When it comes true

when it comes true

when my dream is found, 

my goals reached, 

will I be fulfilled? 

will the future be everything I’d hoped, 

or a letdown

a saddening realization of truth 

telling me exactly what I don’t want to hear. 

it can’t be predicted, and that makes me fear that my work isn’t good enough to describe how I feel. 

but if the future was certain, I do not know 

how far my dreams would let me go.

    what do you do when you cross the sea without me? 

    on this warm night, I stand outside in the blue dark. 

    I wear a bathrobe over my pajamas 

    and old crocs that are faded purple 

  • pearls

    it's almost night on the Tyrrhenian Sea 

    homes glow like stars on the cliffside 

    and waves of green lap against the side of the boat 

     

    there is a storm approaching, 

  • eyes of a stranger

    there is something about those eyes that kept me chained to this love

    for they seemed to be the first that I couldn't see right through

    as if rather than a window to your soul

    they were a wall.
