My reflection

I catch glimpses of myself
little fragments in the mirror
I see someone
both familiar and strange
the face holds stories
some clear
some blurred
and others yet to be told
there’s a comfort
in the known lines
a restlessness
in the unfamiliar shadows
my reflection changes as I do
revealing not just who I’ve been
but hints of who I might become
every single glance
asks me the same silent question

are you the person you thought you would be

Pieces of her

pieces of her 
scattered into the universe
like stars torn from the night sky
each fragment
a whisper of who she once was
drifts quietly among galaxies 
some shimmer softly in the distance 
while others burn brightly
leaving trails of light in the infinite dark 
and though she is temporary
the universe knows her name 
weaving her fragments 
into its endless story 
piece by piece 
breath by breath

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

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

Eternal last dance

it was the final dance 
the waltz of destiny
enticing two souls to embrace 
sharing the fleeting moments 
they had left
the pull was undeniable 
the world around them blurred 
fading into the background 
as their bodies moved
in perfect harmony
their steps whispered a story
each twirl and dip 
was a cherished memory 
engraved in the hands of time
and as the final notes 
of their dance drew near
their souls entwined
in an eternal dance
a silent confession of a love 
that would forever remain
for in that final twirl 
they had etched an indelible memory
a legacy of a last dance
that would forever
illuminate their souls

This melody

I close my eyes and smile
as I feel the strumming
of the music
flowing across my skin
remembering the time we danced
your lips making promises
for your body to keep
time slows
and my hips sway
in rhythm with your own
and I know
in this perfect moment
I’ll never feel 
the harmony of this melody
quite like this
again

I love you

it’s in these quiet moments
when we’re sitting there alone
waiting for the other’s words to come
that I’m reminded just how much
I love you
I cherish you
I adore you
when the world 
finally feels small enough to inhale
to fill my lungs with the very breath of you
and breathe in your essence
to feel alive as I close my eyes
no worries of yesterday
for that day is no longer
no fear of tomorrow
because that day never comes
it’s the right here, right now
that is all that truly matters
these are the moments 
we should live inside
these are the moments
of you and I
