haven't said a word in years

I am still here, thinking and caring about you
maybe if i,
go out into the world
searching through
a sea of eyes
hoping yours will meet mine
you will appear?

maybe if i
close my eyes
squint them tight
and then open,
you will appear?

maybe if i
check my chart
or check the stars
to see what is coming,
you will appear?

maybe if i
take a look at the cards
shuffle through my decks
what jumps out?
what can i understand?
when will you appear?

maybe if i
get on my knees
put my hands together
hold them tight
speak a few words to my God,
you will appear?

maybe
in my mind’s eye
if i imagine
you and i
maybe
just maybe
you will come to life?
you will appear?

i’m staring at
an empty void
looking at a blank wall
laying in an empty bed
holding a quiet phone
waiting for you to appear.

now i’m not so sure.
i’ve done it all.
everything i can try.
i don’t know what to do.
hard to believe you’ll show now…
will you ever appear?

I've seen love burn like wildfires—
Born of passion, but doomed by desires.
Engulfed in flames of anger and darkness,
Consuming hearts to war and madness.

They spiral, trying to quench the pain,
Only to stoke the fumes again.
They kept burning, burning, and burning—
Until all that’s left were charred bones and yearning.

Blood and bone—are we not the same? I ask.
I am her; she is me.
Why is she looking up—
While I look down?
She in rags.
I, in a dress.
