I seek your scent in newly washed clothes I search for your presence in my shadows I look for your hand in every empty glove I listen for your voice when I’m all alone

Since it's my birthday, can I fully self-promote my poetry collections? I currently have 6 small collections on my Ko-Fi page (linked in bio), and 2 are completely free! It would mean the world if anyone would give feedback💜 -

My flower died Maybe I forgot it Too many times And now I regret it I never noticed How many petals Fell on the floor Or how the air Lost its scent I never noticed Untouched mugs The pile of dishes Crumbs on the floor If I can’t tend myself I don’t deserve more -

Another night, another stroll Hold my breath, bite the cold Through the fog, I see lights Mysterious glows, by my side Moon snuck out, for company The silent street, of serenity Another night, another stroll Lanterns held, by gentle souls. - Published in WisteriaMagz 2026💜 -

I avoid the colour yellow Because your words still echo It was your favourite colour Every shade of summer Now the sun is always too bright And so are the street lights Lemons bring me sour memories Like my golden accessories

It's funny the way light can dance & play— how it flickers through the pane it's lovely the way light might not be light at all but hope— flitting in at the edges of despair it's wonderful how light can be not light at all but you— the way your soul shines through the window of my mind.

I’m not enough. The words that form, from my own mouth, never fall where they should. I’m not enough. Someone else is walking, on top of clouds, scatter their words like rain. While I lay in my own bed. Where my thoughts, consume my brain. -
