Poetry- The Senses Between
In between frail moments in time, I feel your particles dance with mine. Within fractured fractals of seconds, I hear your light shine with brilliant song.

Poetry- The Unseen Journey
I see myself smiling at the mirror I can’t tell if that’s how I really feel. I close my eyes, Tears start racing down my face. I feel the pain slowly stabbing my cheeks Making my eyes burn each time I blink. My lips shatter like pieces of glass every time I try to speak.…

Poetry- Distances We Are Apart
I don’t want to leave you The thought alone fills me with fear, I am afraid to lose you, To let you slip away, disappear. I don’t want to drift away from you, Your heartbeat is the rhythm of my days, Because if only you truly knew, How endlessly I love you in countless ways.…

The Season Of Harvest
You know it’s that time of year when you open the windows early in the morning, you take in a cleansing breath, or go for an early morning walk, and the air smells different. There is a crispness in the air. The smell of soil seems to invade the senses. Science says it depends upon…
