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

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

Passing Ships

in the quiet corners of my heart
I kept a flame burning 
a tender light 
that belonged solely to you 
it danced and flickered 
casting shadows of hope 
across the walls of my soul
illuminating a path 
for only you and I

but in your words 
I felt a distance 
a reflection of a love 
not quite the same 
it was as if our hearts 
were ships passing in the night 
destined for different shores

and I guess the hardest part
of this is learning to accept
that not all loves are the same

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
