Forever Home (a poem)
2023-09-23
Our final home,
more than a house on a street.
It was the place we could be
you and me, together, forever.

everything is here
for but a moment
like a whisper
half-spoken
nearly existing
vanishing
in the soft light
of a new day
A Meaningful Life (article)

for a form of greatness.
To others it may be
to make it through each day.

I wish I had spoken
one simple, kind word.
It may well have been
the only one heard.
Now it’s much too late.
Life goes on without.
Memories will fade
but regrets they do not.
It’s been a while (a poetic letter)
2022-01-04
My mom used to write letters at the end of each year, to keep friends and family up to date on the happenings in our family.

amidst the storms swirling round about me,

towards those in most dire need,
those who may not appreciate or understand
the choices I make each day.

I find it funny,
not in a humorous way,
that I have hope.
That I can still have hope.
…I just keep holding on.
“I remember” (a poem)

TW: Suicide
I feel my chest heave as I walk through the kitchen.
Heavy breath, warm and wet.
My pace deliberate, pronounced.
Cold steel grazes my neck, awakening memories.
