Seas of twirling voices
seize the tidal waves.
Tsunami days bring
memories
that rampage solidity,
drowning the ground.
Grief abounds as water
carries a son or a daughter
into another dimension.
We're connected
by transitions.
1.9 people per second
are lost in an ocean
of ghosts.

The air was still as ghosts pressing against my poppy-red umbrella when all trust bloomed and faded into the cinnamon twists in your stomach. The ghastly drowned. The gods refreshed our madness in ravenous rain and her eyes like silk gowns.
With all intent,
Dandelions.

Slow burn. Small town. Big emotions. A story of rebuilding your life after loss, forbidden longing, and a love worth waiting for. The ebook for Square Hearts is 1.99 today! It's a second-chance romance with a twist, where the woman also falls back in love with herself, too.
Late, but welcome
as a tulip in July,
frail as forgiveness
bathed in Cancerian rays.
Hand in hand, homecoming
from rocky detours:
skip today, slip tomorrow,
tethered to October rain.
Incessant patter,
unalloyed weeping.
A river that slows
under December’s frost.

the end rarely comes
in a welcoming manner
but every beat of my heart
will remain grateful to you
if we ever say goodbye
for there have been
many seasons
in my life
you are the first rain
on my #barren heart

Impure ones bond together
Stable scaffolding
Holding them up
They’re not so
Perfect
Eyes say
Hearts say
Pretty
Tho’ they are
Many a flying
Firefly shining bright
Surrounded in pure #unalloyed darkness
#vss365#prompt for 14 May 2026 is #unalloyed
the journey of us
keeps bringing
moments of unbridled
and unalloyed joy
making me grateful
for such priceless gifts
Look I’m going to warn you, if you come to my book signing I’m going to make it awkward cause I’m going to be that excited to see you. I’ll try not to hug everyone but I can’t make promises.
