  Wait

  Why can’t things be as simpleAs we planFragile, porcelain love slipping out of nimble handsBlood orange drinks start flowingFrom eroding dreams Differences with family, goals and values come into playHow many dates?How many credit card swipes?How many kisses and near misses?Before sex goes from a gift to a given? A missile ready to explode on…

  Blow My Way

  There are days when I woke up to my boyfriend But I only thought of you If you were okay? And if you met anyone new? I dreamed that I would run into you In the city That we would have a second chance A last hurrah A final dance To be caught in a…

  Writing Prompt: Dream Job

  What’s your dream job? I have heard people tell me that my dream job isn’t a job That writing poetry is a hobby Some people find it odd that I choose to write But I do what I love because my passion pushed me forward And it gives me a desire to fight Looking towards…
