Changing the World

Vonita Leave a comment

I believe in you and all you can achieve

In your vision and power to change the world

I believe in you – your strength and quiet grace

I believe in you – grow strong and fill your place.

Grow strong and with every step you take

You will prove your will and rise above the crowd

A beating storm will wash away the moody clouds –

Breathe fresh air, intoxicate your lungs, believe.

Oh steely resolve, that stamina I lack but need

Will come to me, in time it will appear

I will believe just as you have taught me so

To change the world, I will love and learn and grow.

Sweep Me Up

Vonita Leave a comment

I love you my darling

I love you my sweet

I need you to hold me

I need you to sweep –

To sweep me forever

In your hidden charms

To hold me my darling

In your loving arms

I know it’s not easy

I push those away

That dare to tread closely

Or otherwise stray

Away from my touch

Away from my words

But love me my darling

Forever I’m yours

Satellites

Vonita Leave a comment

Against a naked sky

Satellites

Cut across the void

Oh! – my empty heart

If only truth be told

My love and depth of need –

Unending

Pain and endless tears

I cling to you as best I can

While looking to the stars

So anchored firm and sure

For all those

Times and ages past

Now nothing is the same

Lights and satellites –

Expose the hidden cast

Cracked

Vonita Leave a comment

It’s just a thin line that appears

So delicate and fine that you wonder if it’s even there

But as you shake your head and clear your eyes

A deeper longer darker crack begins to form

You cannot ignore it anymore

It cannot be wished away

It will not disappear

It’s broken.

Sometimes –

Beyond repair.

Break My Fall

Vonita Leave a comment

Massage my heart

I plead of thee!

Iron out those pleats 

Of pain.

In all my desperation, Lord 

I look above and

Search for thee.

I look towards blue skies above 

And learn again of thy true love.

Though I may fail and stumble, crawl –

An outstretched hand will 

Break my fall.

Nostalgia

Vonita 14 Comments

Whifts of a long lost scent 

Aroused my senses.

We were there, you and I –

In an all too brief

Moment.

I breathed you in without 

Thinking and only feeling.

With nostalgia and an

Inexplicable longing

I breathe you out.

Counting Down

Vonita 7 Comments

I remember

Being so young of age I could count

My years on one of my hands

My teacher was gone for the day

So we joined our classmates next door

My teacher was gone

My safety net for a day

I counted the minutes tick by

I ran out of fingers

And then

I ran

Out of hands.

Butterflies

Vonita Leave a comment

I’m trying my best

I’m shutting my mind 

I’m reading a book

I’m eating sweet cake.

Anything to qualm

These pesky annoying sweet 

Butterflies 

Flying

Flapping

Flickering

Inside of me.

Silent Stranger

Vonita Leave a comment

An uninvited

Stranger

Stealthily tiptoed

Across my 

Unsuspecting 

Vision.

I’m tormented.

Ripped Apart

Vonita Leave a comment

And so the pain I suffered lifetimes ago

Buried far beneath ten layers of snow

Simmered and stewed and viciously grew 

An explosion came as it threatened to do

The band was ripped and all laid bare 

My pain is raw, love was never fair
