Wrapped Up

Tears flow freely,
and unannounced lately.

One moment I am fine,
the next, tears are streaming
down my face and into my heart.

I capture them in tissue paper
and wrap up the memories
with bows and ribbon made of dreams.

So sorry for the delay in posts! Dead week was last week, and finals starts today! I will be done (and home) tomorrow afternoon. I plan on getting all caught up before the Christmas festivities begin!

Goodnight

I wrote you another letter,
black ink smudged on white paper,
scribbled furiously in the light of the moon.

I left all the words there;
emotions and heartache
poured out into the notepad.

And I wiped away a tear
as I placed it on the floor,
to enter a dreamless sleep.
