The First Whisper

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…

Lipstick Boy

resisted your masculine pressure

Sparkling Emerald Eyes

your arms, like carved oak, protected me

Balloon

A red speck fades where hands fell short

Tormented Love

shame covered me with the filth you sowed

The Cold Chain

it gleamed silver in the muted air

On This Day

the mob’s cheers and chants battered my ears

Fast Cars & Fragile Hearts

something to numb the past and silence

Ti Amo

a rush of warmth as I remembered

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