Falling Out of Orbit Now Available !!

Head to Amazon now to grab your copy!

Falling Out of Orbit Poetry Collection coming soon!

My fourth collection, Falling Out of Orbit, will come out next month!

I held a poll on Instagram to have your help deciding on the book cover. I ended up doing a little more redesigning after hearing some feedback.

An exact release date will be announced shortly along with the back cover so for now enjoy the front cover reveal! 

I decided to not do chapters since I didn’t want to crowd all the same theme poems into one space. So betrayal is spread out as are desire and tender love.

This collection really came together easily as I was sorting poems at the same time I was putting together my last book, Even the Leaves. I’ll have more info coming your way over the next few weeks so keep an eye out!

Haunting Memories

I’m memorizing every piece of you

I don’t mean to scare you or be rude

they just keep me company while you are gone.

I can play back a moment or conversation

and you go from my mind to right in front of my eyes

Your scent will linger in every memory

from the watch you wear

to the way your hands feel in my hair,

you’ll haunt me long after you’ve truly gone.

More like a Prayer

Hey baby, are you listening out there?

I haven’t heard from you in a while

and this is feeling more like a prayer

I haven’t stopped thinking about you

since you first caught my eye

And do you remember the first time

I kissed you cause you were too shy

We lit a flame but baby do you still feel the heat

when you’re so far away?

Out of Love

I’m sure I could fall

Out of love with you

If you just gave me the chance.

Let me see why you’re no good for me

So I can finally let this fantasy die 

Ghostly Touch

6 days, 6 weeks, 6 months

and I still can’t forget you 

I wish I could forget where your hands touched me

and your breath while you sleep

Your soft whisper and your needy kiss.

Happy Memory

Maybe all we’re meant to be 

Is a happy memory

A perfect moment in time

A merry picture to dusk off

when life knocks you to your knees.

It hard to accept it’s all over 

But at least I have 

Your gentle touch

And the smiles you gifted for me

to enchant me in my memories

The Answer is Simple

You drive my mind crazy with questions about us

Do you like me?

Should we date?

What are we doing?

Am I trying too hard?

Should I let that comment slide?

When are you going to see me again?

Is this love?

No.

Calling My Name

It’s still dark out and I didn’t sleep too well

So I’m awake and all emotional over you

Angry that I’m feeling so much when you never felt enough

I have to let this severed piece bleed out and finally die.

Because I’ve been cutting it

only to restitch and rebandage the hurt.

So I’ll take my half of the blame

If you finally quit playing this game

Because I don’t know if I’ll survive

another time with you calling out my name.

Dark Soil

The lack of security in your heart

keeps your mind on guard for the graveyard shift.

You’ve seen an unkind world close up, right in your own kitchen.

But even the most beautiful flowers are planted in dark soil

so please close your eyes and sleep tonight.

cold

The snow continues to fall, while I’m inside

hurting like Hell because you haven’t called.

I’m wondering if you ever really cared at all.

I can finally stop playing the fool

who thought we would always be together.

I’ve been through enough cold weather

and heart ache.

Between the Lungs

He said “I think you just need fingers

ran through your soul

like you’d be doing to my hair.”

I said, “that’s not fair.

Don’t say something you might not mean

It’s one thing to make me needy between the legs

but even worse to make me needy between the lungs.”
