I’m failing
Falling hard
Into a funnel
Of finality
Fully aware
That fortitude
Is finally
Failing me

thoughts
Pastel perspectives
Pink, white, baby blue
These old perspectives
Now a different hue
Yellow, orange, fiery red
Newfound colors
Filling up my head
Dull pastels wash away
As brilliant fresh colors
Save the day
Head n heart is where they’ll remain
Full of vibrant thoughts
In a stunning terrain

Absent but near
I spent the day with you
Not in person but in mind
And in every single thought
It was you my heart did find

Window of warning
Window of warning
Opened above
Rays of sunshine
Warmth of love
Voice of reasoning
Calling her name
Beseeching her to leave
A life of shame
Reminder of things
Futures to come
Imploring her to remember
What cannot be undone
Choices, decisions
Whirred through her head
Her choosing too late
For she was already dead

The night of Nin
The night of Nin
Was where she’d been
Lost in a land
No one could understand
It was filled with loss
Of complete despair
Darkness enveloped
The stifling air
It was a place of enchantments
The evil kind
Full of wicked spells
Which sought to bind
But being a fighter
She broke free
Finally finding the path
That only she could see
And she took a chance
Leaving what she knew
The night of Nin
Had forced her to
Deliverance is what she found
In that new place
No longer bound
To a life of disgrace
