The Discovery of Independence

I was raised to be incredibly independent, to a point. My family was not a tight knit family so I spent an inordinate amount of time alone. There were certain things I relied on my mother for, naturally, but in terms of being on my own, I had that down. Until I met my husband. […]

Illecebrous

Simple yet exquisite Nothing anyone knows You are hidden My secret I keep you for me You You make me human Exposed You make me sentient Weighted I have found me All in you Dormant, still You hid within me Under a different name You’re reasonable, honest You’re passionate, overlooked I never knew I didn’t […]

Loneliness vs Solitude

Here I am. Sitting in my home. Alone. Per usual. I have had plenty of time to accept and align to my solitude, and usually I am alright with it. But there are times, like this one, where I find myself in angst. I find my heart screaming for love. My spirit calling to be […]

My Intimate

Designed from dreams, impressionable youth Sculpted, manifested Longing transcends hope, hope transcends destiny Are you real? Curated being, brilliance the subject Mind for mind, mind for soul Deepest desire cast into possibility Declarations carved into will Are you real? Finding without search Disarming without permission Your glint of light etches my craving Admiring the movement, […]

Infinite

Blank, mute, still Absorbing space Connecting with separation Cemented to now Impatience reverberates Shaking the calm Remain Searching for center Dwindled by shadows Remain Ego yearns Heart burns Casting nets into your sea Calling on the universe To awaken the fire within me Will I find my way?

Hello My Journal,

I’m sitting at my wee little dining table, having my morning oatmeal and coffee, soaking up this beautiful dawn. The stillness, the golden rays cutting through the sky, the soft pink defining each cloud, the gentle hum of the Katydid’s. This is how to start your day. I mean, naturally, I’d love to start it […]

Dear Journal, I’m Bored!

Well, im off. Again. In the air piled onto a packed plane filled with the most underlying apprehension. Stuffed between two complete strangers trying desperately to fit within my tiny confines. Practicing patience to no end. I will say, when you are as flighty as me, no pun intended, you can keep yourself relatively engaged […]

Shapeless

As it gusted against the frame It ripped through the moment Rushing toward the notion Completely twisted within itself Formless and unseen It builds a pressure uncontrolled Reaching, filling, shifting All while empty Howling in its hollow It elevates its direction Racing towards the sun Aiming for the heavens Silent pleading Searching for what was […]

Hello Dear Journal,

I’ve mentioned times prior within my writing that I get recurring dreams. I wouldn’t say I have them often but when I do have them there are patterns to them. For example, the recurring dreams come consistently during a period of heavy transition in my life. By consistently, I mean nightly until the period of […]

Dearest Journal,

I woke up today feeling extremely hollow. As if all my ability to feel left me in my sleep. Today, and I’ll say for today only, I literally feel nothing. It makes me wonder if this is a type of survival mode? Shutting down due to being severely overwhelmed? I don’t know. I truly hope […]

Chasing Freedom

With the wind blowing between my fingers And catching my hair in the bluster It radiates a sense of life Inspiring deep rooted courage And desire to dream, again I want to fly Casting aside the chaos of others Turning towards the unknown With a gulp of apprehension I step toward tomorrow And the need […]

The Mystic

Endless eye, born within I am awake Floating time for thought Consuming angst of heart My harrowed soul surrenders Light of life ignited in earnest All take heed Declaring my destiny in silence Firm be thy hand Firm be thy head Eclipsed desire, secretive tongue Fire of yearning drowning sense I regale with honesty I […]

Winds Carry

Warm gusts, soft howls Etchings in the sand Heart flutters, a change of pace Skies shift to a different consciousness And clouds part to scenery I can feel the sun I can feel Watching the sets I enter the deep Perseverance, courage, demand I will Even submerged Steady the light guiding I can see tomorrow […]
