  • A Story Whirls Into View

    My feet spin my bike pedals,
    Pushing me along the trail
    As stories invade my focus.
    My mind swirls,
    Colors whirl,
    As ideas emerge from the flurry.
    Names fill my head,
    Plots come into view,
    Places teleport into my thoughts.
  • A Capability of Beauty

    The warm, salty waves wash away,
    Swirling patterns in the sand,
    Sending crabs and clams
    Burrowing into the rock grains.
    The waves churn the sand,
    Uncovering, leaving behind,
    Delivering small,
    Delicate treasures:
  • A Glowing Aura of Relaxation

    The sun dips behind the mountains,
    Only some of the light shines,
    A peachy aura emerging.
    The whispy clouds hover gracefully,
    Letting themselves drift with the wind,
    The peace settling into the mist,
    Refracting the glow,

  • Getting Where I Want to Go

    My sneakers hit the pavement,
    The constant sound of the thwapping filling the nipping, 
    Early spring air.
    My breath comes slow but heavy,
    Before being like a soft summer breeze,
    Now like a strong wind,
  • An Interacting Community of Light

    I stare out the plane window,
    gazing at the illuminated buildings.
    The clusters of orange and yellow lights,
    forming the shapes of roads,
    streets, and homes.
    They spread out like a map,
    inky darkness showing the desolate areas,

    Do you feel your head unspooling into the universe?

    The strings are fraying at the edges, 

    irreparably stained with the stardust at the ends

    Of the many worlds you stretch across.

    Sacred Holy Dream

    Yes, Alice thought as she drifted deeper into sleep from within that lightless and beautiful place, make it stranger now. Make it all new again.

  • How I came to be

    The God

    who created the stars 

    and the sun 

    and the mountains 

    and the planes

    gazed over it all,

    then added me

     

    Cause He looked at a field of ornate roses and lilies,

  • I Want to be a Princess

    Is it wrong 

    to want to be a princess?

    Is it naive or childish?

     

    Because I want to be in a world where at 16 

    I find my prince charming, 

    where every year onwards is happily ever after

  • mancini and mood lighting

    a symphony of saxophone and jazzy drums plays

    for a crowd of men in wide collared shirts and women in boxy dresses

    in their hands are drinks

    martinis and manhattans 

    with glistening ice cubes inside their glasses

  • summer camp

    i miss summer camp.

     

    i miss the pines

    and the deer that hid

    among them.

    i miss the sunsets,

    which were somehow

    ever so much more beautiful

    than any of the ones back home.
