The Girl Lost in Diamonds

The warmth of your hand in mine,A crystalized moment,I want to stay foreverIn your dazzling coolness,Blinded by the sparkling waves,A happy hysteria,I’d be glad to lose my mindIf it meant I could be lost in you. Uneven breathing,Traveling eyes,So many things I want to describe,But left speechless by the sublime. Cut me with your edges,AContinue reading “The Girl Lost in Diamonds”

A Daydream

Sometimes I feel like the main character in a Taylor Swift song. When I think of you — of us — I picture us slow dancing, barefoot in the living room. I’m wearing something flowey that sweeps the ground when you twirl me around. Sometimes you are in a suit and tie, other times you’reContinue reading “A Daydream”

My Fallen Angel

She glowed, ethereal and tragic,An angel fallen from grace,But I was drawn to her magic.Her eyes were translucent and distant,A pearl washed ashore,But I saw a shadow there, something of a misfit,Despite all the warning signs,I charged on, closed my eyes.For all the pain we endured,Bleeding hearts on marble floors,I feel I will never beContinue reading “My Fallen Angel”

A Sappy Love Poem

I’m writing this while waiting for my plane to take off. I’m praying WordPress’s scheduling feature decides to work for me today. If all goes according to plan, I’ll be in Florida by the time you see this! To understand why that’s so crazy for me, check out one of my previous posts, “Our FirstContinue reading “A Sappy Love Poem”

You Deserve a Voice

Growing in my self-confidence is one of my biggest goals right now. As I’ve mentioned before, for a long time, I trusted that other people knew better than me about the path forward. I think, in the blog posts I’ve made about this, I tend to oversimplify the achievement of growth. There is more toContinue reading “You Deserve a Voice”

Dangerous Love

You are a walking lucid dream,Somewhere between planes of existence,You shift.You strut through these different dimensionsWith the swagger of someoneWho Belongs.You can alter my realityWith a glance.You are horribly beautiful,The plume cloud of an explosion,A neon, radioactive glow,Like a moth to a flame,Right?Still, knowing,I dance down the pathTo my destruction.Because, even if I’m dismantled,I wouldContinue reading “Dangerous Love”

The Oak

Formidable, you stand.Weathering the storms,Taking their hand. As many days stretch to countless nights,Father Time tries to cut you down,You always win the fights. The foe thinks you stand alone, but it is not true.For you have your greatest loveStanding beside you. Their love is mightier than any sword!When the darkness gathers,You have the futureContinue reading “The Oak”

Our First Trip Together

Okay everyone, time to vent some of my fears to you. “But Julie, isn’t that what you always do?”, I hear you asking. Okay…maybe. Anyway, my fiancé and I are going to Orlando, FL at the end of the month and I’m very excited, but also a bit anxious. So, you know, still on brand.Continue reading “Our First Trip Together”

How Grief Kick-Started My Self Discovery

I’m trying to find out what exactly will make me proud of myself. That last part is extremely tricky. I have to figure out who I am separate from the relationships I let define me.

Hues

You remind me ofA blazing pink sunset,What I wouldn’t giveTo sit in your sunshine!And as the sky explodesIn purples and blues,To see the stars of twilightPepper your eyes. You remind me ofA bright green forest,What I wouldn’t giveTo understand your mystery!And as fall comesIn burnt orange and yellowTo see the warmth and comfort,You radiate. YouContinue reading “Hues”
