Doors
I’ve stood before a thousand doors,With unsure hands, on aching floors.Some opened wide and pulled me through,Some stayed locked no matter what I’d do. I’ve knocked until my knuckles bled,Believing love was just ahead.Convinced if I could knock once more,Someone would want me past that door. I’ve begged at thresholds, called a name,And wondered if…

Intensity
September 1, 2026 I used to think that love should burn,A raging fire at every turn.That if it didn’t shake my soul,It couldn’t possibly make me whole. I learned to measure love in ache,In sleepless nights and hands that shake.In racing hearts and stomach drops,In desperate starts and sudden stops. Intensity became my proof,A lightning…

The First Step
Morning arrived quietly. The storm had spent itselfsometime before dawn,leaving only the slow rhythmof water slippingfrom leaf to leaf. She opened her eyesbeneath the old treethat had carried her safelythrough the longest night. For a while,she simply listened. The wind no longer howled.The thunder had wandered elsewhere.Even the birds,once frightened into silence,had begun again. She…

The Storm Between the Trees
August 3, 2026 The woman wandered fartherthan she had ever dared before. The familiar brookhad long since disappeared,its gentle song swallowedby towering pinesthat stood like silent guardiansbeneath a darkening sky. She searched for the pathshe thought she had known,but every traillooked like the last. Then came the wind.Soft at first.A whisper through the branches.Then stronger.Until…

Consequences
July 28, 2026 Each choice we make, both small and wide,Leaves footprints where our hearts reside.Though time may soften every scar,It cannot change the marks they are. I cannot beg the tide to stay,Nor wash the things I’ve cast away.No pleading voice, no whispered plea,Can rewrite what has come to be. You placed your trust…

If I were gone
July 23, 2026 I do not mean the kind of gonewhere flowers gather in the rain,or names are carved in weathered stoneto whisper softly of our pain. I mean the quieter kind of gone,where footsteps simply cease to fall,where no one turns to call my namebecause I wasn’t there at all. No shadow stretching in…

To Be Chosen
July 19, 2026 You found me when I would not chase,and slowly drew me to your grace.With patient words and gentle care,you taught my guarded heart to dare. You knocked upon my bolted gate,arrived before I learned to wait.You crossed the distance, closed the sea,your footsteps landed nearest me. So when I finally let you…

A World Collapsing
July 15, 2026 Tonight the stars forgot to shine,and silence swallowed every sign.The little world we came to knowbecame a place I couldn’t go. But I went in anyway,Knowing you chose not to stay,Consumed with thoughts and wondering why,I wasn’t worth for you to try. You knocked upon my hopeful heart,then somehow chose to drift…

Three Meetings
July 12, 2026 There is a quiet tale that’s told,of kindred souls through time enrolled.That every heart, if fate agrees,meets a soul three times with ease. The first encounter drifts on by,like fleeting clouds across the sky.Its meaning hides from eager eyes,beneath the hush of small goodbyes. You cross each other’s winding waylike distant stars…

Freedom of Falling
June 18, 2026 There was no fear.Only sunlight. A bridge stretched across the sky,high above water so impossibly blueit looked borrowed from another world. The kind of water that invites youwith its glistening depth and endless secrets. I stood at the railingwatching the waves breathe below me,feeling the distance,feeling the height,feeling the impossible spacebetween where…
