A Love Few Ever Find
Some love arrives quietly, then proves itself unmistakable, a rare certainty many spend a lifetime searching for and few ever find, understood best in nearness, not words.
When I Close My Eyes, I See You
He closes his eyes and she is dancing again, head tipped back, dress swaying, and for a moment every worry in his day goes quiet.

He asks it twice, once for each of them, and answers before she can. A love that feels less like falling and more like something written before either of them was born.
Goosebumps in a Cool Breeze
His stare lingers, and a cool breeze sets goosebumps dancing across her arms in perfect rhythm, her pulse quickening before she can name the feeling.
When a Memory Finds Me
A memory surfaces without warning, carrying the calm of two bodies resting in the quiet after passion fades. Some feelings return exactly when you need them most, as if they were waiting.
When I Try to Describe You
His smile gives everything away: the off-color white of his teeth, the widening eyes, the muted logic, all before he says her name.
A Rose in the Garden of My Life
I chased success, popularity and money when I was young. Then, she stepped into my life like a red rose and those dreams faded like clouds on a sunny day.
Where Water Meets Sky
Feet eased into the slippery crevices of a reef at noon low tide, saltwater at the waist and a vision cast toward the endless plain where water and sky meet.
Fluorescent in a Fabricated World
Men strut like roosters; women reconstructed to a shifting standard of beauty and I sit among them, a fluorescent bulb in a dense, fabricated room, waiting.
