During the cold nights
My heart waits up late for you
Hoping you'd come home

The big orange creep —
The nastiest pumpkin head
I have ever seen.

Slow creep of winter —
Walking on the crunchy leaves
Towards an icy grip

I think witchcraft may just be open source spirituality

Jumped out of my skin
3 AM baby laughing
Skeletal moment

Under my bonnet —
I find my messy porked heart
Can I push to start?
Does it need the kiss of life
Or does it need to be scrapped?

What year are you in?

**Let Me In**

I want to see the
parts you don't show anyone
Taking off your dress

I see your armour
How do you carry that weight?
Let me see your scars

Will you let me in?
Deeper than anyone else
has been before me

Quantum entanglement,
spooky action with distance
connected so strong.

Like physical wounds
They feel most sensitive
Just before they heal

———

My scars were always there
Relics of my pain‑filled past
Now I see healing

The absence of you —
Like ice rushing through my veins
Colder than winter

Snippet from Sugar On Wounds

Sugar on Wounds is part diary, part memoir, and a survival story. It's a window into the final years of therapy training, where old wounds resurface and self love becomes a radical act.

I've never seen the
moon up close, so I'm unsure
if it's made of cheese

Choose not to engage
It doesn't mean you have lost
There's power in peace

Art is just another language to express yourself. It can't be wrong.

Write a line (even one word) for each letter!
Bonus if you write something connected to the word.

Rude: offensively impolite or bad-mannered.
