Why are all the best things I write just flowers and vanilla and sunlight? Honestly, I’ve detected a distinct theme. I’m not sure if I’m complaining. I do like flowers and vanilla and sunlight, and I do enjoy writing different types of light, especially that honey-gold, early-morning sunlight. I just wish I could be that good at writing anything else.
She read books like she ran into the woods, each tree consuming her slowly as she disappeared into the green.
You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough.

Shimmering lace
Falls to the floor,
Like a spool of silk
Unraveling,
Revealing a dimension
Not thought of,
Not seen.
The stars melt into your waterfall
That ebbs and flows
In turn
With the tide.
A million darlings wish on your missiles,
Your projectiles of light,
Falling through the sky.
Your same image
Reflects upon the Earth,
Ever shining,
Above us all
Like a silver thread
Connecting humanity.
Sweet, mellifluous rays of sunlight
seep through every crack, every seam
invading every crevice, every nook
until there is no space for night.
A million threads,
golden as fresh honey,
bright as a thousand suns,
tether me to the sky.
The shine of silk or velvet,
the beauty of a field of dandelions,
the yellow light,
sends a haze over everything,
obscuring all that is not good.
The morning is acissmus,
the night, a palimpsest.
Until you see the stars.
Oh, the stars deserve their own poem.
I cannot do them justice as a simple end to another.
How can one call themselves human without being enamored with the heavens?
"Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood ".
