...to become my own light, again.
It's still a work in progress, but I'm beginning to find home in me - not in a sense of returning, but rather in a sense of becoming.

Moonlight Confessions
You mask it as solicitous care
But who mandated you to decide
What's wrong for me, and what is right?
You paint an abstraction of my life
Dream fortunately fixable fallouts
But here's my confession, Babe:
I fixed the door.
It opens no more.

Disintegrated Doubts
My disintegrated doubts
are no resolution of delight
no promise to revivify
My disintegrated doubts
are a reclamation
of uncharted territory

Frostbite her only companion, she leans against the icy rocks on the bottom of the precipice. Life won't wait as time longs for balance. Tiredness turns into fatigue, then into unconsciousness. Her last thought is no prayer, but a dream that shifts her into a new reality.

2025 Wrap-Up
Deleterious winds, and impending liberation, brought is to the precipice of another year, anticipation the preface of the next...

...endings became your acquaintances. How could they ever be at peace?
Yet, as a fairy, she'd give everything she had for the chance to only have this one last first kiss, even if a first kiss would mean the end. It still would be her happy ending.
At the cove's edge, the shadows revealed soul-nixing follies. Lewd leisure made skin shiver in disgust.
Take a breath mint, and move on.
They say, these places have love for sale. But they really sell bodies, in increments, left a little more hollow after each deal.

Slowly, very carefully, I assimilate into this space you hold for me, allowing myself to feel, that it actually carries.
Indulgence?
This is a big word. It often takes more than it gives.
But I deeply enjoy every present moment in which I notice that this space holds me, and you, safely.

Strain
Armors don't work for me.
They wear me down.
As does the torturous crapulence
from substances I could use
to numb all intensity.
Those are mere toys,
to weave an illusion of safety
as if there ever was anything
within our control.
It's not.
You can't use a sieve
as a barricade, I know.
But it can strain the toxins.
That'll do.

His reverence for her was no stage for him to be the star. It was quietly lighting candles, when she walked blind alleys, making sure that, even if she could not find happiness, she'd, at least, remember contentment.

To That Silent One
To the still one beholding me, and my path
benevolently turned towards
never saying a word too much
yet, each one reaches with mildest touch:
You matter. - I wanted you to know
The quiet care you gently show...
Courage rewards itself, it's true
So, I'll state it:
I see beauty in how you're being you

On the eve, there was no slumbrous prelude. An abbreviated crescendo, more like. Iconicly ironic, the tower fell at the stroke of midnight. Soon, there wouldn't be any illusions left to shatter.

With the heat of the cooking dinner, mirrored by steamy windows, memory rises like an illusive reality, a dream revealed in one hot tear falling: My special holiday spice.

Anticipation
It's a weird little thing
Often the state of it
More fun than what it may bring
Is it logical?
I really do not know
As I carry no more
Expectation where I go

It's the fourth shortest day, and for the first time since, I don't miss the light, any more.
No far-out epiphany. Just a silent noticing. A mere fart, drowning in the world's noise.

Entities lined up along the icy path leading to the workshop, reminiscing, wondering if the stories were true.
The fire in the hearth crackled, when Ronan placed his offering. He had dodged destiny's avalanche for too long. There was no sin in facing the truth. As feelings transcribed onto...

Another Year
Another year is ending, making me wonder how I got here, so fast.
A lot of waiting, though expanding the moment, accelerated the timeline.
Waiting for what?
Waiting for things to move that were beyond my control.
Another year is...
1/3
The first frost, bundled up in scarf and mittens, mistletoe memories melting fast as a cold Winter sun illuminates egregious shadows.
No regret.
I still wouldn't surrogate reality for some fairytale fantasy.

She examined the frosty muzzles pointing at her, as if to familiarise with the challenge of the moment. There was no need for a recall, though. She had the tradition down all too well. To turn around, and walk away, was alluring. Instead, she just stood there, and focussed on that she really was, on that all really was:
Love.
Armors started to sparkle when a warm impulse...

Footprints in the snow, falling on an old lane, glinting beneath a monotonous sky. A candle on evergreen. Nutcracker playing. A memory never made, snugly nestled in my mind.

Skipping monotonous, the page turned itself directly from chocolate, and mistletoe kisses, to describing the apogee of who we were. A place to call home turned into whiteout survival. A hearth cold as stone, where worry pretty much became the new normal. Perception turned upside-down for one, caused bruises on the other. Indigo hues bled into wintertide's...

As I pull up my stockings, I won't wish for snow. I'll just act as if apricity was a fact, once I set foot under the grey sky with its apricot tinge that only Winter holds.
Passing by coloured lights of cars in the traffic, I notice, how I resist residual horror that's saying one last goodbye. Taking a deep breath, I...

Wake your dreams, they say. They wouldn't, if they knew my nightmares. Christmas party punch numbs the awareness for how the gravity of choices chosen splits more than just a fruit cake - pretending good will by offering what never can be any consolation.

Clouds
When we were clouds meandering the sky, a lightning bolt taught us the art of disappearing. Listing into opposing directions, our lagging behind could not prevent the rift. But fire, though a peculiar gift wrap, cleanses before destruction, until nothing artificial remains. Now, rain is my consolation, until the mountain...

One silent night, blankets on the sofa, a mug of cocoa, a book title suggested by a magazine: Saffron Spices And You.
I believe in auguries. So, I'm anticipating my next cuppa will be golden milk with cinnamon, and black pepper.

Should We?
We should have stopped the moment it started. Alas, we didn't. 'Neath a vespertine sky, we moved towards the foreseeable destination, as if ache, not chivalry, was the best morning gift awaiting. Everyday miles unending, I am learning with age, to close the door faster. Gladly...

At the closing of an aphotic age, time tried again.
What's this?
The spark took time. Once steady, the circle traced ends in the glow of the snow. A chivalrous sheen took shape.

Our mind, the enemy of magic, they say. Yet, I mind the fairy lights in a vespertine sky. Yet, the sleigh bells ringing in the night matter to me. Aged packages unopened, I choose to pull the ribbon.

After stepping into a Winter Wonderland, we stringed cranberries, and popcorn, in the loudly quiet silence by the fire.
Alas, the confetti never landed. In the nightly sky, particles of what never came to be gleamed, then vanished.
