Poetry Today

Walk On

Walk on In tender sorrow

Between the serpent’s den

Never let your guard down

Respect the journey and

fight for what you believe in

Step over the nonsense

Shield your heart

From chaos

Pain will bend you

Bring you to your knees

But it will never break you

Walk on©

Bravery

She painted a rainbow

Over her scars

Hid the dark clouds In her bones

And carry on With all the bravery In the world©

Poetry Today

Your Story of Bravery

You are strong and brave; your best life is right now. Live it without restriction, let go of everything that no longer serves you or bring you joy. This is your moment, your time to live above the mediocrity, to step outside the box that held you down. No matter the age, the circumstances, the abuse, the scars, make the decision to live the rest of your life worthy, filled with joy and peace. Yes troubles will come; some days will be rough, but you will be ready to fight. This is your legacy your story of bravery.

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

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©

Describe the color green…..

GREEN

A well overflowing

The deep pool of your eyes

Hearts filled with hope

The sweet kiss of dew

The earth reborn

Bare skin brushed by spring

My lips tracing

The hollows of your spine

The color of life

Clinging to the last

Ray of sunshine©

Poetry Today

There’s nothing wrong with hurting……

There’s nothing wrong with hurting. There’s nothing wrong with tears, failures, fears or sorrows. It’s in these failing moments that we discover our true strength. We unveiled the fact that we can rewrite our future, the past is the past, that we cannot change, but the beauty is! it cannot control you. Your imperfections will be the building block, your tears will be a pillar, your shame the cornerstone, your fears a shelter of acceptance, a haven of healing. This is the foundation of a new life. No one can define who you are. You are the writer, the editor and publisher of your story. Take your time, write it well, the world is waiting.
