The most challenging thing, to me, in this life… Is time. The time it takes to do anything, is never the same Time with the ones you love is never long enough While time stands still in suffering. Falling in love can be instantaneous And waiting for Forever… takes an eternity Yet, time isn’t real,Continue reading “Time”

Happy to
In all my life, I’ve never known such freedoms. The freedom to laugh To cry Sometimes both. The freedom to relax To live At the same time. The freedom to exist To smile And be happy doing it.
Future
I wonder how it feels How it looks How it sounds How it tastes. Will our mornings be slow and happy Our nights, warm and comforting I wonder, dear Future, what does life have in store for me?
Red
It is the freedom that brings peace, But first it brings unease, A discomfort, a nakedness. And when the vines reach to ensnare once again You can finally see the thorns, Still wet with red.

Not the ones while I slept But the ones while my eyes were open… staring at the ceiling Where minutes felt likeContinue reading “Eyes open”
This
As I stared into the pools of amber and rust, I felt the world slow down The voices quieted And solace settled in. The unseen hands weaving together the fabrics of fate And all at once a spark ignited the dormancy in my soul and said Exactly right there. This is it ~A
Fast car
Windows down, in the passenger seat, The warm city wind rushing over my skin Eyes close to soak in the feeling. Looking up at the night sky, the street lights and cars took place of the stars Speeding too fast, your eyes on me as you leaned over “Kiss me.”
Again
I felt it The shift in the universe when you walked through the door. I felt it again with a glance my way, Again with a touch, And again with a dream. I feel it all once more, through memories, As I patiently wait for that shift, again. ~A
