Promises – such a sacred thing
To defy and deflate
The importance they veil.

A lone wolf
A phoenix
Retreated
Resurrected

I don’t dream of anything
If not for my values to align

To own your peaks of depression
Is among the mightiest virtues

The Mind

The mind –
A tricky place
To get lost in;
Eyes gasping
For fresh air.

Shallowness

Not an instant left surrendered
To the devouring shallowness
Unseen among flavored words

Bridges

Do not let them burn down bridges
You so longingly spent shaping

Go easy on me;
I break as easily
As a flower’s stem
On a rainy day.

Fairytales

Feeding on fairytales
Meant for all the others to live
They are as real and tangible
As only dreams would seem to be

Whisk(e)y

Beware of those
Who like whisk(e)y,
For they listen with care
And go beyond the seeable.
They don’t stall at pungent flavors –
Too drawn towards the aftertaste,
That always uncloaks a sweetness
Meant to be cherished by the few.
