Carnations

Revival

The last of the dewdrop on the leaf was all but gone as she opened the mahogany shades to welcome the first few slivers of light into her damp room. Her eyes recoiled, trying to adjust to this sudden onslaught of brightness. It had been a long time since she had truly felt alive. Her […]

A Rainy Sunday Afternoon

On a rainy Sunday afternoon, your love came packaged in an olive notebook. Thoughts inked on paper, love hidden in between. Why is it that I only saw the crease? Only saw fragments of a broken destiny. Now as I lie in my chair, with your book in my lap, it is not your thoughts, […]
