  • 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

    Death of a Lily

  • Stars and Butterflies

    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
