Poetry

I write short poems about anything that comes the mind. I write because it gives me clarity and perspective, and enjoy the passing of time. And I sincerely hope that some of them align, with you.

Visible thoughts
the influence of pen and paper
making worry disappear
by appearing words

Clearing paths of the mind
through illuminating ink
the good and evil
all the shades of gray
visible on display

It makes it real
suddenly out there to see
nowhere to hide
anymore or else to lie about

It takes courage to write
to exchange anxiety
for a public diary

A Public Diary

Read when you’re falling in love.

A love story. Complete with trust issues, being afraid to love, running away, and coming back again. This is my learning to love story.

‘‘…I am not sure about love anymore
it was never like this before’’

Read when you want to reflect.

All these poems contain questions about life, the choices we face, our relationships with others, how we spend our time, and more.

‘‘…I am terrified of time
what if I am wasting mine’’

Read when you need calm and gratitude.

Written when my heart overflowed with love and gratitude. About the beauty of being alive, what it means to be, and who I’d like to be.

‘‘…I do feel peace
when the ocean speaks…’’

Read when you’re feeling sad.

These are my poems about broken hearts, loss through miscarriage, loss through death, and the heaviness of it all.

‘‘what if I’m too late
and we can’t say goodbye…’’

Read when you’re on a journey or feel lost.

These poems are about finding your way in life, life-changing decisions, thoughts on the road while traveling.

‘‘…let them speak their mind
they just might be colorblind’’

Read when you need a little kindness.

Poetic messages from me to you, for when you need a little love, or trust, or reassurance that it will all be okay. Written with love.

‘‘…It’s okay to take it slow
even then you’ll grow’’
