where darkness
deepens,
light leans closer,
caressing edges
with a lingering touch
light and shadow
moving like lovers,
each breathing life
into the other
a meeting of shadows,
a place where longing leans toward light
they find one another
stretching long in the late sun,
they cross and mingle,
they part,
and sometimes join again
a simple thing,
like wind in the grass,
or the hush of footsteps in fallen leaves
I wrote a poem about you once
Used the ocean as a metaphor
You didn't see it
and I never told you
And yet, the tide still ebbs and flows
The earth still spins
and I...
well, I'm still too insignificant for the ink that spills from your pen
In the dim glow of our shared stage,
the hardest part was knowing
this wasn’t just an intermission,
but a final act, a quiet closing
Hearts, they bleed,
crafted for the bittersweet,
foolish to think love never fades,
yet still we danced, believing in forever
It’s the time to entrust another year to sweet memory.
Glance back with tender benevolence and gratitude, then move forward to gather even brighter moments in the new year. ✨
Happy New Year!
adrift,
caught between the echoes of here and there,
I am the embodiment of limbo’s embrace
yearning
for a place beyond this restless state,
just another soul looking for a way to feel alive
in a place that’s not quite here, not quite there
She smiled, it was simple,
the way the sea is simple, like the quiet between waves.
Sometimes that's enough.
And sometimes it's the calm before the storm, when every whisper of the wind teases…
I’m sipping a calming cup of tea and trying to dream of a nap.
But, my brain neurons are busy throwing a little dance party, complete with scratchy tunes and no way to turn down the volume.
the lyrics dissolved into the background,
as if they were mere whispers in a crowded room
unencumbered by the weight, the essence of the song transcended its words, speaking in a language that needed no translation
every step,
a graceful negotiation
between the whimsical and the practical,
ensuring
you neither float away on a cloud of fantasy
nor sink into the quicksand of reality
