  • Take Yourself Off Clearance

    Take Yourself Off Clearance

    You are too beautiful To accept half love You are too wonderful To get less than you deserve You are too bright To accept anything less than greatness You are too wonderful To have terrible people in your life You should be worshipped Like the Goddess you are Loved like you are the only person…

  • The Phantom I Keep

    The Phantom I Keep

    From my favorite song You came forth, My dreams turned dark All I thought was true You made them seem false. I bear no hatred against you My heart bleeds out, My soul wants freedom But I’m too entangled to you All I see now is a mirage. Once I called you my oasis Now…

  • The Undoing

    The Undoing

    Of everything she ever was In one moment It all made sense All the grief The chaos Wasn’t for nothing To become her true self Patterns were revealed To be changed, now past tense The carriage of misjustice Poor treatment Stifled her from thriving All the bad choices weren’t hers A mixture of bad guidance…

  • The Sea And My Wishes

    The Sea And My Wishes

    Salty air fuels my heart with familiarity, like I’m coming home again after a long day away from my destiny. I touch the stones under the sea the only bridge we still share I throw them far as they can go to send my warmth out there The sea cradles birds like a mother nurturing…

  • Quiet Labor

    Quiet Labor

    The quiet labor of Anna’s hummingbird fascinates me, a bird with a wash of ruby-pink at its throat, and a heart smaller than a thumb. Still brave enough to leave its nest each morning. The hummingbird moves in search of flowers through rows of trees, electric towers, lakes, much larger than its two bronze-green wings…

  • Her

    Her

    She met me when I needed her the most. She is the light; she’s the hope. Always by my side. I felt like I didn’t give her enough time and was clinging to the past, but she was there through it all. Being in the past and feeling sad felt like cheating with her, the…

  • Pizza, Marry Me

    Pizza, Marry Me

    Oh, pizza! You’re so fine. You blow my mind I get such an urge for your culinary delight My senses are about to explode The smell of your savory perfume Makes me inhale deeply The fusion of flavors upon my tongue Makes me crave you so much more Seeing your creamy, melting cheese Reminds me…

  • The Moon

    The Moon

    The moon The moon is what we share The moon sees both of us Without saying a word It must be hard The moon The moon saw me awake When I was supposed to be asleep The moon saw my eyes too open When I needed them shut The moon The moon is witnessing Every…

  •  How Do You Know

     How Do You Know

    It started as a talk Just before dawn I went on and on Like the chatterbox I was Till the clock struck four. How could you know It was all my fault? The bathroom door was unlocked A clear invitation for you to crawl in Break rules, you can never mold How do you know…
