The refreshing taste of liberty, Like mint sorbet on a hot spring day. My daffodils are beginning to bloom, Winter has been around for far too long. There is peace in being alone, You will find no loneliness here. The moon always seems to shine brighter When the sun has set. I often speak in … Continue reading Daffodils and Daisies

Spring
A breath of fresh air,Spring flowers blooming throughCracks of cold winter months.Taking peace by himself,A hasty step away from the world.He's alone, but no loneliness creeps in;Light quickly rids him of any sense of it.A clear mind for the briefest of moments, Lately it has been full of murky water, Thoughts that swim around near … Continue reading Spring
Film Noir
Gasping for air,Thrashing around in the water,Can someone throw me aLifeline?Bottled tears fromEndless nights ofBlood-soaked sheets- My film noir world.I float now,Calmly letting waves washOver me- I'm no longer drowning.Sometimes I mustCatch my breath- I spoke too quickly,But I always end upRhythmically safe.I like to paint parts of my mindIn vibrant colours only Gogh knows … Continue reading Film Noir
Au Revoir!
Cher journal, When I was eleven years old my grandma took me to Calais in France, it was there that I fell in love with everything French.

A Note to a Stranger
If we were to pass each otherOn the streets of Paris,Would we be strangers?Should I continue mySilent cries of heartwrenchingGuilt?Am I lost? Or simply blind toWhere I am.This denial won't save me fromThe sun setting.So may I paint my words through painAnd childish rhymes, Like a broken swallow patheticallyMending its wing.Will words of love from … Continue reading A Note to a Stranger

I could admit that not a day goes by where your name doesn't cross my mind.I could reveal my true feelings instead of persisting through my life with stubbornness.I could divulge all the reasons why I wish I didn't … Continue reading 1AM Confessions

My … Continue reading A Lesson in Love
Une Lumière Douce
Utter darkness,Only a single flameFlickering, dancing.A Monarch butterfly or perhaps a moth,Neither are mine, yet I'm drawn toThe flame alike.Lift your swift fingers andDelicately trace your own designOn my metamorphosing skin.Why must change take place in darkness?My New Moon, mon Soleil,I wish for only light to trickle downAnd consume me.May I be your undying votive?Perhaps … Continue reading Une Lumière Douce
The Night We Met
"You say I killed you- haunt me then!"
Lunae Lumen
Moonlight beams trickle downMy bare legs,Propped up on a windowsill,Looming in swift cloudsAnd an ever-changing palette ofColours that paint the night sky.Faint humming from my lips asA familiar ache fills my chest- My salty water tastes unnoticeable.I breathe deep; be still my heart. Turning my back on moonbeams,I sink into the shadows. Let me lurk,Until … Continue reading Lunae Lumen
