I’m so grateful for your love
I’m so grateful for your hand
I’m so glad you came along
Just when all my hope had gone
I’m so grateful for our life
And to ever be your wife
Nineteen years we have been blessed
Nineteen years, sweet companionship
Tethered
Covered in dust
I have no say
Muddy anchors weigh me down
As I’m tethered
Tethered
Tightened
To the ground –
A black mood sours my frown
Endings
Things are ending, I can’t explain
Once bright sparks scattered in the dark
Lost the fun and without the feels
This new year is dead to some
One day one step at a time
Voids will fill
They will
Somehow
Crossing Bridges
In response to Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge
Liberty!
Where to from here?
I do not know, I cannot say
Allow the path to open up
Allow each day to make its way
When you arrive, you then will know
When you arrive, there next will be
Another path unknown to go
So take a breath and do not fear
Take a breath for this new year
Take a breath and you will see
Hope for all and liberty!
Yay for 2021
My Poetry
My poetry came back
In time to usher in a new dawn
To calm my nerves, to calm me down
My poetry came back
To caress my hair and stroke my face
And gently lull me down to sleep
My poetry came back
Those words that went astray
Nowhere to be found and none at bay
My poetry came back
For expression, for hope, for comfort
For joy
My poetry came back
It came back
Returned
To me.
Floundering
I need a structure to my day
I need to know the words to say
I need a routine to the hours
I need the letters to write a prose
I need a frame I cannot cope
Without a structure or a rope
Something to hold on tight
Something to see me through the night
My mind is turmoiled I’m at sea
Floundering floundering
Please help me
Scared
I’m so scared
A tiny child curled up in a ball
Fearing the world
What it can do
I’m so scared
I dare not open my eyes
For what I might see
And cannot erase
I’m so scared
For a lost chance
My unknown future
Thrown away by the fickleness of
Wind
Imagine
Imagine throwing my life away
All the chances that came my way
Why do I suffer like I do
Mental anguish, feeling blue
Perfect life, job, lot
Cast aside, a blood-stained spot.
Dove
Could you love me if you tried?
Could you be here by my side
I’ve loved you all through days and years
Loved you through all my falling tears
Oh! To feel the warmth of love
Soft and gentle as a dove
Could you love me if you tried?
Could you love me? Please! I cried.
