Poetry Today

In A Valley Of Thorns You Are Fire

rose

Today is the day

Interrupt the sky

Break the halos

Kiss the silver lining

Lay between magnolia blooms

Feel the incessant

Beat of your heart

Spread out your ageless wings

Of topaz

Of rose buds

In a valley of thorns

You are fire

And ice

You are majestic elegance

You are the lost melody

Found deep

Within trembling souls

You are delectable

My love

You will be the stories found

On the lips of legends

Poetry Today

Your Smile Is In My Blood

Words have no power

To describe what you

Mean to me

Come

Place your hands here

Feel the rhythm

Of your soul in mine

You are inside me

Your smile is in my blood

My love for you

Is indescribable

Poetry Today

Don’t Give Up On Love Too Soon

dandelion-4147033_960_720

I’ve seen it way too often, a lifetime decision made in the blink of an eye. A disruption of life, blindsided by betrayal, hurt by words, abused by love you though would save you. Emotions on life support, running on empty,  seeing no way out, you decided to walk away and gave up.

But I tell you this, sometimes you have to reach into the darkness and snatched back what was meant to be yours. You have to walk through the fire and rescue a heart that has lost its way. Sometimes you have to fight for what was meant to be yours.

Don’t give up on love too soon.

The Missing Face

The pain landed in her bones, a forever ache looking out from the wreckage of a fractured soul. What was meant to be a celebration has transformed into a gravestone. She walked the streets searching for signs of the gift she once held in her womb.

….the missing face

Eternally Beautiful

lily-2032690_960_720

She is an ocean soul

Eyes holding the universe together

A sunset of dreams

Filled her heart

She is eternally beautiful

The color of a thousand

Moon at dawn

Poetry Today

The Rush

I don’t need light to see you

I can feel you in my veins

I carry your heartbeat

On my tongue

My soul trembles

With the need to hold you

Your taste is madness

You are the sweetest rush

I’ve ever known

Poetry Today

Apple Blossoms

I’ve loved you

Ever since the Apple Trees

Blossomed

And the smell filled me

Up

With a deep longing

To hold You

To kiss every line

on your ambrosial

Face

There’s no more

Space

In me

I’m no longer my own

Self

Love buried in a field of

Apples

Your eyes

Supine

Begging the heavens

To let this moment

last

Forever

Poetry Today

Fragmented

dandelion-4144858_960_720

 

She wanted more than hollow words and pretty smiles, she wanted the darkness that lived in her mother’s eyes to touched her. She wanted to understand how someone so fragile could carry so much pain tucked away beneath her rib cage. All the damaged years, every lonely nights tells the same story.

She found a way to shine through the pieces of her fragmented soul.

Poetry Today

There’s Beauty In Her Sacrifice….

She’s no longer the girl

Who sits by

And let the world

Define who she should be

She has fire in her blood

And poetry on her tongue

She stands alone

And bared her scars

Showing the world

That there’s beauty

In her sacrifice

And she’s no longer

Afraid
