To Wander in Your Gaze

Inspired By My Own Book Series

I search in your gaze

For the secrets in your alluring eyes

Golden brown

Deeper than oceans

 

Nervousness becomes familiar

As I stand here

Mind racing

Eyes locked

 

“Promise you’ll never leave.”

I take your hand

Eyes aglow

And then I knew

From the smile on your face

To our countless conversations

You were mine forever.

  • peace is impossible

    I close the windows

    Lock the doors

    Turn off the lights

     

    I don’t ever want to leave this room.

    I am tired of drowning

    In a world

    That has never prepared me to swim.

     

  • August 2nd, 2025

    There are ten days left until the first day of my freshman year,

    And I am fearful.

     

    Fearful of drowning under the thrashing waves,

    For I have been taught to survive 

    but never to truly live.

  • Revival

    One day,

                 you will feel pain so excruciating it becomes abstruse. You will feel numb, detached from the world, lost in a void of darkness.
