You knew I was broken…..

You knew I was broken

Scraps and bones remain

Still you walk on the edge of

Death with me

Whispering a thousand reason

Why you need me

Why together we are

light and darkness

And for your heart

To keep beating

You need my light……

……..I have never heard such beauty

such simple words

Holding me between life

And death©

Poetry Today

Recovering…

ballerina-3055155_960_720

Recovering In my head

Ghost slipping on broken dreams

Regretting the days spent in isolation

No one knew the strength it takes

To walk a straight line

Little by little

Anger stole my joy

No one saw the

Gravestone in my eyes©

Poetry Today

Calm my raging soul…

‪Perhaps‬

‪One day you will understand‬

‪What’s it’s like to be broken‬

‪What’s it’s like to love‬

‪Hard‬

‪To bled for words‬

‪That never came

‪To unravel‬

‪In tears‬
‪Until then‬

‪Hold me softly‬

‪Calm my raging‬

‪Soul©‬

Hold me…save me from myself….

Poetry Today

Let faith rise again….

Needing

A little depth of peace

Soul holding on to emptiness

Love taken for granted

Just once

Let faith rise again

In the heart

Of people©

Poetry Today

Let the world hear you roar…..


They said you were weak

Simple and irrelevant

They threw you aside

Stepped all over you

Words of anger and hatred

Burnt scars in your soul

You crawled in the shadows

But you didn’t die

You were determined 

To strife

To rise

Like wind and fire

You didn’t die

You take root

In the heart of death

You are a survivor

A warrior

You build

And plan

And at the exact moment

When they thought you died

Your roots spread wide

And you rise

Like air

Like wind

Like fire

You rise stronger

Out of the barren ground

Up from between the cracks

And hardship

You soar

Filled with a purpose

A hope 

A plan

Taking the world by storm

Fulfilling the destiny

Of your ancestors

This is your life

You define your walk

Your strength

Your purpose

Your hope

Your dreams

No one

Can take that from you

Now rise

And let the world

Hear you roar©

Poetry Today

How I ache for you….

Love

Unchanging 

Eternal

Fill my ordinary life

With rhapsody

And rhythm

Touch my naked soul

With your beauty

Love me in the wild

Amorous places of your heart

How I ache

For you©

Why do you write….


Life is not perfect, the days are evil and harsh, we closed our eyes to the bad and indifference. We cry and laugh, we live and die, we write to remind our weary souls that life is not pretty, but it’s worth living©
