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…

Sparkling Emerald Eyes

your arms, like carved oak, protected me

I Exist

to be rescued from this icy place

Heterovert

your slur—my ceaseless derogation

Tearful Eyes

dulled my mind and left my soul despaired

Fast Cars & Fragile Hearts

something to numb the past and silence

Blood Burning

queens snorted and screamed

Ti Amo

a rush of warmth as I remembered

Naïve Boy

I always believed life would be fair

Mental Agony

my body stood naked and exposed

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