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 Finality of Life…

I never got to say goodbye

Death was swift

The finality of life

Crashed into me

And I’m left with

Feelings

Unresolved

And painfully

Alone©

Sometimes Love Stays…

sometimes you have to reach into the darkness and snatch back what was meant to be 🌸…don’t give up on love too soon.

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©

Poetry Today

Your pain is in my blood….

I see you

In between the crowd

Lost in a world of chaos

But no matter where you are

I see you, I feel you

Your pain is in my blood

My soul weeps with yours

My heart breaks with yours

With every teardrops

I’ll paint our world

In poetry

Words deeply imbued

With hope©

Poetry Today

Gravestone in my eyes…

Soul derailed

Heart slipping on

On brokenness

Regretting the days

Spent in isolation

No one knew the strength

It took to walked

A straight line

Little by little

Anger stole my joy

No one saw the gravestone

In my eyes.
