The winter of discontent is still upon me, Spring has not quite sprung, Pink blossom does not line the roads, Only dead leaves and baron trees. My mood does reflect the weather, Awash with emotions like erratic waves. Soon, I will bask in the sunshine, And see the daffodils bloom, For now, I must hold…

Everywhere I turn There’s a shadow that lingers, Your memories are ever present Before my very eyes You radiate like the beauty you are You are the reason I write. In every moment You become my very purpose, A reason God created me Is to be near you My every breath Is tied to you…

I lost my spark. Somewhere in between trying to reach perfection and neglecting my needs to become someone I was not meant to be. The way back was long and rocky. But with a lot of love, patience, and understanding, I slowly but surely found my way back. Promising to never be so cruel towards…

64 years ago Our nation came to be, Her cradle was blessed by God From her youth, she was called Her sisters welcomed her with joy A joy worth celebrating. Among her daughters All were blessed in beauty, Amidst her scars, gold flowed On her head, a crown was placed What else could she ask…

 A boy’s two hands in the middle of my back  Didn’t bother me one bit.  Even if the force was strong.  Even if I fell to the ground.  I’d get right back up Back to the line of scrimmage.  Yes, I know what that means.  I did as a child, too.  I’m not one of…

Beneath the night sky, So bright and clear, A gentle breeze whispers, That my lady is here. The effervescent fragrance of love, Dances with serenity in the air. Envisioning our expected beautiful memories, Her eyes water with joyful tears. In tranquil calm, I stand and behold, My fairy goddess, That glints past gold. Then, softly,…

Step outside, cheeks flush red Suddenly, mornings have that chilling air Sunrays try their might To peek through the clouded sky My feet pit and pat on top of the dusty pebble trail Along the little lake, the birds are calming down Two bird watchers sit upon a bench Talking while the day’s still new…

I hear two of you in my mind, one a feeble flickering ember and the other an inferno, an unquenchable blaze of frenzy. The ember can only inevitably wither and succumb to the weight of never becoming a blaze; Only too aware it will never be a beacon, never bright enough to scorch, or savage…

I do not wish to miss you,  Yet I miss you with every breath I take,  I do not yearn to reach for you,  Yet your name rests upon my lips, a whispered ache.  The distance between us is an ocean vast,  Its waves break heavy against the shores of my soul,  But when I…
