Alone – “sour, bitter, acidic.”

Together – “delicious.”

Ironic, ...

Words I don’t understand.

Messages that feel heavy.

Weighing me down. ...

“Where were you?”

When I gazed out.

Felt the sun. ...

Why so hazy?

I try to see,

Blink, ...

I can’t see you.

Too many tears.

Wish you’d waited....

Scribbled on.

Stared at.

A reflection, ...

This photograph reminds me of a movie from my dad’s era. I don’t know if I saw it with him. Maybe I did. His favorite movies ...

"I’m coming..."

Around the bend.

Past the trees. ...

These days,

I smile at strangers,

When out for a walk. ...

“To be with you…”

I see the softness,

Gentle sparkle, ...

Not all diamonds are hard.

Or made of carbon.

It’s only us, ...

Branches extend like arteries

Leaves resemble orange blood cells.

The sky reflects tomorrow. ...

Tired cherries let go.

Choose to fall.

Naturally. ...

It may feel grey,

But the sun still shines.

Somewhere. ...

Crumbling walls.

Broken windows,

Welcoming openly,...

There are days,

When thoughts feel dense.

Reflections,...

I thought my path was hard.

Seemingly uphill.

Tiring...

Even barren deserts,

Carry marks of human existence.

Is there nothing left, ...

Autumn.

Trees changing color.

The woods,...

Expressionless.

Mouth shut tight.

Eyes refusing to see. ...
