Dreams in Wind
The wind blew all my reasons why,
why I stay through all that dies,
in hope and love and happiness,
blow through trees of my unrest.
Trees stark white with naked limbs,
bending towards my dreams in wind,
wind that holds the northern shades,
of all my dreams that never fade.
I wish that we could see them leave
my outstretched hands of what I need.
Maybe then you’d shed a tear
and light the fuse to all you fear.
But love just doesn’t seem to care,
to crush the dreams of my despair.
The ones I push with...
why I stay through all that dies,
in hope and love and happiness,
blow through trees of my unrest.
Trees stark white with naked limbs,
bending towards my dreams in wind,
wind that holds the northern shades,
of all my dreams that never fade.
I wish that we could see them leave
my outstretched hands of what I need.
Maybe then you’d shed a tear
and light the fuse to all you fear.
But love just doesn’t seem to care,
to crush the dreams of my despair.
The ones I push with...

To My Greatest Love
You will forever be my greatest love,
and my greatest heartbreak.
I never wanted to leave you—
or that crying boy,
alone.
How I wish I could’ve wiped
every tear from your youth,
if I were your mother,
I would’ve loved you endlessly.
We would’ve wandered through museums,
watched every art show,
and I would’ve read to you every night.
I would’ve taught you that beauty is in the beholder,
but even when we can’t see it,
it’s everywhere,
in everything,
and everyone—...
and my greatest heartbreak.
I never wanted to leave you—
or that crying boy,
alone.
How I wish I could’ve wiped
every tear from your youth,
if I were your mother,
I would’ve loved you endlessly.

watched every art show,
and I would’ve read to you every night.
I would’ve taught you that beauty is in the beholder,
but even when we can’t see it,
it’s everywhere,
in everything,
and everyone—...

I hate surprises
Oh, don't give me
Alice's intentions
and a queen of hearts
attitude.
In Wonderland,
with a good smile,
even cats disappear.
In wonder
with a good
disappear.
Cat's land smile.
Alice's intentions
and a queen of hearts
attitude.
In Wonderland,
with a good smile,
even cats disappear.
In wonder
with a good
disappear.
Cat's land smile.

Everything is just the same
Time flies by, so rather quick
Everyday repeats itself, week after week
Relentless agony, when nothing awaits
Maybe one day life will smile at you
Stuck in the middle without progression
Only you can guide yourself out of there
You can create another world, all in your mind
In solitude you will find
in your head everything is better than you'll ever be
Life is seldom fair
It leads you to despair
After every uphill
You will descend
You can hide from your fears
to avoid all the pain
but never get to...

in your head everything is better than you'll ever be
Life is seldom fair

It's Always About You
I see demons in the corners of my eyes.
Maybe it's just the reflections from the tears I won't let fall.
I'm seeing things I swear,
But they all say I'm not keen to supernatural beings.
I lie and say that doesn't bother me,
But my chest was ripped apart,
Because one day I swore I saw you,
And I can't live with knowing you're really gone.
Your home is cold, and it waits for you,
But there's something even colder that waits for you,
She rots and writes poems for a ghost that she knows will never return.

It Is What It Is
What’s my next move?
I’m scared to dip my toe,
Petrified of every step,
Afraid of what I’ll never know.
But it’s necessary,
I can’t stay in your shadow,
There’s more to life than what you gave,
I need to find it, to let go.
My heart hurts, whether you see or not,
But let’s not dwell in all the ugly,
I won’t point fingers, or play the violin,
No, I owe no one an explanation.
If they ask, I’ll simply say—
It is what it is, and nothing more,
No excuses needed, not...

Runaway
So you want to run away, then go, I won’t stop you, you said. I was no older than six or seven. I rose, walked to that door— I knew, somehow, this was not home.
My little brother trailed behind, and I, with stubborn heart, set off to find the parents who’d left us behind. Love was a distant thing, but I was determined to find it, even if they never gave it.
I dragged the dog along, his paws stumbling in the dust. The gate loomed, larger than anything I had ever seen— but I pulled it open, the metal stick unlatching and with it, I felt the surge of freedom. ...

Denise peeked into the bathroom.
She caught Kvin showering with rival Julia.

I cannot be a part of this no more
If I were to put it candidly, you have everything I’ve ever wanted.
You are the better half. The holy counterpart to my hell, introducing hail unto my brimstone.
Everything I wished for myself, and you come along and show me I was right for desiring those things.
Sharp shank to my rib every time I see your face and I minimize my half smile.
It’s beauty locks my cage and I remain captured, unable to look at you, with nervous laughter.
Your intellect engages my mind, makes me ponder, bound and enraptured.
Which is why, I cannot be a part of this no more. ...

Russians
In the black and white of an endless film, I long to be your red rose, vivid, surreal. The last glimpse you catch before closing your eyes, The final breath shared under stormy skies.
I have never fought so fiercely, so true, Until the battle of words was between me and you. In the war of hearts, we wield the knives, Each strike cutting deep, yet we both survive.
I hold the blade to your chest, you to my throat, A silent scream as our souls take note. I beg you to do it, to end this rift, But you, with your surrender, offer a white handkerchief.
You fall to your knees,...

Kentia palms catch a breeze
Kentia palms catch a breeze
And sway gently in their rows;
This verdant sanctuary
Comforts me like the psalms.
I amble slowly between them -
My head tapped by the fronds.
I feel the warmth of the sun;
The fresh air fills my lungs.
A kintsugi pot rests on pebbles -
Beautiful but defiant.
Gold sealed up the fissures -
Reminding me of who I am.
And sway gently in their rows;
This verdant sanctuary
Comforts me like the psalms.
I amble slowly between them -
My head tapped by the fronds.
I feel the warmth of the sun;
The fresh air fills my lungs.
A kintsugi pot rests on pebbles -
Beautiful but defiant.
Gold sealed up the fissures -
Reminding me of who I am.
