Darkness – A Haiku
sometimes I pretend
dare to see happiness where
only pain prevails

A Day To Remember
The happiest day of his life was also his last, the death coming with such a swiftness, no one expected it to occur.
The vitality of his existence had been more evident on this day, than it had been in a long time, his eyes filled with love and hope, his stride with strength and determination.
Their special day, a day to remember, supposed to have been filled with the greatness of celebrating love, and the beginning of a new life.
Not the sudden end of one.
Maybe one day, she would be able to see through the grief and know that in the moment of his demise, he felt nothing, but love.

Give me three reasons
to not walk out of this door

Breaking Free – A Five Sentence Flash Fiction
Prison – A Haiku
the prison without
bars tightens around my soul
self-imposed pain
Breaking Free
Choices had to be made today, no longer could she put them to the side, hide behind what had happened in her past.
It was time to make a move, a large one, something that would get her unstuck, and away from this self-imposed prison.
But making a choice could come with the price of falling, of making a mistake, without the safety-net – the comfort of her usual, but well-known painful existence.
A soft noise broke through the desolate silence of the tiny bedroom.
She turned her head toward the crib, her heart beating faster, with a mixture of fear and love, and knew, that somewhere inside of her, she had no choice but to find the courage – for that little girl.
