Falling Forward in the Dark
I stumbled first, then lost my way, Each step a bruise, each breath a sway. The darkness wrapped its cold embrace, A never-ending, shadowed race.

My Secret Love Is No More
My Secret Love Is No More You made me laugh when nothing could, You looked at me like no one should, I felt like fire, I felt like sin,

I am an act of rebellion
Tales of long-lost love, where a princess yearns for a man’s plea To be redeemed for her desolation, waiting for someone who sets her soul free.

The Shape of Grief
Grief does not knock— It enters like dusk, Filling corners with shadows And silencing clocks. It creeps into morning With yesterday’s name

Northern Light
Snowflakes write poems in her hair, Each step a verse, each breath a prayer, She is the fire in frozen air, The quiet grace of those who dare.

I sit here hugging the ocean And yet I hold nothing Choking on tears of fear Of futures lost Was it just a stepping stone

A love letter to everything I have survived
Darkness in its deepest sonder, desolation in its truest bareness, all embraced my shattered skin, Enclothed in the tightness of survival, the light that belied in its invisibility propelled me to keep my hope akin.

Support, Confidence, and a Whole Lot of Love
I’ll be there with you, When you wake up in the morning sun. I’ll be there with you, If you call out my name, I will always come.

A poem about your first diary in which you wrote your first poem
Darkness was impaired in its transgression as hope seemed to find its way, A startling realisation, a sight to behold, one might deem to say.

Unpredictably risky
I truly adore baby animals! They’re undeniably cute and cuddly Dozily defenceless, fluffy balls Irresistibly, smoochably snuggly.

What Became of the Dream
I had a dream, but it quickly faded. I wonder how I got here. The road ahead feels dimly shaded, Lit only by a flicker of fear. I wonder how I got here With calloused feet and stories untold. Lit only by a flicker of fear, My youth now traded in for gold. With calloused feet and stories untold, I trace the cracks in the mirror’s glaze. My youth now traded in for gold Lost in the soft collapse of days. I trace the cracks in the mirror’s glaze, The road ahead feels dimly shaded. Lost in the soft collapse of days, I had a dream, but it quickly faded.
