slumber thoughts
Sleep is rarely just sleep. This illustrated cosmic poem drifts through late-night rituals, restless thoughts, nostalgic memories, and the childlike anticipation that tomorrow might hold something magical. A gentle reflection on insomnia, hope, and the beautiful chaos of the mind before dreams begin.
suburban twilight
As departure approaches, ordinary places become extraordinary. This cosmic illustrated poem reflects on home, memory, familiar roads, deer-traveled paths, and the quiet realization that change does not diminish beauty. A meditation on growing up, moving forward, and carrying pieces of home wherever the journey leads.
political listerine
Political Listerine is a sharp, surreal meditation on anger, love, and the strange spectacle of modern life. Blending biting humor with noir-inspired symbolism, the poem explores personal freedom, political tension, and emotional rebellion through wolves, roses, alcohol, and cosmic imagery. Equal parts satire and social commentary, it imagines a universe gargling political mouthwash before spitting the whole mess back out.
snow
A blanket of snow settles across the earth while a single dandelion stands frozen in bloom. The Dandelion Opened Too Soon explores timing, hope, patience, and the beauty of existing between seasons.
tiny blue bead
Sometimes a single object can unlock an entire chapter of our lives. The Tiny Turquoise Bead reflects on memory, family, loss, and the hidden emotional weight carried by everyday objects, transforming a forgotten bead into a portal through time.
egg
A symbolic noir journey through memory, intuition, and self-forgiveness. Birds, broken glass, lightning, and a fractured Easter egg heart illuminate a path back to oneself in this original poem and artwork by The Ivory Rose.
