Last dance

under a dimming sky
they swayed in a quiet rhythm
steps worn soft by memory
the world around them fell silent
just the whisper of her dress
and his steady breath
filling the cool air
shadows stretched longer
the music slowing
as they held each other close
feeling the weight of time
in each step
the last note lingered
and they stood still
clinging to that final moment
before the night took them back

Beautiful interlude

you were a season of light
in my days
a beautiful interlude
where everything seemed to pause
in its perfect place
the world felt softer with you
each moment brighter
like we were two notes
in a song
that only we could hear
and though time moves on
I will always carry the warmth of you
my most beautiful chapter

Shattered

the past lingers like shards of glass
cutting where memories are still tender
broken shadows gather in corners
slipping between moments like ghosts
each step forward tugs at hidden wounds
where echoes of voices
whisper in the stillness
it is a quiet ache
a reminder that what was shattered
cannot be pieced back
it remains a haunting within
stitched to the bones
fading but never truly gone

Pieces of you

losing someone special 
is like the sky losing its brightest star
the world continues to turn
but the light is dimmer
and the nights are longer
your absence echoes 
in every familiar place
a quiet reminder of a love 
that lingers in the spaces 
they once filled
time slowly moves forward
but a piece of their heart stays behind
holding onto the moments we once shared

Time

time slipped through her fingers like sand 
each grain a moment lost to the past
she watched days blend into nights
seasons pass in a blur
and the years weave an intricate dance
of memories and regrets
the ticking clock echoed in the silence
a constant reminder of what was gone
and what could never be again
in the quiet of her heart
she mourned not the minutes she had
but the moments she missed
lost to the relentless march of time

Paper memories

paper memories 
fragile and timeless
hold the essence of our journey 
they are the faded love letters 
tucked away in a drawer
the ones I read
over and over again
just to replay your words
to smell the scent 
of each letter
hoping they will fill
the cracks in my broken heart
and I wish I could have
just one more moment with you
because I’d never let you go
again

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
