Wreck.

As I sit here alone, I can almost feel you beside me. I guess I saw something and I guess it was you. Or maybe it’s just my mind reminding me that I know your smell Like the smell of rain and blooming flowers in the sun. As I’m walking through this crowd, I can […]

AN EQUINOCTIAL LOVE STORY

🌞 Riding on the northern wind He was the harbinger of joy She, the bedecked face of earth In her summer glory looked coy.  She, always moving in her familiar little orbit Often passed him by – a traveller, a nomad Who brought her a bounty of fruits when he halted And flew by, showering flowers […]

If You Ever Fall In Love. 

Fall in love with someone who kisses your scars like they are badges of honor. Fall in love with someone who knows what your favorite color is not because you told them a million times but because they worked it out. Fall in love with someone who asked your life ambitions on the first date […]
