Once Had

Missing a version of you,

One I thought I once knew.

I fell in love, and didn’t think twice.

You were the moon to me,

Pulling me in like the sea.

It feels like a twist of fate,

Like the universe rolled a pair of dice.

Your words weren’t full of hate,

Yet they hurt as if they were.

My vision begins to blur,

As I think of memories with you.

I wouldn’t change a thing,

And even though remembering stings,

I’m reminded of the love I once had.

  • In All Eyes

    And as summer leaves, 
    Fall sings through the breeze. 
    Flowers start to wilt 
    As the world tilts. 
    Even as it dies, 
    Nature is beautiful in all eyes. 

  • Fall’s Reminder

    The stars begin to realign,

    Opening new doors,

    As summer starts to resign.

    With whispers of love anew,

    Fall changes what we once knew.

    Bringing us a new gentleness.

    One made out of love,

  • Golden Illusion

    Fell in love with a golden illusion.

    World veiled in a bronze light,

    Everything felt right.

    The warmth of sun kissing skin,

    The reassurance of night,

    The ease brought by a breeze.
