"I tried my best not to cry, so the clouds did it for me." My heart is a cemetery, and all the bodies are people I once loved. There, I see your grave—freshly buried with my favorite flowers. I contemplate. I read your name and touch its cold coffin. You were dead to me. Yet, I hear your laughter and see your smile. You are no longer here with me, yet we remain in t » Continue Reading
Your presence is like gold— Hard to find and difficult to hold. You walk with a mean demeanor, Eyes piercing like an unreflective mirror. I couldn't hear your thoughts, Couldn't read your face, Yet my heart races with your smile’s embrace.

Delicate as a lily, Yet bittersweet when tasted fully, » Continue Reading
I stare at the wrinkles tracing his forehead, His dark hands, weathered and worn, And his tired, weary eyes. I wonder, "Am I made from this man?" A man whose demeanor can make one laugh, yet another frown. He snores so loud at night— I regret not cherishing the sound. I read these thoughts aloud, no rhyme to guide them, But every tear finds its pair, Sliding down my pale cheeks. I long for his pre... » Continue Reading
