Silent Betrayal
It’s an interesting dichotomy, When your body is slowly failing you, Feeling like an invisible number in a huge cog, Watching and waiting for your turn to be seen, Hoping it hasn’t all been for nothing, Worrying about the results and what’s to come, As people scurry to and fro, seemingly with things to do,…

Wash Away
Your kisses, Left on my skin, Your fingertips, Trail marks on the side of my waist, Your beautiful eyes Follow me as I walk around the room, I don’t want any of them to wash away, Sometimes I delay taking a shower, So your scent can linger on my skin, Just a bit longer, Your…

Love Reciprocated
I used to think of love as a limited resource, If you give too much of it away, You’ll eventually be left wanting,Something to keep to yourself,And guard away from those who aim to abuse it,In some ways, this is still true,But now, I see love as expansive, A boundless entity within me, One that…
