Featuring three poems: Your Love, A Deeply Rooted Hope, and Hands Raised

Your Love

your love pierced me 
like a poisoned arrow 
dipped in a toxin 
I had no tolerance for 
it seeped into me 
spreading through my veins
infecting my entire being 
and settling in my bones 
once it took root, it blossomed 
unfurling and growing into something 
neither of us could have imagined 
your love will always be a part of me
stored safely in my bones 



A Deeply Rooted Hope

I am deeply rooted 
in myth and fairy tale 
desiring a world 
of magic, 
wonder, 
intrigue 
where actions 
have consequences 
people follow 
their hearts
and good triumphs 
over evil
where traits like
bravery,
kindness, 
and perseverance 
are rewarded 
and the deepest well 
the undercurrent of it all
is hope 



Hands Raised 

hands raised, reaching 
to catch a falling star 
granting your wish as it 
paves a path across the sky 
cracking open a world of possibilities, 
hope-filled wonder 
to grasp that which 
at first seemed unobtainable
now made possible 
by a sudden streak of light 
blazing through your heart
