Demure

Ink in my veins with a story to tell.

[her-mosaic-monet]

tincture

Alas, I'm best in

small doses. You must let your

immunity build.

[her-mosaic-monet]

the long journey of goodbye

The space in my heart

for you is overgrown with

the want to be good.

[her-mosaic-monet]

restless sleep

My dreams are figments

of fantasy thrashing at

reality's steel.

[her-mosaic-monet]

aging

When did thirty stop

feeling like a death sentence

and more like reprieve?

[her-mosaic-monet]

metamorphosis

I will shed my skin

of cynicism and make

room for wings of hope.

[her-mosaic-monet]

echoes

Falling into old

habits like water carving

memories in stone.

[her-mosaic-monet]

wake up

Stand on the edge of

epiphany like morning

sun's horizon beams.

[her-mosaic-monet]

freckle

Your face is a night

sky, scatters of stars lighting

the path to your lips.

[her-mosaic-monet]

LIGHTNING!

Woman is wonder, and

the sky cracks at the shake of

her hips, nature's force.

[her-mosaic-monet]

pray for me

Death shakes off the dust

on his pin-striped suit and greets

me like an old friend.

[her-mosaic-monet]

christ complex

May my body feed

you, my blood sustain you. All

that I am is yours.

[her-mosaic-monet]

eternity

There is still time. Till

mossy bones crumble and teeth

turn ash, there is time.

[her-mosaic-monet]

my father's daughter

I search for purpose

in the roots of my veins and

branches of my heart.

[her-mosaic-monet]

ballad of a former gifted kid

In love with dreams of

what could have been, bitter from

Disappointment's song.

[her-mosaic-monet]

hurt less, little one

The older I get,

the kinder I am to the

child I once was.

[her-mosaic-monet]

self(less)

What a burden to

pour into cups that would not

dare empty for you.

[her-mosaic-monet]

in the wild

A fire can never

feel lonely. It sparks and spreads,

embers joining hands.
