Flickering of light,Through each exhale it dims. Uncertainty drowned out by Soft music playing from playlist Number one, or maybe two. Racing thoughts barely conveyedIn a single glance. - Okay?- Yes.- You sure?- Yes.Time ticks away as nightFades into dawn. Always tossing and turning, Unfamiliar with an extra body. Taps along my shoulder, One, two, … Continue reading 1, 2, 3

Long-distance
Soft morning kisses, Whispers of touches from the night before, Paint reds and blues across my body, Soothe me please. Clinks of wine glasses from Opposite sides of the room, Opposite ends of the bed, Taking in one another's breath. Knowing glances whilst others Speak, too loud for music but Silence fills our space, Our … Continue reading Long-distance
Twenty-Two
Cher journal, It's strange being in your twenties; all of a sudden I feel this pressure to have my life together, to know exactly what to do at every obstacle I face, but I've found it's quite the opposite. Now more than ever is the time for making mistakes, for choosing different career paths and … Continue reading Twenty-Two
PTO (Please Turn Over)
Cher journal, Change can be scary, terrifying even. I find myself freezing up, like a deer in headlights- I feel lost, as if everything is moving around me and I am a fixed moment in time. I know this feeling is only temporary; I've felt it many times before, although my mind seems to tell … Continue reading PTO (Please Turn Over)
Et puis…
Nearing the end of another chapter, My fingers eagerly awaiting to turn to the Next page. It's time to start anew again, To pick up all the torn pieces of paper And tuck them into my pockets - I'll find use for them eventually. I'll run faster than I ever have before, Trailing whispers of … Continue reading Et puis…
Remnants of Summer
Sticky heat under a clear sky, Racing through tall grass, Flowers and small bugs sticking to my clothes -Run faster. My muscles scream out in Short gasps, Lungs filling up with each sharp inhale -It hurts. Light casts shadows across barren fields As hot water trickles down through the trees, A vacuum of thick heat … Continue reading Remnants of Summer
Rebonjour
Cher journal, Goodness it's been a while hasn't it? I often underestimate how swept up in life I get. It's not necessarily a bad thing- I've enjoyed being busy, but it is nice to step back and reflect every now and then isn't it? Take a deep breath and truly allow your shoulders to drop … Continue reading Rebonjour

Bluetooth
Tap my "off" switch - "I'm sorry, the device you're using is Disconnected." Quick, wrap your arms around me, Perhaps warmth will bring me back. Maybe we should try music or Dancing - do you feel anything yet? Plunge me into ice water instead, Hold my breath for a little while - Wait, don't drown … Continue reading Bluetooth
