today

today is yesterday’s tomorrow

full of promises that linger as the sun emerges,

a warm breeze colliding against

the soft pillowy fabric of your curtains.

today is yesterday’s tomorrow

full of new hope as you wake up in bed,

listening to birds singing a soft melody

smiling to yourself and thinking

today is yesterday’s tomorrow

full of potential while you watch the sun set

lying on your back and looking at the

fading colors of the sky

today is yesterday’s tomorrow

as you sit by yourself looking at the waves

lapping against the sun-kissed sand

a cool and salty breeze tickling your face

happiness is guaranteed.

  • counting

    ten tears that escape from the narrow corners of my eyes

    flowing down my cheeks and onto my lap where they melt and disappear

    even my tears have lost.

    nine questions scribbled into a diary late at night

  • I’m sorry

    I’m sorry that I wasn’t the rings to your Saturn,

    because Saturn had cracked into two;

    I’m sorry that I slipped salt into your sugar,

    yet your sugar was bitter, I cried too.

    I’m sorry that you never learned to care,

  • fall

    warmth,

    pumpkin spice lattes

    hot, spice-soaked coffee drizzled with a splash of cinnamon

    coated with half-melted whipped cream, nestled by the delicate fire,

    comfort,

    your favorite cardigan
