…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…
Naïve Boy
I always believed life would be fair
Heterovert
your slur—my ceaseless derogation
Lipstick Boy
resisted your masculine pressure
Fast Cars & Fragile Hearts
something to numb the past and silence
Mental Agony
my body stood naked and exposed
When Roots Rot
deceit drained our desire to flower
I Exist
to be rescued from this icy place
Sparkling Emerald Eyes
your arms, like carved oak, protected me
