audacity

Silk stage shimmer, velvet grin
Halo bright but paper thin
Curtain call with borrowed light
Spotlight soft as sleight of mind

Sugar glossed illusion dressed
Heartbeat sold as innocence
Hands wave high to hide the truth
Glass Eden cracking under youth

Warm light bending out of frame
Who decides what we can name
Tell me what is real, and when
Soft contradictions breathe again

Choreographed to seem unplanned
Every gesture second hand
Meaning whispered, then denied
Truth rehearsed but never tried

Mascara moon on trembling lashes
Fevered glow in mirrored flashes
Everyone wants love and blame
A spotlight built to dodge the flame

Warm light bending out of frame
Who decides what we can name
Tell me what is real, and when
Soft contradictions breathe again

Curtains shimmer with a borrowed glow
Truth gets filtered till it barely shows
Every spotlight hides a quiet bruise
Beauty staged in carefully chosen hues

Glass reflections bending what is real
Hands rehearsed in how they’re meant to feel
Honest faces buried under light
What we praise is never what we write

Silent rules we learn then keep
Costumes stitched in borrowed speech
Honest work in hidden places
Truth is braver without faces

Warm light bending out of frame
Who decides what we can name
Tell me what is real, and when
Soft contradictions breathe again

Glass Eden

We lean in like it’s gravity
Quarter light, shared vacancy
Skin remembers before the mind
Lonely hands keeping borrowed time

We don’t ask what the feeling means
Just trace it out in between the seams
Two warm bodies in borrowed air
Calling it love ‘cause it’s standing there

Is it love or the need to feel
Something warm that confirms it’s real
Is it touch or the fear of night
Holding whoever’s within our sight
Tell me why we’re closer now
Not by fate, but by here and how

We choose with our eyes half-closed
Hearts on autopilot mode
Same late trains, same corner store
Same tired thoughts we ignore

We don’t weigh it like diamond rings
Or engines built for decades of springs
We fall faster than we decide
Just to know someone’s at our side

Is it love or the need to feel
Something warm that confirms it’s real
Is it touch or the fear of night
Holding whoever’s within our sight
Tell me why we’re closer now
Not by fate, but by here and how

Late night talk in a dim same room
Future shaped like a quiet assumption
No great fire, no grand sign
Just two lives slowly aligning

We don’t ask if there’s more ahead
If somewhere else is a better yes
We settle into borrowed certainty
Calling comfort destiny

Sometimes I think in a different street
Different timing, different face to meet
Same heart maybe, different hands
Different map than the one I’m on

But thought drifts out, then circles back
To this warm weight in the dark I have
Not the best of what could be 
Just what keeps choosing me

Is it love or the need to feel
Something warm that confirms it’s real
Is it touch or the fear of night
Holding whoever’s within our sight
Tell me why we’re closer now
Not by fate, but by here and how

Maybe there’s more in another frame
Another life with a different name
But we don’t live in the endless spread
We live in what’s near, in what’s said

Hands meet first, the rest aligns
We call it meaning after the sign
Love arrives the quiet way
Not chosen first, just found midday

Love

Night drive

like to like you

Stream Everywhere

Morning slips through a fragile pane
Dust on the clock, in a quiet lane
One small breath in a borrowed frame
Every heartbeat balanced on chance
Some are born with a silver door
Some with trouble on the kitchen floor
Some with songs in their throat at birth
Some with silence they wrestle for

Hush now, hold what you’re given tight
We only glow for a borrowed time
Play your hand in the fading light
Every life is a fragile line
Hush now, don’t ask why
Just drift with this lullaby

Some wear beauty like borrowed fire Some learn hunger before desire Some are wired for the open stage
Some push boulders their whole life long
You can bend every rule you know
Pray in rooms where the numbers glow
But the dice still rolls where it wants to go
Even when your hands are strong

Hush now, hold what you’re given tight
We only glow for a borrowed time
Play your hand in the fading light
Every life is a fragile line
Hush now, don’t ask why
Just drift with this lullaby

One small tilt and the table turns
Years of saving in seconds burn
Glass so thin where the future leans
Every dream on uncertain strings
Yet we still dress our rooms with light
Still make vows to the coming night Still plant seeds in a shaking ground
Still fall down, still rise somehow

Hush now, hold what you’re given tight
We only glow for a borrowed time
Play your hand in the fading light
Every life is a fragile line
Hush now, don’t ask why
Just drift with this lullaby

HORIZON ✶ RADAR - "SOUTH SHORE" | JENNIFER LOPEZ - "I'M REAL" SAMPLE / Y2K POP / HYPERPOP

Smoke in the window the morning still pale
Years in their lungs like a slow drifting veil
Bones thin as glass in a trembling frame
One wrong step and the floor forgets names
Jobs fold quiet like chairs in a dream
Lonely rooms learning new ways to breathe
We count our mercy in near missed fate
Call it a blessing when the fall feels late

Old hands shaking on pill bottle glass
Time pours thin in a paper cup class
Waiting rooms ticking in measured doubt
Calendars lie about running out
We don’t speak fear, we just tone it low
Lower our voices everywhere it goes
Tables stay set for ghosts in the chair
Faith in the salt and the folded prayer

Four slow legs in a borrowed pace
Eyes still finding my darkest days
Every goodbye like a dress rehearsal
Every return feels universal
Monthly needles, the daily pill
Love in routine, in stubborn will
He breathes like time is a loan to him
So I breathe like I owe it back again

Lights stay on but they flicker thin
Numbers hover where peace been
We rent our calm in 30-day grace
Pretend tomorrow already paid its place
Debt rides quiet in the passenger side
Hope steering slow with one good eye
We don’t look far, we don’t ask how
We just keep the house from falling down

Badges beep me through borrowed doors
Lucky breath on unstable floors
Reorg weather in clear skied rooms
Storms decide without warning who moves
Five years feels like fog in math
I can’t see the end from the middle path
No keys resting in my hand
No name stitched beside my plan

35 tracing circles in shade
Youth slips quiet like a late train gate
Some lives read like closed captions on
Written ahead while I’m still midsong
I wonder if the one missed a turn
Or just learned in another world
I leave the porch light soft and low
Hope dressed casual so it won’t show

No burning bush, no heaven split sign
Just another morning asking for time
Keep them breathing, keep him strong
Keep me working when nights feel long
If this is all the faith I own
Let it be enough to carry me home

Hold my quiet prayer
As I fold my fear and set it down
Carry what I can for now

Quiet Prayer
