It made me feel like a vile woman craving it the way I did. The yearning to be captured with it while it devoured my senses with a hunger to eradicate the inner void. Seducing me with an unyielding power as it surged throughout my veins. I loved feeling naked within its grasp. A resurgence Read more
I have always lived life by my rule book,Noncompliant to your divisive needs,Facing the scrutiny as a scorned mistress. Aching from the leather of your lashes,I knelt down to the heavens and prayed,Cultivating a vigor to rise above the flaming ashes. I would watch it burn a thousand times,To revel in the truth for which Read more
Folding up his laundry and placing it in his dresser drawer, the presence of spring was vibrant and ready. The smell of fresh linen drifting throughout the room as a breeze from the outside wafts in. Taking a few moments break and walking towards the window, he glances out into the small crowd of people Read more
It is often the illusion of a lie that cuts the deepest.A seed planted within the corners of the heart craving for a chance to grow,Expanding its roots until it is intertwined deep within the pulsating veins,Unified as one while the entire chasm begins to ache. A false belief of hope bellowing throughout its walls,Praying Read more
I will travel the world with you in all its endless beauty,To the peaks of mountain ranges to gaze upon what we have built together,Through sand dunes and ocean waves enduring the vitality of the elements. Even in the darkest places I will carry on towards your guiding light,From all the spaces in between we Read more
If I had missed the exact moment serendipity occurred before me, I am almost certain life would’ve passed me by. I would’ve had to wait another lifetime to finally connect with the resounding vibration that destiny laid before my feet.

Entering a crowded room as your eyes meet my gaze.Your presence always takes my breath away. How is it that you always make me feel like I’ve been found? I can never resist your intoxicating energy.I just want to be next to you.Standing there innocently you smile and wave me over. It’s times like these Read more
Laying here in this moment my mind retraces its steps down a long corridor.Embracing the walls as the metal from a proverbial bullet grazes my heart – I am triggered.My chest pounds while my mind races endlessly; how easy it is to lose all control.Gasping for the air to refill my lungs, I cannot divert Read more
My heart always hoped that someday I would find it, A viable translation of a spoken language ceasing to be remembered, By minds who no longer fluently resonated with its underlying tone. Many times, I planted roots in soil I thought would eventually grow, A discovery which required more than sunlight and water to Read more
Today I celebrate the occasion. The precious moment when this uphill battle I’ve been fighting allows me to gain a few more steps forward, securing a strong foothold. As if the ground has chosen to cease its forceful steep incline leveling out into a flat plateau. I can finally breathe without gasping for air. Moving Read more
It became the adventure my soul searched endlessly for, Tirelessly through the thickening of the brush filled forest.Decay settling in all around, as it nourished off the fruits of the Earth;The barren lands no longer had its potent and gifted elixir. Markings revealed themselves across my saturated skin,As I bathed in the rushing water that Read more
There’s a part of me that is thankful that in the end it was always you. The soul that was so willingly filled with tenderness, which loved both the light & dark parts of me when I struggled to even find an ounce to cherish. An older version of myself would’ve allowed another person’s criticism Read more
