Writing Goals for 2020

Deep down I feel like everything happened to me for a reason. Several months ago, my mind was dark, on the precipice of a sharp edge, gaunt, beleiving I couldn't live if i couldn't write. Writing and drawing - expressing myself through art - that is my reason of being. My biggest goal is to...

Spain

I went on a walk today I wish I could've ran. I thought about the world and said "I don't know how to begin." The world was quiet today Except for the birds, they flew A safe distance and watched me On my way. I miss the mountains and Spanish accents, A day the soil...

Reason of Being + Giveaway

Petal – coloured starch lines Soul kissing French lovers like we lived in Paris. That we could be some other nation. Any where else, but this place We could come from. Wars, heavy as rainfall, pour in Over history and repeats itself. Four inches every year – Its flooding the humanity out, Like being washed...

The Saddest Poem I’ll Ever Write

"I search for a word, the word, one word." I looked back, I'm sorry, at all those old love poems To listen to how they made your heart strike. I imagined what it was like when I first gave you that poem- Now I don't feel right reading between the lines for a sign to...

A Peach // poem

Apologize – poem

i thought about you in a sexual way so when we kissed we ended up making out. (sorry)   If you have been following me for a year then you might remember i had a lot of poetry on here. When I got into journalism I took down my poetry because I wanted to try...

I Needed To Sleep With You

I read a hundred poems by now. Looking for A couple drags off a cigarette, some secret truth, Yesterday, and a bowl of oranges. I only needed to sleep tangled with him. My right thigh Between his plaid legs, his occasional snore, and if he Woke up unexpectedly, through the daze he’d kiss my lips....

#58 You Are Heaven

You are the fall of golden Heaven leaves; Not the quiet for the woods are filled with the natural order of beautiful sounds. You are the songs of the highest trees that float to Heaven, and get stuck in the clouds. You are the shinning light flooding my face, you are The only truth I...
