POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
illuminating the sky
Everyone longs for sunlight
as it lights up our days,
but I long for the moon
as it illuminates the night sky.
It brightens people in their darkest hours
and acts as a beacon of hope
for those who forgot what sunshine felt like.

She is made up of thoughts no one can comprehend;
her mind is a timeline of nostalgia and loneliness,
and her heart is a inspiration for the hopeful.
She is the prettiest song,
the perfect rhythm,
the most beautiful poem,
and the longest book.
It takes a while to read her pages,
hours to relate to her poetry,
seconds to love her music,
and a lifetime to forget her.

seasons
She had always dreamed of being president,
independent and powerful is what she longed for.
Around sixteen her dreams shifted,
all she dreamed of was the feeling of euphoria.
She chased after it will all her might.
Night after night she would dive further and further from the person she was meant to be,
until it finally took her last breathe.
In the end all that was left was a wilted flower,
crushed of its hopes and dreams.
Torn apart by the seasons.

A Bond Broken
In the midst
of the world ending,
we stared at each other
and it was as if
we could outlast the rest.
Our unspoken love
could surpass anything,
as long as we stayed in sync.
Then a car passed by
and his gaze shifted.
My heart immediately dropped,
our bond had been broken.
The magic we shared
had floated off into the midnight air.
When his gaze fixed back on mine,
he looked like a stranger.
Distant
and
foreign.

vulnerable
Never have I felt safer
then in your arms.
As your hand gently rubs my back
a flame travels,
burning my skin
with the immensity of your touch.
I can feel your eyes on me
as I rest my head on your
soft and warm skin.
I'm scared to look up
because I know this shouldn't be happening
but it is and I can't stop it.
I slowly lift my head
and our eyes meet for the first time
since we killed the air between us.
My stomach is in knots as you stare deeply into my eyes.
Slowly you reach forward ...
then in your arms.

Reflection
Each night she looked outside her window.
Searching for something.
Searching for anything.
Any sign of hope that there was another
lost soul out there waiting for love,
waiting for her.
Each night all she saw was the streetlight
shining bright on the lonely road.
Ten years passed by.
Then one night she realized what she
was looking for was staring at her all this time.
She had found love after all these lonely years
and not just love between a man and women
but love within herself.
Each night after that she...
