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.

Thankful November, IX

Thankful today for:

Lunch with a friend,
with whom I happen
to be related.

Orange chicken, fried rice,
and especially crab rangoons.

A church service with family,
and dad's quiet singing voice
as the hymn's play.

A happy dog
and a snuggly bed.

Thankful November, VII

Today, I am thankful for:

Friends and laughter,
ramen noodles and whipped cream
(best when consumed separately)

Family and cold pizza,
lazy nights at home

And blessings innumerable
that I am reminded of through song

Overwhelmed

I have fallen under a pile

of hard work and timely tasks

and I've been trying my hardest

to pull myself out,

with no luck. 

Slowly, eventually,

I will stand on top again.

Developing Story Resurfaced

I am working on a story,
that has been hiding for too long.

Words that I wrote so long ago,
characters who never really left.
