sunshine serenity

The sun slowly sinks down behind the mountains, 
casting faded orange and yellow rays.
Wispy clouds drift overhead,
pushed by the wind. 
A single cricket's chirp fills the air with a quiet song,
more joining to make a simple harmony.
Laughter echoes through the valley,
along with shrieks of joy.
Picking wildflowers and weeds,
tied with grass to make a bouquet.
Rolling down the hill, 
hair coming undone,
becoming a dizzy mess.
Writing letters to our future selves, 
with our hopes and dreams sealed in an envelope.
Holding hands as we walk,
wishing time would stand still.

  • Lost love

    Years of wasted love, 
    I handed it out at no cost,

    Suddenly there wasn't any love left for me.

    I needed your love to survive,
    but it was nowhere to be found.

    Empty words,

    Dodie and Fletcher,
    the orange dream catcher,
    Unopened messages, 
    Cinderella's transforming carriage.
    Crying in the shower,
    all I want is flowers!
    Buttons on my shirt,
    Can I get any more hurt?
  • Movie of memories

    When I close my eyes I see a movie,
    small snippets stitched together,
    snippets of memories together.

    Your sticky fingers after eating all the strawberries instead of picking them,
    trimming your beloved rose bushes, one by one,
