Forgiveness…

Today

I tried to write about

Forgiveness

Then I thought of you

And the words

Drowned in bitterness©

Poetry Today

I’ve won wars to be who I am….

Please understand

I’m not leaving you

Because I don’t love you

I’m leaving because

You are trying

To change me

And honey

I’ve climbed mountains

Burned down bridges

Won wars

To be who I am today©

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

The Weeping of Time…

Dawn breaks

With jagged breath

The chill settled

In hearts too cold

To feel pain

And eyes too bitter

To see the stars

And stripes

Weeping©

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

Are you listening…..

I am still hopeful, deep down in the silence

Beneath the darkness, a flame still burns

I’ve seen too much, I’ve been hurt too much

I’ve prayed too much, to give in now

I’m painting a rainbow over my scars

I’m washing the ugliness from my tongue

I am speaking to the mountain

And the walls and the empty spaces

Receptive souls will hear, the broken heart will hear

Grieving families will hear, the children will hear

The confused and disillusion will hear

They will come, they will listen

For in our bellies, rooted deep we have an innate

Desire to see change, to feel hopeful

So today, come as you are, hear my voice

Let change begins with you and me

One voice, one word softly spoken

Are you listening

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.

Poetry Today

You are worthy of joy…..

Come to me

Unredeemed

Broken

Lost

In a world of pain

Where darkness knows

Your name

Come to me

Heart of stone

Wash your lips

Clean, cleanse your soul

From regret and

Remorse

There’s joy here

In this moment

Lift up your eyes

You are worthy of

Joy©
