Books
I open it
Relishing the new-book scent
Hoping
I can forget again.
Take me away
To foreign lands
Where peace can be found

Star
I’m a star
I’ll travel millions of miles
Just to see you
Just to give you a little light
A little hope in this hopeless world
One day
I’ll be an asteroid
And I’ll fall from the sky

She Is
Inspired By My Own Book Series
She is a firebird
Rising from the ashes
Picking herself up in the darkness
Holding hope in her talons
She is glass
Stable and transparent

Toxins
Inspired By My Own Book Series
You left long ago
Yet your words still linger
Like a gaping wound
That never heals
Will I ever learn
To expunge the toxins in my veins

The Sunset Collection (All Six Parts)
This six-part collection of poetry tells a story based on two characters in the book series I'm writing. One dies, and each poem describes one of the five stages of grief the other encounters.

The Sunset
I watch the sunset
Its beauty stealing my breath
Leaving an orange glow on its surroundings
Leaving a little hope for the ones who seek it
The ones who succumb to the darkness
The ones craving warmth and beauty

Tearing myself apart
It's tearing me apart
Your words echoing in my head
Your eyes shining in my memory
Im scared of you but it's because of me
I never liked myself

never really love
What you gave me everyday
Was never really love.
It was toxic, poison,
You stained my blood black.
All of your words
I realize were all lies.
Even the ring on my finger

One Mistake is All it Takes
Her eyes light up the galaxy
They shine like golden stars,
And on her face a rainbow peeks
Beyond her bleeding scars.
Atop the hill of vanquished beasts

lonely thoughts
I run to the forest,
The colors remind me
Of the color my eyes aren't.
Your screams are still in my ears,
They still echo
Against the blank canvas out here.

Strangers
Strangers
are the closest companions.
You take a shot
and I let it go.
You say I’m pretty
and I let it go.
