I thought I saw ‘the one who left too soon’. (I call him that to separate my thoughts, Of those amongst the living with his name.) He spoke but once, inquiring of my life, Just like him, to think of others first, And not to tire the listener with himself,...
May 1, 2021… Beltane... There is ancient magic in Wales. I was savoring a pint in the Railway Inn, Pen-Y-Bont-Fawr, relaxing before calling it an early night. Then, she walked in. Her dress was shimmering green, floating with a gossamer quality. Her straw...
Seven million people within fifty miles of me, yet I am alone. Isolated as though I was in the middle of the desert. I feel so lost, so utterly miserable, No relief in sight, My life in a shambles. Darkness surrounds me at all times. The pitch black suc...
I knew I was dead; I just knew it. I shouldn't have stormed away from that dickhead who wouldn't leave me alone on the slopes. I'm a decent skier, but not ready for the slope I found myself on. It wasn't even part of the resort, so trying to get down it w...
I saw you tonight In the reflection Of the moon You were staring at me Reminding me I belong with you I felt you tonight Reaching forward In a wave of truth As we were dancing Lost in our movements In a rhythm for two I cried for you this nigh...
I bang my head against the steering wheel, not believing my luck. It really is the perfect storm. Pitch-black night. Pouring rain. Dead car. No cell service. Lost. This sequence of events is just par for the course for me. An unfulfilling career, a string...

Arms open wide under the hum of burning stars, Breezes nose My silhouette For your scent I fill my lungs with air Steel my muscles Wind rumbles To a raging roar Flames bullet From the sky, Tiny fireballs Spearing my flesh Tattered dress flaying ...
It wasn't a chance encounter, you and I. you looked at me, wearing your stupid black tie standing across the bar with a beer in hand with 'fuck me' eyes and an obnoxious stand. I looked at you from head to toe, wondering if I should really go that low. Wi...
Like a raging hurricaneYou stormed out of my lifeWithout care and thoughtDestroying all in your wake Tormented by your actionsBroken by your wordsA million pieces scatteredOf this once beating heart Portraits of our shared loveLeft torn on the floorA pain...
You left me without a word My heart still undeterred You moved on to someone less worthy And left me crying with eyes all blurry I said I love you But now I am blue Thinking about you and him Trying not to imagine my life so grim You flaunt your new l...
In silence,I sit and I stare at a ray of sunlightIt’s forced its way through the cracks in my window blinds.Blinds meant to block the glow,Meant to keep the radiance out.But, it finds a way to penetrateCascading down,Etching shadows in the ripples of the...
When I first met him, I was lost in his eyes With eyes so blue and so bewitchingLittle did I know he was playing a masqueradeHiding his emotions behind a mask. In his eyes, I saw the seductionAnd his desire of wanting meIt was at that moment of my lost...
