…a place where the silence softens…
Welcome to the quiet you have carried for so long.
This is where the silence breaks…not with a scream,
but with the soft, deliberate tremble of truth.
These poems explore and express love, loss, abuse, memory, and the human experience. Every poem here is a whisper you weren’t allowed to speak…until now.
…and ends with your first whisper.
Whispers that break the silence…
The Cold Chain
it gleamed silver in the muted air
Lipstick Boy
resisted your masculine pressure
I Exist
to be rescued from this icy place
Heterovert
your slur—my ceaseless derogation
Sparkling Emerald Eyes
your arms, like carved oak, protected me
Naïve Boy
I always believed life would be fair
When Roots Rot
deceit drained our desire to flower
Tearful Eyes
dulled my mind and left my soul despaired
