Freque Magazine, Vol 3, Part 2

I am honored to be published in Volume 3, Part 2 of Freque Magazine's special dark-themed issue! Volume 2 is dedicated to the creative and conceptual aspect of their dark concept. I wrote my poem, Wake Initiation, for my 10th grade writing class, and it's lovely that, 4 years later, it found a home in this beautiful independent magazine. I don't think I've written poetry since high school.

Wake Initiation

Evanescent wisps of kisses falling from my fingertips

Like raindrops plummeting upon blushing petals

So forlorn in the forest of fog

Where I cannot sleep

As they prey upon my starlit nights

My whispers of memories

Impending to drop like a fragile thread

And you can never be near me

But when the rivers of dawn illuminate the world

I can only see your face in a mere breath’s width

Before the smiles fade
