Every night
When I hear you sleep
I hear
Each breath you take
The beating
Of your resting heart
Keeps you
Alive and here with me
And when
That beating stops
You would
Be taken away from me
So finally

I Stopped Loving
You loved me
And I loved you
You were with me
During the night
Your face so clear
We spoke again
I stopped loving
And you married her
But last night
It was you and me
Again, alone
I stopped loving
But you never did
Sneak Preview!
For those readers who may have been following my blog over the few months since September, you will know that I have been compiling a book that is my heart’s passion. The POD version is still a few weeks away, so as a Sneak Preview to my readers, I am offering the book in PDF format available from Gumroad, and listed under my Bookshelf Page.
Apologies to all our Friendship Tree poets, the editors have removed ALL referenced writing including the Friendship Tree. When I receive the EBook version in the next few days, I will be offering complimentary copies to the Friendship Tree poets and other previously referenced poets.
More about my book, it contains a few of my more popular posts, and a whole heap of exclusive writing, compiled to form a story of inspiration (based loosely on my life experiences). The design has been done by a dear friend of mine, the talented and beautiful Elizabeth Ferraris from Visible Ink design. We will be working on future collaborations together, including my second poetry book which is now underway.
If anyone would like to leave their thoughts on the content – I am welcoming comments on my Bookshelf page which can be found here: https://movingtowardsthelight.com/bookshelf/
Thank you so much!
Vonita.

Oak Tree
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Places.”
I would be
Under a tree
So I can sit in it’s shadow
Listening to the song of the birds
And the wind as it whispers its
Silent secrets softly
To me
Desperation
at what point does one not give up?
at what point does one persevere?
because I am out of ideas
I am out of kind requests
the path is unclear
I do not know
which way I
should
go

Live
It
For
Eternity
Desolation
All is barren
Lost in the wilderness
I try and find my way to the light
But all I find is a stone
True Love
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “I Want to Know What Love Is.”
True love is when you would give your life for someone else
As many parents would do for their offspring
Anything else is merely affection
Fatigue
Tiredness seeps into my every pore
After a life of being lost and
Not knowing where to turn
I lie down and allow
My eyes to close
