Samples

I’ve been writing one new poem a day for all of 2025. Here are some samples of my original writing – Check out my socials for more!

9/19

It irks
More than it aches
This many days
Out from the start
And it gives
More than it takes
And by ‘it’
I mean my heart
And it sucks
To see you thrive
While I languish
In my art
And if I could wrap my head around
What drove you to depart…

We’ll never know now, will we?
It’s murky, it’s ineffable
I know that being apart works
You have yours, I have mine
And most days I am fine, but still
It irks

10/8

Periodically
I try to revisit
Things that
Kept me alive
Back then

And I’m
A piece of pottery
Cracking
In the kiln
Unsure if I’ll
Make it out
Still whole

Just have to
Wait and see
But who knows who
Can overcome this
And will you
Still love
The next me

10/16

Perfectionism grating
Soon as creation starts
Bullseye always shrinking
And I’m running out of darts
