night time in the moonlight

remember when we’d look at the sky and watch the stars shine,
your hand in mine?

time passed by and now i look in your eyes-
oh how they remind me
of the stars in the night.

fire

it was warmer when you were around,
toasty in the night, cozy by day.
help me find that light again,
i think i'm losing my way.

and how this tunnel vision hurts,
the light can be blinding.
the only path i have is forward but
i only think of rewinding.

Spoiler! :
veer! I love how emotive your poetry is, even with how short and sweet it is. You pack a lot of feeling into just a couple of lines and I’m here for it. My favorite has been your first poem, since it has such a potent longing-ness to it. I also love the starry night vibe of it, haha. I look forward to reading more!
[insert really cool and fun quote here]
Check out my novel shenanigans.
Or request a review from me.

autumn interlude

the past will define us, and the future is still a while away
but the memories of our past will still come out to play.
for better or for worse, while they'll be here to stay,
it's comforting to know we've made it through all of our worst days.

faded sunlight

i hate how quickly
the warmth of a cup of coffee fades-
yet i cherish the small few moments of the heat in my palms.
the smoke on my face.
the burning inside me as it goes down after each sip.

it's the simplest reminder i have to enjoy the moment while it is still there,
not after it has left.

the first

even more than the feeling was the thrill of thinking
“maybe i made it.”
thinking maybe it would last, because
the fear of losing something you waited so long to get
was stronger than the reality you fought to repress
that it was no longer even worth holding on to.

L

lonely and loveless.
how many lessons leave us longing or
losing sleep unpacking leftover feelings
we thought we lost
a long time ago- living in a world full of
liars disguised as lovers that we simply have to
tolerate
if we’d like to find our sanity
we swore we lost a long time ago.

grey skies by daylight

i made you some tea,
do you remember?
after the snow fell back in december?

i never thought i’d make it past september,
but look at me now-
happy as ever.

your hands lay in mine,
so soft and tender.
your eyes remind me of warm, sunny weather.

and each of your words
they’re as soft as a feather.
i’m happy the universe put the two of us together.
