Colored In Red
Painted in iridescence . . . . I see colors, Vibrant and true. I see colors, Bleeding through. Hues of black, and blue, Dripping with reds, Mixed in with whites, Painting a pretty disguise. I watched, Stories dipped in grey, Formed from the ashes of their own decay. I watched, Lies oozing black, A sulfurous […]
Unbound and Unclaimed
A tale that transcends time . . . She danced Upon the sunny dunes, Twirled beneath the shady trees. Her hair blew behind her, A stormy cloud. I watched enchanted, The beats of the daf Matched the beats of my heart. Her arms moved gracefully, Fingers tracing a passionate story only few could read. The […]
Violet Desires
Your needs painted upon my soul . . . I met you ages ago, An eternity perhaps. Maybe I always knew you, A loving secret, Kept under wraps. I met you when time ceased to exist, When worlds collapsed. Breathless, I reached out to you, The world glowed in embers. We watched captivated, Entranced. […]
Of Lost Dreams
We can be a princess, We can be a queen, We can be everything in between. We will slay dragons, Fight with kings, Win battles and wear pretty things. Dreams by the dozen we carry, Fields of wildflowers and trees of cherry. Dancing and twirling amongst the stars, Sliding down rainbows, Driving shiny cars. […]
Friends and Enemies
Welcome to the lonely zone. Having friends is like growing plants. It requires love, care, attention and occasionally pouring water. In the end you enjoy the fruits of your labor. But this is where the similarities end, because then comes the scary part, keeping friends. This is where I struggle. I am not the best […]
To Feel
It’s easy to sink, rather than swim. The words pull me under. I keep moving adrift, my mind torn asunder. The water consumes, hungry and starved. Nothing left behind. I pushed you away, kept you safe. Yet you say, there’s no love in my eye. The waves crashed, a thunderous roar. My words lost to […]
Conversational Conundrums
There is no method to this madness. Talking is taxing enough on its’ own but having conversations is hard, mostly because there are so many unspoken rules to it and none that we are familiar with. For me it’s always a little tricky to navigate the conversational channels, mostly because I end up tipping over […]
The Morning Light
The morning light transcends dreams, Its’ nimble fingers dancing across the eyes’. Playful with delight. Feverish and bright, dragging at our sleep. Battling with nightmares, Breathing warmth into our mindscape, And leaving all fantasies incomplete. Unsatisfied I wake, Chasing shadows and smoke. Trying to catch the wisps of fading dreams, Realities that could have […]
Getting Things Done: A Saga of Incomplete Work
Let’s take a “break” shall we. I clean my table, clear up the clutter, set everything in place and once done, promptly take a break. There is no reason for me to do so, I am not tired, nor have I actually accomplished anything, it’s just the thought of actually doing something gets me exhausted. […]
Reflections In An Empty Classroom
“Bye teacher! See you tomorrow!”, yelled Jess as she hugged me and ran off with her friend into the arms of her mother who was waiting outside to take them home. Sighing, I got up and stretched, the exhaustion of the day finally settling in. I looked around the empty classroom, it was a mess. […]
