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

Hollow spaces
the gentle touch
of your hand
and the warmth
of your embrace
still lingers upon my skin
like phantom whispers
haunting the hollow spaces
that still live within
I close my eyes and surrender
to the tide of emotions
that wash over me
as I long for your voice
to dance upon my ears once more
time a relentless thief
has taken you away
and what we once shared
echoes in the silence
of the tears I cry
until we meet again
I’ll hold on to
to those small pieces
of your memory
and pray the universe
will answer my silent plea
Delicate ink
in the faded pages
of this old book
memories danced
in delicate ink
within those worn lines
the scent of a forgotten summer
hung in the air
mingling with the crisp pages
every turn revealed pieces
of a life once lived
etching the essence of existence
onto blank paper
it cradled whispered secrets
and the echoes of a soul
reaching for the infinite
and as the story unfolds
its final page beckons
reminding me
to savor the present
for it too shall become
just another memory
Vivid hues
like a brushstroke
upon this bare canvas
love paints the world
in vivid hues
it invites the fingers
to glide gently
along the velvety texture
of a rose petal
to taste the sweetness
of ripe fruits
to savor the warmth
of a lover’s embrace
it lures the nose
to inhale deeply
the fragrant scent
of blooming flowers
the earth after a rain storm
and the faint traces
of distant memories
that will eternally live within
these walls of my soul
The silence that follows
goodbye
a dance of shadows
the ones of you and I
an intricate ballet
in the depths of night
each step we take
is filled with hesitation
as we move apart
leaving behind little pieces
of what used to be
it’s the silence that follows
that will forever be engraved
into this broken heart
Mosaic of moments
in the heartbeat of memories
where time surrenders
whispers of the past
float on a gentle breath
a tapestry woven
with threads of forgotten days
the past just a symphony
of fragmented melodies
echoing through the corridors
of my mind
and with each day that passes
I’ll remember
you and I this way
a mosaic of moments
stitched together for a lifetime
Etched together
you and I are just
time in a bottle
slowly slipping through
a brief moment
of this boundless space
until we are only
beautiful grains of sand
quietly settled
into the universe
intertwined
of flesh and bone
where we are timelessly
etched together
for all of eternity
The fabrics of life
I watched her fold the fabric
neatly and gather it gently
under my peaceful face
I remember her hands
comfortable and tender
tucking me away in bed
telling me stories
of Kings and Queens
and a land far far away
the way her mouth would smile
as she reached the end
of the fairytale
I remember the softness
of her voice
as whispers of goodnight
filled my sleepy head
and as I drift off to dream
that’s how I’ll remember her
in the quietness of the silence
that’s where she will live
for eternity
Dancing shadows
sometimes the night
secretly finds me
dreaming of the dancing
shadows of you and I
and I know
that at least in dreams
I’ll love you
with just a little bit
of everything that consumes me
Luminous

standing at the window
she reads their love letters
to the universe
an infinite reflection
of who she was
staring back at her
as the colors of the moon
paint a luminous mural
across the room
the thought of him
comes flooding back through her
like it was just yesterday
and the goodbye
hurts just the same
a promise once made
now
just a bitter-sweet memory
