Poetry Today

Anchored

I’ve anchored myself

In your love

Pulled you into the depth

Of my arms

Kissed you slowly

As if time was mine to

Command

I’ve painted your soul

Upon my skin

So the world could see

This ebullient love

I called mine

Poetry Today

Give Yourself Grace

If you are feeling worn out and tired. If your heart is tied up in knots and there are darks clouds gathering in your soul.

Give yourself permission to let go. You are worthy, you are able, you are enough.

This season of hardship and chaos will pass, and you will once again feel peace in your soul.

Give yourself grace today!

Keep It Simple

Keep it simple

Protect what you love

Surround yourself

With beauty

Don’t settle for second

Find joy in living©

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

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

Poetry Today

Unfinished Portrait…..

‪I’ve lost the need‬

‪To love again‬

‪Unfinished portrait‬

‪Held pieces of her smile‬

‪Memories haunt‬

‪The night‬s

‪And the day‬s

‪Wept in loneliness‬

‪I forget how to breathe‬

‪How to sing‬

‪How to smile‬

‪Pain born and die‬

‪In my bones‬

‪My heart forgets‬

‪The taste of freedom‬

‪Oh to see her again‬

‪To feel the warmth‬

‪Of her tender arms‬

‪I would shake‬

‪The heavens©‬

Poetry Today

Sweet Beautiful Chaos 


Let it out

The echo

Release the stillness

Inside

Step through the void

Invade my senses

Turn my world

In sweet beautiful chaos©

Poetry Today

When Beauty Fades

large

When beauty

Slowly fades

And time

Unforgiving

Takes all

Leaving behind

Callous hands

filled with dust

And the remnants

of dead desires

When feet

Laden with burdens

walk the bitter streets

And painted skin

Of Amber and Starlight

withered away

Your soul

Dancing atop beads

of Jasper

Atop glacier filled mountains

Your eyes bursting like limelight

Beneath the glorious sun

Even then

You remain

An eloquent song©

Hidden Beauty

She carries a secret

Broken tongue

Honor a pledge

In life and death

Unloved and ashamed

Hidden beauty

Claimed by the Shadows©
