WITHERLIGHT —under the violet sky, a lament

Under Van Gogh’s violet sky, I wrote a small lament for what won’t stay. “the sadness will last forever” is the wound; color is the salve. May we learn to hold lightly, then let go.

Borrowed Star — for “The Star I Couldn’t Keep”.

A candle for every name the room never learned to speak. Raised on quiet stories, this elegy listens for beginnings that never arrived and for love that holds what it cannot cradle.

SILHOUETTE —where even absence learns to embrace

In the mirror I meet myself—
not healed, not whole,
just comforting the emptiness staring back.

Some silences do not vanish,
they simply learn to hold us.

REQUIEM — not all returns are visible; some arrive as whispers folded into night, where grief kneels and love still lingers.

RUIT —when evening bruises itself

Light collapsed, memory cooled,
and silence became a ledger of ache.

MARIGOLD — some hues never fade; they hide in kites, notebooks and the quiet margins of memory.
