My mind is shouting, relentless, and loud.

Lost in a whirlwind, lost in the crowd.

I step outside, where the garden night feels free.

Yet no matter where I look it’s you in everything I see.

In the watercolor blue lake, reflecting bright,

I see the way your eyes shine in the night.

Two endless pools that deeply stare.

eyes that I could drown in and wouldn’t care.

The amber leaves rustle through...

Love is a polyglot, fluent in many tongues,

Yet each word is a melody, carefully strung.

The harp hums softly, an arrow takes flight,

Tell me, how do you say “I love you” tonight?

Do you speak in soft whispers of words outright?

Each syllable weaving a tapestry tight.

Every “I love you” spun with care,

Threads of fabric of words we share.

Does your love speak in touch? In warmth drawn near?

In g...

A step closer, a breath drawn in, a tender touch,

Blossoms beckon with a beguiling guise;

Yet beneath their charm lies a secret as such—

Intoxicating fumes weave your ultimate demise.

Your lungs ignite in a fiery, desperate plea,

your heart quiets and loses its rhythmic pace.

but the nectar’s lure, too sweet to flee,

Enshrouds your mind in a hazy embrace.

In a dreamy trance, dangers and desires ...

It’s impossibly ugly this sweater,

But I wear it each week no matter the weather.

The cotton is too itchy, the sleeves are too small,

Yet this sweater is my favorite of them all.

I wear it proud, though others may sneer,

For its warmth is a treasure I pull near.

With mismatched colors, and holey seams,

It’s the sweater of my childhood dreams.

The sweater has worn, ripped, and endured,

Yet the m...

There he was—beneath the dim, damp lamppost,

My love and the thief holding so close.

Her laughter rang, a delicate tone.

But I craved what she called her own.

She kissed him passionately, her smile sweet.

My heart is bitter, worn, and incomplete.

Taking back what’s mine, obsessions outweigh.

But a battle, a challenge, a game to play.

They kiss goodbye, their bodies part.

The sight heats my brittl...

In the shadows deep, where no one sees,

The monster whispers beneath the trees.

Claws so sharp, scales so gray,

“It’s fine, I never belonged here anyway.”

It watches children laugh and run,

Bathes in the warmth of the distant sun.

Yet when it steps, they shy away,

“It’s fine, I never belonged here anyway.”

Its voice once sang, its hate once little,

But time has withered the heart so brittle.

Eac...

I sit in stillness, my windowsill bare

The weight of regret hangs heavy in the air

The world grows still, the shadows creep

Yet in the silence, my thoughts run deep

Loneliness lingers, my only friend

The ache in my heart, when will this end?

The air is heavy, the night profound

A quiet despair, my screams the only sound

My mind is shouting, this feeling won’t quell

A relentless torment I cannot d...
