  • Moments of Time: In Front of the Looking Glass

    I see me, I see me. I can not see through me. Dark hair and those dark eyes that Fail to comprehend meanings they witness. An obstacle within myself – the Byronic hero. A reflection that surely must know. How is it my perception became so blurred? Not understanding my own mind is assured! I…

  • As Long As It Makes Everyone Else Happy

    Why do we always have to find a love, Always out to search, always on the prowl. Being alone with nothing else to think of, Hunting throughout the night like a starved owl. The selfish hunt that consumes our one life, Meant to end in fulfillment – but instead, Eats our time to find a…

    Stars and Butterflies

    He walks into the room and I am surrounded by stars and butterflies. His air, his smell, his appearance is even greater than the loveliest of nights. He shines brighter than the moon and his confidence sparkles with the stars. I am his forever if he will shine his light towards me. He is almost…

  • Reset

    Reset

    Tension slowly eased out of my shoulders, and my toes dug deep into the warm sand. My toes dug deep into the warm sand, My mind gone blank as I shut my brown eyes. My mind gone blank as I shut my brown eyes, Filling it with the sounds of the the rushed tide. Filling…

  • A Second Glance

    A Second Glance

    Sipping on wine and setting up this game. Then you come along and announce your name. I am offended by your confidence and ashamed of your stance, And that was my judgement at first glance. Yet upon another, Your eyes tell me this is where kindness dwells, And the deeper I look, the more my…
