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…

Heterovert

your slur—my ceaseless derogation

Lipstick Boy

resisted your masculine pressure

Blood Burning

queens snorted and screamed

Fast Cars & Fragile Hearts

something to numb the past and silence

The Cold Chain

it gleamed silver in the muted air

Naïve Boy

I always believed life would be fair

Ti Amo

a rush of warmth as I remembered

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