There’s something about it
The sound of water
Waves rolling
Fountains dancing
Boats dipping
Ripples moving
Something that warms
That feels like home
And never fails
To make me smile

Open ● POEM
The moment she opened up
When she let you see her
Was not when she undressed
Or when she let her skin
Be touched by your fingers
It was when she bared her soul
When she looked into your eyes
And allowed you to see

Floating Promise ● POEM
I whispered into bubbles
Let my dreams float
Watching them reach
Towards the very sky
With a silent promise
That so would I

Upside Down ● POEM
When the eyes that saw you
Looks away
The touch that tingled
No longer reaches
You might find yourself
Feeling lost
In places known
Because the lips that kissed
Formed the words
That broke you
And the whole world
Turned upside down

Silver Lining • POEM
All of the looks
The words and kisses
Before I even knew
I’d fallen into the trap
Lost in a present
That looked like the past
•
All of the questions
The answers I feared
And did not want
They were the truth
The pain I needed
To finally move on

Lights of Memory • POEM
Under lights of memories
She told stories to the waves
They left her with a promise
Of paths to cross once again

Seconds ● POEM
It’s enough to start something
I like you
Enough to define something
I love you
Enough to end something
It’s over
Enough to close the gap
I miss you
Enough to increase the distance
I let you go

Shedding Layers ● POEM
Like the unbecoming of a pearl
With every drop of salt
She shed another layer
Of what had been
But every new smile
was a promise of what
Was yet to come

Familiar Taste ● POEM
Sometimes I look for clues
At the bottom of my whisky glass
But all I find is the familiar taste of
The beginning of the end

On the Mend ● POEM
All around was chaos
She searched but could not find
The feelings she remembered
The quiet in her mind
☼
Lost in streets familiar
Places she should know
Now there’s only strangers
In places she won’t go
☼
Curled up in the lonely
She tries to find her way
Wishing for a guiding sign
Back to a brighter day
☼
Tiny whispers in the dark
Said this is not the end
You are not forever lost
But you are on the mend
