Not its suffocating shadow
Nor the voices whispering just below.Read More »

[Poetry] Brave
“Be brave with me,” he whispered.
His eyes pleaded with mine.
“We keep dancing around each other,
Let’s not waste any more time.”
With a hand cupping my cheek,
He pulled me in for a kiss.
That was when I discovered
The meaning of bliss.

Are full of terrors and invisible frights,
Who spend their days enduring silently
To stay alive in an endless fight.

Remember your dreams are valid.Read More »
[Poetry] To All My Sisters, Shine

With words,
With trying to make
Her feel ignored.
But she had a light
Born of stardust
And moonbeams,
As bright as the sun,
As undying as a dream.Read More »
