The threads of my heart
Have all come loose
As one by one
They slowly
Unravel
Category daily prompt
Blindly
Blindly
I fumbled in the dark
Groping for keys
To open the door
I stumbled
As the keys fell out my grasp
Lost forever, the door remained locked
While I knelt in despair –
In utter hopelessness
I wept
Empty Love
I will try
Try and forget
All the words
Said to hurt
Said to pain
Said to scar
I will try
Try and forget
Your eyes
Your arms
Your kiss
I will try
Try and forget
Times we shared
Times we spoke
Times together
When all it was
Was an emptiness
A meaningless –
An empty love
Last Song
And when our lives come to an end
What will our thoughts be then?
What will we think, what will we feel
Would we want our lives again?
Will we be at peace, or be at rest?
Or never want to go
To say goodbye to earthly life
And all that we do know
Tremble
I used to tremble whenever he kissed me
But now he’s disappeared
And I really miss him –
Haven’t done much
Trembling of late
Iced Tentacles
Fingers of ice
Extend from the frozen landscape of my life
Wrapping their tentacles around the warm blood of my heart
As they tighten and constrict, threatening to freeze all that they
Would wrap around – like a Boa wraps around its prey –
The life force breathed into me offers a resistance
So strong, that any ice would be unfrozen before destruction
Could occur, and at the end, the warmth of my soul powers
The melting of iced tentacles, so that life and hope and joy
Emerge forth as the victors of this battle that is fought with
Every beating of my heart

Color My Dreams
Gone are the days
When my babies cried
Gone are the nights
When we lay side by side
Gone is the laughter
The joys and tears
Replaced with silence
And screaming fears
Our cherished life
Apart at the seams
Once filling our hearts
Now colors my dreams
Another Year
Youthful energy
Has given way to middle-
Aged lethargy
Happy New Year!
We’ve just welcomed 2017, and I am hopeful for the grace of God.
More love for thee, more love.
Happy New Year to you and yours.
Wishing you health, wealth and happiness xo
Torment
Racing
Racing
Racing
I cannot keep up
With the thoughts
Inside my head
I run for cover
I hide away
I turn my face
I search for calm
But still
Those thoughts
Race behind me
Never leave me
Never stray
