After that day,
     the rain continued pouring.
Summer ended,
     and you were gone.

They said,
     the rainy days will be long.
I felt relieved, by the word's cryptic promise of an ending,
     that makes waiting only temporary.

Angels humming quietly
Soft melody of the divine
Song in happy children’s laughter
travel up to the sky
through gates of cherry blossom splendor.
Melody of love and sadness
in the hearts of everyone.
Deeply hidden in baby’s innocence
Going all the way through life
Till in old men broken smile.



Shell✨🐚

our lips will never meet
nor our fingers intertwine
and so bless my dreams
for indulging what's not mine

your silence screams my name
captivating my desire

but it's all in my head

because my ears long for the words
that will never be said

in the chaos of my mind
i found stillness in your eyes

So many poems
and stories
have gone unwritten
due to fear of not being good enough

She controls her laughter,
lets it slip from the edge of her mouth,
the corners of her lips lift ever so slightly,
then, she makes a sound,
seamlessly, her fingers graze my thighs,
smoothly, her eyes meet mine,
and in her eyes, I see my reflection—
aflame, abashed, and fiery,

She is the answer I’ve scoured the world for,
and yet, she, herself, remains a mystery,

Ah, I see,
She controls her laughter
as easily as she controls me.
