Three Haikus: Nine Nights
F.P.E. Freshly brewed iced tea Poured over sour lemon Encrusted with ice chunks Forlorn owl fly Past the bruised pearl moon over Eternal stars burning black Fake tongue stumbling Pry natural words from my mouth Easily come forth A.L.H. Ash to ash, blinding Lava spit unto the sky Heaven bound to Earth Alive and breathing…

Weapon
Feelings are a weapon. Good news is, they don’t cut. Bad news is that they’re blunt. Your words don’t make me bleed. They pierce my skin and crush my bones. Resentment, anger, hatred. These are the things my mind wants me to feel. But this thing in my chest won’t allow me to. You take…

Wings Of Spring
Today, I woke up, To the melodious sane, Twittering on the Hawthorn tree, Just by my windowpane… Reflecting the Sun’s warm hug, With a warmth so pure, Embraced my wretched soul To find solace in nature’s cure… For the tears have now dried, And my heart bears weight no more, So, I gently propped my…

Take Care As You Fall In Love

The Midnight Retrospection
“The day you stop racing is the day you win the race.” This is the quote I read at 4 A.M. while scrolling through Instagram, which, perhaps, changed my life. As a teenager, everybody around me, including myself, is always concerned with who I want to become. We’re too invested in who we will be…

My Clarity
In this insane world You’re my sanity, One I thought I’d never regain On this path You’re my destination. In this darkness You’re my light, A light I’ll gladly follow My words are not just words They become reality through you On my heart, you wrote your name A name forever stamped within me. In…

Love At First Glance
One wintery morning in early March, I bumped into a handsome guy while walking my golden retriever, Honey. The caramel latte I was carrying in my hand spilled all over the new light pink coat my grandmother gave me for Christmas. The guy blushed and said, “Sorry, I didn’t see you there. My name is…
