My comfort for ten years and one

We saw each other in the pet shop booth

I stared at you and you stared at me

Both transfixed as it was meant to be

Through lovers, countries and loneliness

I could never truly be that, with me and my shadow

Such a happy soul, never questioning always loyal

By my side until the lockdown when I wished I had you the most

To spend more time instead of having to le...

She galloped through the meadow towards the shed

She galloped through the meadow away from the sick bed

She galloped through the meadow to check her dead she galloped through the meadow where her mama used to lay her head

She galloped through the meadow with her goodbye unsaid...

Nothing feels happy once you get sick.

The leaves turn brown,

They fall to the ground,

And they never turn green again.

For a world that used to shine

To become matte and dull,

Is one of the greatest tragedies that comes, When life sucks out your soul.

Nothing is easy once you get sick.

When everyday there are needles inside of you,

And some days it is hard to move.

But the world keeps spinning ...

I will meet you at the graveyard gate, Where silence speaks, and time runs late.

Where you now rest beneath the stone, And I walk this path, aching and alone.

You lay there still, the world turned gray, Faced up to skies that stole you away.

A cold heart beats no more in chest, But in my soul, you've built your nest.

We talked of forever, of life hand in hand, Of dreams we'd build, of making a sta...

Goodbye to my dream of Happily Ever After

I used to believe in it

the fairytale ending,

the promise that love would stay

if I just held on tight enough.

Doing right by others would payoff

Just a matter of time

Truth is,sometimes it doesn’t

You can do it all, maybe it is a lesson

To learn. Maybe, I should of listened when they told me to put that time in myself instead.

Since I was a child,

I...

(AKA The Last Piece of Chalk)

Here I write, at the end of things

Of pain unparalleled

My brethren: used up, dwindling

Stubs scarcely to be held

Mere dots where once proud columns lay

Tales ended with a period

Muddled dust in shades of grey

Once shone in colors myriad

Remembrance falls to me alone

No other bell will toll

No flags half mast, no widows moan

For rubble in a bowl

My only solace to ...

I suppose I should have expected

Being here today,

Standing beside your casket.

I wish I didn’t expect it,

I wish that this was a surprise.

But it isn’t.

You have left us,

And you’re already being forgotten.

I, and few others, will reach out for you

Wishing to keep you here,

To compress our hands to your already still heart.

As if the effort of few will bring you back.

To bring you back we wo...

We lost each other in the chaos of life

We drowned in the voices of others

We

What happened to us?

Do you ever think about that?

I do

Maybe you do too

We

We had so many plans

Plans to be together

Forever

We

We lost each other along the way

We suffocated

We choked

We

We’re gone

There’s no hope for us now

We

We’ve become just a daily poetry prompt...

For my favorite toy

of my toddler self;

I imagine you’re somewhere better now,

perhaps another kid sees you the way I did.

I loved your bright colors

and silly Blue’s Clues song.

I loved clicking the fun buttons

a new song wouldn’t wait long.

The radio would light up,

a rhythm would start,

the Dora Explorer song started with a thump.

I can only hope with sincerity,

that a toddler loves your c...

Does love die, does it lie?

Does it stay constant, or deny?

Does it hurt, does it flirt,

Does love even work?

In your beginning love is born,

Love is nurtured, love is torn.

How love feels as love grows,

How it steals and how it shows.

How it heals, how it lives,

How much beauty love still gives.

Love can dim, love can go,

Love is warm, yet love is cold.

Love is bold—my love I hold.

Love can fa...
