Woke up with this sentence bouncing around in my head...
"I knew you weren’t mine, but I still loved you in the spaces where hope and restraint quietly collide."

For my third poetry book, I'm considering a collection of erotic poems. What do you think?

I don’t ask for promises,
or certainty,
or a future written in ink.
I only ask that you
stay still long enough
to let my love reach you
and trust me to hold
what you carry, gently.

It gives me hope
when I realize
my heart still knows
what you need,
that my presence
can reach you beneath
your sorrow's armor.
I touch you in
the quiet places,
where truth loosens
and tears arrive.
And you let it happen,
because you don't
know it’s me.

I miss you in the
quiet places
where my thoughts
slow down enough
to notice the ache.
Your absence presses
against my chest
like weather,
unavoidable,
changing the shape
of every day.
I carry your name
through ordinary hours,
and everything I do
feels like waiting.

The calendar turns,
bright and ceremonial,
but my chest carries
the same old fracture.
January arrives with
clean air and loud promises
but never asked my
heart for permission.
I step into the new year
with your name still aching,
learning that time moves forward while yearning stays.

Now that I've finished the "poem a day" challenge I set for myself in 2025, I'll be taking those poems and putting them together to create my 2nd book of poetry (available in spring 2026). I'll still post poems here, but probably not every day. 😊💜🙏

I don’t want
fireworks or
resolutions
or a calendar
heavy with
promises.
All I carry into
the new year
is a quiet dream
of your hands
choosing mine
without hesitation.
Let the months
be ordinary
and the days
unremarkable.
If they end
with your love,
I already have
everything.

I can hardly believe it, but both my new poetry book and my first paranormal romance novel are finished! 😁
If everything continues to go on schedule, the poetry book will be published in Spring 2026 and the novel in Summer 2026!

I would cross
empty cities and
unmarked roads
with no map
but the pull
of your name.
Distance becomes
a suggestion when
you are waiting.
I would travel
through weather,
doubt, and dark
just to stand
close enough
to feel your breath.
Anywhere becomes
home the moment
I reach you.

I want you
in the quiet way
hunger waits.
Desire pools
in my chest,
steady & patient.
You move through
my thoughts like
heat through stone.
Every choice
narrows until
you're the
sole direction.
I feel myself
leaning toward you
without permission.
Even restraint
knows your name.

I love you in the
quiet spaces
you never enter.
My hope waits
where your certainty
already moved on.
Every kindness
I don't receive feels
like a eclipsed sun.
To want you is a
daily struggle
I never confess.
I keep choosing you,
even when you
don’t choose me.
