Heartbeat

I miss the days when I would find poetry resting peacefully on the kitchen counter, hiding skillfully between the cracks of the tile bathroom floor.

silence

what is left with the poet after her words have been silenced? nothing but the static hum of passing time crawling past every wilted heartache, every kiss left out in the summer rain to rot inside stained pages that have forgotten the blistering sensation of abandonment no matter how hard she craves for them toContinue reading “silence”
