.retaliation

karma wont stay away very long…
she will unfold an indiscernible curve ball
that will knock you off your feet

An ocean of sadness that swallowed her whole. Questioning her sanity, she began to fall… Deeper into the rushing waves of sheer madness and pain. Always, she wondered… If it would be the same. She didn’t know just what to do… So she clenched onto her dreams, wishing that they’d all come true. She leftContinueContinue reading “. the trail”

.i am listening

I am listening to you… with intent to learn, to grow and to give I am listening to you… to your words unspoken that seep through your bones I am listening to you… trying to grasp your language…. your needs and your wants I am listening to you… even when you think I am notContinueContinue reading “.i am listening”

.what I carry inside

It’s 6 o’clock on a Sunday And the rain comes pouring down The memories of what was and is Always seem to get me down I look beyond for a brand new hope But my mind plays tricks on me And when I think I’ve got it all figured out Reality kindly greets me OnceContinueContinue reading “.what I carry inside”

.only yesterday

It was only yesterday That today was just a dream Plots sketched out in my journal It was all a scheme… How today seemed so lovely Another chance to get it right But now today seems to be Another yesterday come night… Nothing achieved My plans didn’t succeed I had the time I wished… ButContinueContinue reading “.only yesterday”

.your sigh

Here in this space Where no time exists Our bodies combined Tightly we twist Your chest rising and falling As mine leads the way Your brow dripping sweat While your eyes from mine never stray I’ve tasted nothing sweeter Than my name as you sigh it between my lips Your hands guiding the dance asContinueContinue reading “.your sigh”

.the flavor of you

You are my favorite flavor The way your love tastes Will you ever remember the feeling of my tight embrace? I crave you like a dying flower craves the warmth of the sun The scent of you lingers in my mind How close to reality As if you were really mine Every day without youContinueContinue reading “.the flavor of you”

.struggles

When I see people struggling through their battles I can’t contain my empathy well. I want to scoop them up and wash away their worries. I want to love and make those that I love feel loved and respected and cherished. I want them to know that although I can’t wash away their stresses thatContinueContinue reading “.struggles”
