“I hold it true, whate’er befall;I feel it, when I sorrow most;‘Tis better to have loved and lostThan never to have loved at all.”-Alfred Lord Tennyson Months ago, I was once told by a person of interest that she simply couldn’t go forward with dating anymore in general because she had gotten word from oneContinue reading “Love & Lost”

Serein Revisited
Serein was her name. It was gifted to her by whispers of the autumn winds… The voices whistled through the rigid and sharpened exteriors of the evergreen trees… Their physical features could only hold secrets of life between the seasons, you must walk within the forrest to listen. What were the winds telling us? TheContinue reading “Serein Revisited”
I Surrender
I surrender… Like the sands of time equilibrate, succumbing to gravity. Filling my head with intangible things. Like memories. The kind that perpetuates creativity… Inspire me like daffodil petals separate and blown in the wind.

Daylyte
I no longer the need to witness the sun rays again… Darkness encompassed me like auburn rain. Drenched in blood, the streets shall know nothing of mortal footsteps for those days are long gone. Yellow streetlights are the new day, as it harkened the distant wails of punished souls forever spawned. Lay me down, gentlyContinue reading “Daylyte”
10 Drowning Street
I looked up into the cloudless sky, your name impels the call of the sirens throughout the seven seas…The abundance of water droplets tells me how much you love me.I lay on my back and felt the support of the surface tension; I faced the warmth of the noonday sun as it mellowed me.I pursedContinue reading “10 Drowning Street”

Reverie
Reverie I share a lot of things with my therapist.One of those things I personally tend to share the most, are the times of grief.What is the purpose of it?Why does it feel so tumultuous at times?I’d express irrational feelings saying that I wish there was a cure for it.Most of the time, I’d frameContinue reading “Reverie”
Anxiety poem
Hi … Anxiety Episode 👋🏾 Maraschino cherry brigade, toting cannons, the size of canyons, shooting binary bullets, turning sons to granddaughters, spreading unnecessary evil like propaganda and licorice strips across the hot pavement. We are unstoppable. The devil will grant you many wishes, but it comes with a price… I can think of many things,Continue reading “Anxiety poem”
Gravity
Gravity The one and only thing that never lets me down. Makes me see the clarity upon situations. Enduring the sheer weight of the world upon my shoulders, they can only handle so much. I may have fallen many times, but I have risen every single time. The more cumbersome the weight, the sweeter theContinue reading “Gravity”
Sand Castles
Sand Castles I’ve put up walls so far up to a point, that I no longer could see the apex. I can still sense and feel the warmth of sunshine, so there is still hope. You can get close to me, but not too close. For I see no point in building something that’ll oneContinue reading “Sand Castles”
Invisible Sun
Invisible Sun ☀️ The sun shone invisible rays across the sky. Across the vastness of infinite darkness. Soon spanned throughout our bubble of reality… So fragile and so minute. A little escape from the rain. A moment of clarity inundated our senses. Our sun are in hues of yellow. It warms us, Comforts us, HealsContinue reading “Invisible Sun”
Kintsugi
Flowers lay at her feet,Sunshine basqued in her hair.The flow of nature goes hand in hand with time.Mother and father knows best…Her sigh has apprised the absolute truth.No lies within the cracks, just silver linings.She had been broken with such care..She celebrated with a dance in the passing winds, the directions have shifted; melancholy isContinue reading “Kintsugi”
Dark Love
I will fall in love 5 years from now. Once limerence have weaned, that’s where true love begin.. Reality has settled like the most fertile of soils. A beautiful garden will rise again. She will be an idealization of my healed existence. Strongly independent, she does not need me, but she will want me. SheContinue reading “Dark Love”
Tapestry
If God were to wear clothes, what materials would be used to make it?Would it be the softest of linens, or the harshest of burlap?Would it just be nothing at all…in reflection of the creation of Adam and Eve for they initially wore nothing at all…They have partaken the forbidden fruit; in which it conceivedContinue reading “Tapestry”
Blue Dragon
Dragon flies, Fire fruit and Burning Incense Were strewn across the rustic table like morbid ornaments. Burning paper of embers evanesce into the air like the pages of the forbidden book of spells..Transparent glass like wings, divided by intricate veins and organic lines, reminding me that it once was a living creature.It had lived aContinue reading “Blue Dragon”
Tears of Joy
Tears of joy… Can the trails of my tears surpass the deepened depths of my soul? Dug in deep into the soil of forgiveness. Propagate the growth of openness of trust again… They fall as they may into a downward spiral, of the ever churning waters. I’m left dry for I have no more sorrowContinue reading “Tears of Joy”
Watercolors
Watercolors We see the same things Uncertainties abound Rains of crystals fall among us Our love story unabridged with only subtle callings for grace… I understood you without speaking Your lyrics are lovely..

Gaza Revisited
Desperation“Speak softly and carry a big stick.”~Theodore Rosevelt. He was facing East, he was searching for all the answers; on his knees, uncomfortably on the jagged sharp edges of gigantic pieces of a once existed edifice. A desperate father cried out his children’s names towards the sound absorbing hardened dust, only greeted with the memoriesContinue reading “Gaza Revisited”
Self Reflection
I exist solely between two planes of glass. My imagery is impeccable as it shows your flaws and frailties… there’s cracks in the mirror. A direct reflection of all the things I wanted to be, all the beautiful things I wanted to see, and all the sensations I wanted to feel. I wanted to beContinue reading “Self Reflection”
Be Patient
If you truly love somebody, give them their independence. And if they love you freely it’s because they choose to love you, and that’s real love.Codependency and control has nothing to do with love. It only feeds into the insecurities, satiates the ego; propagating an atmosphere equipped with eggshells, second guesses and guilt.The universe isn’tContinue reading “Be Patient”
The Yearn
The yearn… I am accepting that when myNeeds and standards aren’t met, I will fade. I know this much to continue to do self care and invest in myself. The wane of my current situation is inevitable and I will be internally prompted to be drawn to elements that will be beneficial to me. FeedContinue reading “The Yearn”
Shedding Some Light
I see things differently over time.People, to me play a role as if scripted. As they provided me insight.My interactions vary, depending on my mood at the time.My mood has been numb for the past several months…Most times, I’ve uncharacteristically reacted the polar opposite of what people might expect of me.I don’t take life asContinue reading “Shedding Some Light”
