I’ve always been told by others that I am like a lonely island. I don’t interact socially with others easily and I prefer to be alone. Although I thought that is true about myself I never imagined I would find myself literally on an island and with a stranger together. It’s also when I realized the saying of being a lonely island was just a saying if you let it be just that and that connection can...

Under the willow I will find,

A flower

That is small and weak

Whose leaves will blow in the wind and disappear when it reaches its peak

When it becomes heavy and falls to the ground,

It’s existence will lie distant and hard to see

A flower, once a beam

Now unrecognized

That now shallowly breathes

Under the willow

Hidden under a tree

Its light damaged

A little faded, sunflower seed

...

Healing of pain

With a grasp of your grace

Peace, serenity and tranquility

All wrapped in a blanket of gratitude

From negativity and vain

Our selfish acts and thoughts

Our hidden darkness which we cannot escape

Breathing in and out

To disregard anxiety and worry

Our faith and believe that is something greater

The ones who watch over us

And protect us from evil and misfortune

When we came ...

Luna and her cat, Noir, were looking into the sky. Shades of rainbow colors were set like an abstract on the sky. They were watching the rare sighting of the “kiss” of Jupiter and Venus from the moons on their planet Mars, Phobos. Phobos was one of the two moons that Mars had. The other was Deimos. Luna never visited the other moon. Although she had dreamed of seeing something more than only her p...

Thorns on roses

La vie en rose

Such authenticity of a representation of life

To be so beautiful yet have flaws

No such thing as perfection without mistakes

A single rose stands alone

Only one is enough to have a deeper meaning

One rose says your the only one

when one hundred means I love you

A beautiful thing

The symbolism of flowers

There like people who grow and then disappear away

The ...

Leila, was listening to music on her headphones while she was laying down on her bed. Her dog was lying beside her resting on the covers. She felt so comfortable and didn’t want to wake him up as well. She had plans to clean the house, but was tired to get started. Before lying down on the bed she ate a couple of meals and left the dishes in the sink to allow to soak. Time was passing by and the d...

My heart flutters with every breath you take

My songs play at the same beat as your rhythm

Your like fire and I’m like rain

You wash away the pain

I’d jump threw a hoop of fire for you

Because my love for you

Continues to grow each day

And I can’t wait to say

How much I missed seeing your face

And your smile that made me want to say

I’m glad I put a ring on your finger

Because our love fo...

Documented memories

Followed by late night talking

One response on your cellphone

Afterwards

No reply

You leave me on read

Dreading that checkmark

Followed by I’m in my world

And your in yours

While the memories of you to me remain

The songs we listened to

The connection that lasted a short but meaningful while

A trip to the leaning tower

That moment you leaned on me before you went to b...

Ripping off the pain

And hiding it in a numb feeling

Walls are crumbling down leaving marks of frustration

Blind looks of seeing the outer side

And keeping to myself until I cool down

Blood boils over and over again

A loud kettle exploding with steam

The entire time burning and burning

In an invisible blanket covered to endure all the tough parts all alone

A phone call away

A gentle sof...
