I miss you
But not in the way
That a person misses that restaurant
That closed down
And damn now I can’t get my churrasco anymore
But in a way
That a child misses their blanket
That there is an indescribable longing
For something that is no longer there
And damn this actually physically hurts
I miss you
And that’s never going to stop
You...

If you’re lucky enough to love her
There’s a few things you should know
Like her favorite flower is a lily
Or Twizzlers done in bouquet
That she loves her morning workout
Started with a smoothie
Her nephews have her heart
Even when they’re wild
She’s stronger than the mightiest oak
But even they can break
So give her hugs just because
Kisses on her...

There was a time
Where hurt feigned hate
Like a method actor
Setting their scene
But hidden below
Was only love
Concealing its nature
Attempting to mask
True feelings inside
Pretending to move on
So no one could see
The mirror in them
Reflecting you
A million different faces
Each containing traces
Of a love that was lost
And it's lasting cost
Of the flame...

Days blend in
To memories of
The day we first met
So clear in my mind
The day my Eyes
Locked with yours
You were the missing piece
To my puzzle called me
Fit so perfectly
It had to be right
Burning hearts become one
Until the days are done
You were my dream
The one just for me
Now my heart holds on
To...

I hate that we're ghosts
Set adrift through the world
Pretending what we had
Perished in a fire of our own making
The dreams that we shared
Only whispers on a faint breeze
Blowing frivolously into the space between
I hate that the best of friends
Drift apart
As if they were sailing a raging sea
Washing ashore in the unknown
I hate
In the...

If I had a seed to plant for each of the days
That I'd have written you but was too afraid
I'd have grown the most beautiful forest
Filled with the lushest of trees
Life so abundant
It would have its own pulse
Beating to the sound of the songs of the birds
Singing the tune of everlasting gratitude
In return for their existence
An...

I’m caught up on all the little things
Watching the world pass by
When nothing else mattered
But the Spark in your eye
I look for the way your hair
Cascading in its vibrant
Falls over the soft angles
Of your face
In every strand
Lives the comforting scent of you
I listen for
The sweet honey of your voice
Coating my entire being
With...

Letting go,
Has been described as,
The act of getting to know
Yourself so deeply that
All delusions fall away.
Letting go and moving on
Are two completely different
Sets of ideals
That we, far too often,
Compare together
Moving on is allowing
Oneself a moment to breathe
When everything feels so heavy
Your legs could be swept from beneath you
We "move on" because...

A few weeks ago my mother, who was my biggest cheerleader sadly passed away after a long battle with cancer. This is for her....
Mom,
You were the light that colored
So many of our skies with the
Most brilliant of colors
Your smile was one that
You got from Pap
And it welcomed everyone
To the room
Your kindness
It is the sweet breeze...
