The First Whisper

a place where the silence softens…

Welcome to the quiet. 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 that could not be spoken…until now.

…and ends with your first whisper.

Whispers that break the silence…

Blood Burning

queens snorted and screamed

Heterovert

your slur—my ceaseless derogation

The Cold Chain

it gleamed silver in the muted air

Balloon

A red speck fades where hands fell short

Naïve Boy

I always believed life would be fair

Sparkling Emerald Eyes

your arms, like carved oak, protected me

Tearful Eyes

dulled my mind and left my soul despaired

When Roots Rot

deceit drained our desire to flower

“We are the ghosts we were told to silence.”
