Poem: Truth

Truth

I call you beautiful.
You deny and tell me
To look at your eye bags
Dry hands and scrunched back.

Poem: Elephant

Elephant

You have caged me
The moment your predatory gaze
met my unknowing eyes.

Poem: Look Up

Look Up

My dreams are woven
in the sky.
I hold your hand with
the starry rays
I have set out for you.
Feel me kiss your face
with the moonlight’s gaze.
The world is dark.
Sleeping.
So I pull you closer.
Keep you warm.
Rest now.
The heavens are holding you.

Food: Sharing is Caring

Pancakes Topped w/Dark Chocolate Chips & Dried Cranberries and a Poached Egg Topped w/Spiced Mustard

I have been craving all kinds of food as of late – from pancakes drizzled with dark chocolate to a warm bowl of ramen.

I am not lying nor am I bragging.

I can whip these up in the kitchen now. But I will not do that.

I think it is boring to cook for myself.

If I am going to cook, I want to share my culinary creations with my loved ones.

Poem: Flower-Lined Boxes

Flower-Lined Boxes

I reach for you
on this dusty shelf.
Strange how a box
can hold so many emotions.

Awe covers her face as she runs her fingertips lightly on the kitchen counter top. “Wow.” She laughs. “We have dishwasher.”

Leah nods her head. “Who knew we’d finally be up to date?”
