golden girl

she is autumn in a girl, russet hair and golden freckles. she tastes like the crispness of a freshly harvested apple, and she feels like the warm mellow sun of a fall day. her warmth could heat the coldest white of marble, her laugh could soften his frostbitten heart. walled in by a castle of … Continue reading golden girl →

The Lake

Cool and butter-smooth, my limbs slice through the endless blue, I refuse to conform to the neatness of a butterfly stroke, Instead I move through the water like an awkward jellyfish, my face turned to the sun, I can see my body beneath the rippling surface, distorted by the sun's rays and the dark green … Continue reading The Lake →

What a Beautiful Sadness

She is flat and empty, and irritation pushes against her chest like the dull edge of a knife.

Her whole life is before her, but it feels like … Continue reading What a Beautiful Sadness →

Like a white carnation, I grow, blooming is a process of letting go, allowing what I learn to seep through my skin, not letting all the lies fester within, keeping hope alive, wandering from day to day, finding the good in it all, keeping darkness at bay. Sometimes I wonder, perhaps I'd grow better, if … Continue reading White Carnation →

killing time: a poem

time is a thief, but I am a murderer. the clock hands are my noose, slowly strangling the life out of minutes and seconds as they flash by eyes burn with regret as I stare, watching them die in the blue glow of a cell phone screen, those seconds will never come back, but my … Continue reading killing time: a poem →

We Need More Lovely Things

Every so often in life I stumble across something truly lovely, with a simple, unadulterated kind of beauty that is becoming so much less common in this world we are living in. I live for these things, these little pockets of loveliness. It's why I've always been so attracted to old things. Old literature, old … Continue reading We Need More Lovely Things →
