boy meets girl
like rose petals
brushing her cheek,
he whispers a warning:
don't get too close.
i’m not here forever.

as if it’s a choice.

girl says,
i really like you.
face like the sun,
trembling, she offers
a half-open heart.

he says,
i love you too,
like an unexpected hug
before the goodbye.
then he leaves —
just like he promised.
but he forgets
a part of himself
is now hers to keep.
this one is about us. crossroads, in someone else's journey.

to Stefan.
I hardly think about you
Except when the music plays
And I realize that no one else
In the whole wide world
Knows the lyrics
But us...
Once or twice a day is not that much, after all...
I want you to open me carefully,
like a new book.
In half.

Slowly dragging your fingers across my center.

Before
you start reading.

"Murmur of Whiskers”





In pre–dawn hush
you pad across linoleum—
soft paws tracing the map
              of my half–dreams.

                Your quiet breath
becomes a tethered prayer,
stitching ragged edges
of my nightly fears.

              No need for words:
your calm is the benediction
       that steadies my pulse
before the world awakes.

Gold tainted lillies
and drooling lakes of desire,
the weeping willows
and endless breeze
make for a perfect afternoon

my most toxic trait is thinking

     everything will work out.


haven't died yet

     must be doing something right or

getting very lucky.
You are my precious,
A rare gem in this land,
Your brilliance shines,
Beyond the reach of my hands.

You are my melody, sweet,
A haunting tune I can't forget.
Your thoughts remain as a plight,
In every corner of my regret.

You are my dream in trances,
A vision I chase in the night,
Your memory forever dances,
In the shine of my eyesight.

You are my comfort in distress,
A shelter in life's stormy sea,
As your gentle whispers,
Guide me to where I want to be.

A treasure beyond compare,
Forever I will cherish,
In the depths of my love and care,
You are my precious.
