  1. You try to provoke me, thinking you're sly, and that I’ll give a stage to your indefeatigable ego. But I've thoroughly travelled the scenery of your drama, and will not hold space for it, any more. Instead, I'll surrender to my own stamina. Audacious, I know. You're not the only indomitable one, here.

  3. 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.

  5. "The meter drives our passion,"
    that's what you said.

    By now, I have
    thought it through thoroughly,
    carefully considered every word,
    and, after a sleepless night,
    came to this conclusion:

    I have no idea what you meant.
    Is it a brilliant placeholder
    for a deeper design,
    or merely a glorious farce?
    Please, help me understand.

  7. 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

  9. You gotta go with the tides.
    Replenish when the surf comes in.
    Let go when the water leaves.
    Shoot for peace.

    And what if you don't make it
    until the next wave?
    Well, shoot.
    Too late.

  11. Arms around her knees, crouched on the bed, she's rocking around with only one wish spat into the wintery overkill:
    A shoulder to lean on - even if it only was for a brief moment.

  15. Ninguid cars block the sidewalk. Snow primped tin forms a guard of honour. A thick layer of ice on top, the frog in my throat hibernates. Once bewitched by your charm, I guess, it was fun while it lasted. For you, anyway.

  22. upon reflection,
    I, too, flew damn close to the sun
    once.

    and, still,
    I mend these wings.

  24. When, in meditation, she dropped deeply into her body, something anchored. An ocean of tears made space for divine presence. Her chest rising and falling with her breath, she sat, feeling relief, gratitude, and one last #little tear rolling down her cheek.

  25. It was not an easy door to open.

    When she did, #boundless possibilities became, the threshold a #liminal space between #illusion and potential. Arctic desert morphed to #tundra upon new #sentiments that #burnt away the shackles.

    A pang of pain, an old #acquaintance, told her, it was not quite yet time to #celebrate.

  26. Many called her an #optimist. But she saw what was really there. Paying #forward the love she found, she'd never #bottle anything up. Some called her a #saviour, because of the warmth her love brought even in the coldest #Winter.
