The First Tale
I remember my first crush. I was barely twelve years old, chubby-cheeked and completely naive. My hands would tremble whenever he walked past me in our school hallway, maintaining the perfectly rhythmic bounce that only ‘big boys’ had.

From Prodigal
Dripping with blood, weighed down by my filth You looked at my crimson robe and smiled Your body was broken, but your spirit called out to me “child..” Love so overwhelming Yet so reassuring It pours like an avalanche Yet kisses with feather-like affection Its sweetness kills my bile And forces my closed heart open… Continue reading From Prodigal
