Enough

their souls have danced together
intertwined in a love 
that seemed destined for eternity
yet life’s unpredictable waves
led them to different paths
she realized that love 
was not always about possessing
but sometimes about releasing
and with a heavy heart
she knew she had to set him free
letting go of someone you truly love 
is perhaps one of life’s greatest challenges
and she knew  
that she would always carry 
a piece of him within her
and hopefully
that would be enough

Gentle whispers

in the blink
of a thousand wishes
I can still feel you
as your gentle fingertips 
graze the contours of my skin 
it is as if the universe has conspired 
to create a moment 
that only we exist in
it is a delicate dance of energy
where skin meets skin
and vibrations ripple through 
my very essence 
the weight of your touch lingers 
like gentle whispers
upon my skin
and I know this love story
will forever be
written upon the pages
of my soul

Within a dream

within a dream
of a dream
I dream of you
behind closed eyes
and in the darkest
of darkness
I find you there
and confess one by one
the depths of my love
visible and bare
peeling back
layer by layer
everything I am
everything I use to be
and I am holding on so tighty
to what’s left of time
because once this dream is over
what will be left
of us

Pure beauty

I at times
cannot fathom 
the pure beauty
of your symmetry
the way your eyes
trace every curve of my body
leaving no place untouched
and your voice
slowly dances down 
the arch of my back
resting in every pore 
upon my naked flesh
your touch is every secret
that hides beneath your soul
and your love paints me
the most beautiful picture
that I’ve ever seen

Weathered Bench

*Photo is my own*

time stretches 
like a fragile thread 
as I sit alone 
on this weathered bench
in these moments 
of suspended existence
I find myself caught 
between the past and present
the ticking of the clock 
becomes a resounding echo 
amplifying the echoes 
of my thoughts 
each second 
a drop in the hourglass
falls with a measured cadence
and I wait patiently 
for the arrival of that someone 
who promises 
to breathe life into my silence

Ink and paper

in the realm of ink and paper
I seek solace in the rhythm
as the thoughts slowly find
the tips of my fingers 
with words as my palette
and metaphors as my guide
I embark on a journey
where love and poetry meet
like a gentle breeze 
on a summer’s eve 
love softly whispers its tune
caressing the depths of my soul
I dip my quill in passion’s ink
and let the verses flow
it’s there I see you
upon these empty pages
and as the breath of life
passes through my layers
pieces of you
of me
of us
will be forever written
inside this heartbeat of mine
