Choices…

flower-182407_960_720

We have a choice each day

To listen to the music of our hearts

To dance to the rhythm of our souls

To make a difference

Today I choose to see the beauty of the rising sun

Poetry Today

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

Holding off the impending darkness….

light-dark

No one notice that the days are getting shorter, that hope is fading. No one seems to care. These days I notice everything. The whips of smoke that seems to spell your name in the sky. The sweet call of hummingbirds reminding each other of their undying love. The way memories taste like ash and licorice. There’s a fountain of pain that rises up within me, each one recounting my failures, my regrets, my past. The countless ways my heart wraps around dead words, trying to bring them back to life. This world once light me on fire, filled me with hope, kissed me each morning with it’s glorious beauty,  now I search the days trying to find something worthy, something that will remind me that life is worth fighting for.

Life is a battle

A cadence of irreversible decisions

The truth bleeds out

From the edges of time

We see nothing

We feel nothing

Until it’s too late

Death lick the nonsense

That flowed from our tongues

We have out played our hands

The curtain is falling

Our nakedness exposed

The air is tight

Thunder is gathering

Exile memories

Bond together

Fighting for survival

At night we sleep with the demons

And rise expecting the world

To bend to our will

We are mere puppets

Walking a thin line

Between life and death©

Poetry Today

Creating beauty out of ashes

volcanic-eruption-67668_960_720

My heart is heavy

Filled with a litany of devotion

At times I feel the universe

Searching deep within me

exposing the secret places

where my words are born

Where they take the form

Of beauty and love

A tangible space

Where my soul breathes

Life into dead things

Creating beauty

Out of ashes©

Poetry Today

Cage of bones


The whispers

Came

Midnight open its

Delicate ears

Cage of bones

Dances

To the sound

Of souls

Crossing into

The pearlescent

Poetry Today

Never be afraid to dream

beautiful-camellia-flowers-stock-photo

In reality

I’m destined

To mediocre

To the every day

insecurities of life

But in my world

Greatness tremble

In my bones

I walk the streets

A dream coiled

Within a dream

And

Hope

Sitting on my tongue©
