Poem: Daybreak

Poem: Daybreak

When we came to an end,

I felt for a while as though

The sun would not rise again;

I stayed up until dawn to see

If this could prove to be true –

But when the sun rose as usual

And my heart sank further,

I realized that I shouldn’t expect

That the day wouldn’t break

When my heart was already broken.

Poem: Cotton Candy

I’ll dream of you

In navy blue

Like you wore on that late spring night

When the festival light

Of fireworks bright

Was reflected back by your wide eyes.

I’ll sing to you of the world as I knew it

Amid the neon boom

That pounded in my ears.

It was the same night that I knew I loved you,

Cotton candy caught in my curls

Like the woven thread

Of my fingers intertwined with yours,

When I stood close enough to you

That I thought I could hear

The navy blue neon boom

Of your heartbeat matching mine.

Poem: If You Take My Hand Tonight

If you take my hand tonight,

I’ll show you a love as bright

As the moon reflected in your eyes;

A love as true

As a clear afternoon sky is blue;

A love as real for me

As I hope it is for you.

Poem: Thunder

A Haiku

Rumble and roll are

Words we use to try to calm

The sky as it screams.

A Plant Update and Another Thank You~

//A non-poetry post

Hello, hello!

Thanks so much for 75 followers! As I've said before, I appreciate that you've taken the time to read my writing and stuck around for future posts. I'll keep on doing my best! I have some poems lined up for this week, so I hope that you enjoy/resonate with them~

I mentioned in an earlier post that I started growing some small plants. As an update, several of the seeds that I planted have sprouted (but I don't have any flowers yet). Watering them is one of the first things that I do every day, and since they first started sprouting, they have looked different every single time. My ever-changing (albeit tiny) garden has given me something simple to look forward to every day since it's different each time, and I definitely recommend starting one as a little summer project!

I hope that my blog grows as well as my plants have (they have leaves already, which is exciting) and has some flowers soon (cheesy, I know).

Anyway, thank you (again)!

Sending good vibes to you all,

Poem: Sleepy Me

A Haiku

A busy bee and

A sleepy me - neither of

Us can fall asleep.
