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

A Thousand Dreams – A Collaboration

This is a collaboration I did with my best friend Christopher. This has been in the works for a long time now and we are finally releasing it. If you’d love to meet him and read his journey, please visit him HERE. I love you bestie! Thank you for allowing me to write with you again. 

inside the breath of summer
I find myself dancing
to the color of our love
and in the blink
of a thousand dreams
your breeze 
leaves me at peace

Raindrops

*Photo is my own*

in the gentle embrace 
of morning’s caress
a solitary flower 
makes its presence  
its delicate petals wide open
revealing the life it holds
each slender curve
and exquisite detail 
speaks of nature’s artistry
beauty that flourishes 
in even the humblest
corners of existence
raindrops
like liquid diamonds
cling to the flower’s velvety surface 
suspended in time
they glisten like precious memories 
captured in nature’s fragile vessel
each beautiful drop
holds a story of its own 
bearing the weight
of whispered secrets 
gathered during long conversations 
between petals and breeze

Weathered Bench

*Photo is my own*

time stretches 
like a fragile thread 
as I sit alone 
on this weathered bench
in these moments 
of suspended existence
I find myself caught 
between the past and present
the ticking of the clock 
becomes a resounding echo 
amplifying the echoes 
of my thoughts 
each second 
a drop in the hourglass
falls with a measured cadence
and I wait patiently 
for the arrival of that someone 
who promises 
to breathe life into my silence

Ink and paper

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

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

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
