Missing you….

Poetry Today

I’ve won wars to be who I am….

Please understand

I’m not leaving you

Because I don’t love you

I’m leaving because

You are trying

To change me

And honey

I’ve climbed mountains

Burned down bridges

Won wars

To be who I am today©

Poetry Today

The night is broken…

I braced your back

Against my hands

As I poured my words over you

Poetry tracing the shape

Of your body

Tasting

Needing

The light, warm and sweet

Between your soul

A solitary longing

Coming undone

The night is broken

Screaming out our need

In reckless abandonment©

A Thousand Sunrise….

Poetry Today

I choose the darkness…

I choose the darkness

The late lament of my soul

Held me hostage

Pain dropped in my bones

Paralyzed my love for you

Your existence pierced

My reality

And I’m left to

Curate my pain in silence©

Pretty Little Bows…..

Poetry Today

Courage to change…

I like that

Your soul is quite

That you know

Who you are

Loving the parts

Of you that are unloveable

Embracing the scars

And the darkness

That once tormented you

You’ve found peace in chaos

And vulnerability

In your courage

To accept change

And that is a beautiful thing©

Poetry Today

Purity and Poison…

You are no mere poet

You my love

Is purity and poison

You are a lover

A healer of brokenness

You purged the pain

Of lost souls

Your words have filled

The empty cavity

Between my breast

You are a sonneteer

A lyricist

I have stitched your words

Into my soul

And my heart implodes

With beauty

Poetry Today

The Weeping of Time…

Dawn breaks

With jagged breath

The chill settled

In hearts too cold

To feel pain

And eyes too bitter

To see the stars

And stripes

Weeping©
