Timeless dance

in the realm of time
love stitches moments together
weaving a story 
that transcends the boundaries 
of seconds and hours 
it’s the timeless dance 
of your heart and mine
where every beat echoes 
through the corridors of forever
and each memory becomes a chapter 
etched in the book of eternity
and long after we are gone
from this vast space
our love will remain freely
in the eternal embrace of this moment
defying the hands that attempt 
to measure its depth

A thousand burdens

parts of her still live
within that house
where stale smoke 
still lingers in every corner
like a hazy memory
those thin walls
conceal all her secrets 
from the prying eyes
of the world
old dirty floorboards 
hold all her tears
that she counts
one by one
inside the grooves
that they live in
it’s the weight
of a thousand burdens
that keep her chained there
and all she can do now
is close her eyes
and remember  
she doesn’t live there anymore

In her heart

and beyond the horizon
an emptiness settled in her chest 
the space he once occupied 
now felt hollow and desolate 
the rhythm of her heartbeat echoed 
with a melancholic melody
a testament to the absence 
that now defined her reality
and though their time 
was but a mere flicker
a blink of an eye
it felt like a lifetime 
in her heart

Grains of sand

time
woven with the threads 
of moments forever in motion 
yet elusive to grasp
it dances through the universe
painting stories of who we are 
it shapes our life 
each tick of the clock 
is a heartbeat of existence
a reminder that life 
is but a single breath 
as fleeting moments 
slip through our fingers
like grains of sand
and before you know
all that is left
are the memories
of you and I

One last sunrise

*picture is my own photography*

the spaces you left behind 
are now filled with echoes 
of our past 
a bittersweet symphony 
of what was 
and what could have been
as time marches on
the ache of missing you remains 
in the quiet moments
when the world around me 
is so still and silent 
I find myself searching 
for glimpses of you 
in the everything

and I wish I could 
I could just have 
one last moment with you
one last chance to share
one last sunrise

13 Years

Wow, another year here on WP, doing what I love… Poetry. Writing about love and loss, life, the world, nearly everything. It’s incredible the amount of talented people that I’ve met here. Like seriously talented. However, that aside, I’ve met the most beautiful people here. I wish I could name you all, but I’ve been fortunate enough to get to know some of you outside of WP and one in person (M ❤️) To my best friend Christopher, thank you for your true friendship, the in depth conversations, all the collabs we have done and the beautiful and exciting project we are working on. 

I’ve lost a lot here too. Not just in the blog world but in my own, some are just more devastating than others in many ways. I’ve cried too many times, laughed, loved so much, grown up here really. Life has been hard, it’s been wonderful, heartbreaking, incredible, trying and fun, but I’m still here. Writing along. Continuing this writing journey with YOU beautiful souls. I am so thankful for all your love and support of my blog, it truly means so much to me.

friends are the vibrant threads 
that weave moments into memories
like stars in the night sky 
they illuminate our journey
friends are the laughter 
that dances in the air 
the comforting presence 
in times of need
and you all have become
the keepers of my most
cherished chapters

Fleeting dream

you drift 
through the contours 
of my mind 
haunting my senses 
with the memory 
of what could have been
your presence lingers
yet remains intangible
eluding my grasp
like a fleeting dream at dawn
it’s as though we exist 
in different dimensions

could it be 
that we are merely souls 
passing through each other’s lives
destined to brush closely 
but never intertwine

or is there more
to our beautiful love story
