I always loved this place: cherry trees flanking the wildflower meadow, sunlight glistening off the lake beyond. I hurry towards our bench and, spotting it, gasp. He waited… Running, I throw my arms around him. He’s soft, warm; his scent conjures memories...

Time Passes

A promise is kept, a heart is broken...

He loved her enough to let her go, and she loved him enough to come back. Each year, true to her word, she returned to the sea. Although she was grown, he still cautioned against the forces of evil. When she found true love, he accepted him. And when she...

For Mom

A loss that will heal in time.

A phone call  It changed our world  You were gone  How do we carry on  Without you   You were our rock  An anchor when  Life was a raging storm  You calmed our fears  Held us when our hearts were broken Now we will anchor and hold each other  We will grie...

Happy That You're Gone

They say when someone you love dies, they go to a better place. Is it true...?

I’m happy that you’re gone Not because I wanted you dead Not because I never cared But because all hate, sadness and pain is gone   I’m happy that you’re gone Not because I don’t want you by my side Where you belong to love me, to catch me if I slip or sl...

Early in the morning  I wake Something seems wrong I have no idea why Very slowly I get up Not making a sound Checking and listening  I find nothing has changed I try to shake it off As I snuggle under the covers Memories come of you Knowing they will tak...

Scattering Apart

Where does love go when it has nowhere left to go?

Jin looked out over the city from the rooftop of one of the tallest buildings in Seoul, it was a breath-taking sight. And he hated it. He hated the crowds. He hated the busyness. He hated the noise. He hated the tall buildings. ‘Skyscraper’, such a simple...

Here I stand bound to you,Chained by history,Restrained by love.  Your words strike me,Ripping through my flesh,Marking me with your pain.  I alone take it,Welcoming your rage,Encouraging the hurt,All for your comfort.  She is rebellious and mocking,Backi...

Desolation

They must be what they can be.

Long story short as they used to say. The two of them cannot be intimate. It is not within their ability now. So the question is does it really matter? Does it actually make their emotions and their feelings and their truth less important to them? Do they...

A woman looks for her place at the end of the world.
