A frail, fragile ego
Follows me wherever I go
I long to be free
But I have a shadow
Following me

Drive
When love dies
Hope for tomorrow disappears
When hope dies
The joy you brought evaporates
When joy dies
The drive that spurned me on is gone
Replaced with a knife
Cutting through my heart so cruel
Leaving shards of glass
To splinter, tear and ruin
When love dies
My smile, my hope, my joy dies too

Unpredictability
When I least expected change,
Change turned my life around.
My prayers had ceased, I had
Made peace with fading dreams.
My dreams were dead, my hope
Was lost, my faith was gone.
But with the certainty of
Rising sun and dying night –
The only thing predictable
Is life’s unpredictability.

Decisions of mine
Every choice I have made
Have all led me here
A silent moment
Alone, having company
Contemplating me
There is no escape!
Wondering what could have been
No door can I see
I long for release!
Echoes of a distant me
Dreaming silently
Nightmare
I dreamt that you were drowning
And there was no way to rescue
I wished that I could save you
But I stood on shaky ground
I wanted you to live
I prayed for your sweet breath
And when I woke I discovered
Your beating heart dead still –
Dreams were no longer dreams
And a nightmare was real
Black Umbrella
Tear drops and rain
Run down my face
Leaving me in the
Freezing cold, dark
Umbrella offering
The only shelter
From the storm raging
Outside and within
Berrylicious
Blueberry balloon
Burst of bubble-wrapped goodness
So berrylicious
Journey
Angel of light
Angel so bright
Delicate wings
Whispering dreams
Watch over me
Watch over mine
Keep us safe until
Our journey’s fate
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Journey.”
Teddy Bear
Everywhere I am looking
And I cannot find you anywhere
And when I stop looking
You find me
Guest
The clouds are hanging heavy and low
Like a curtain hiding the guest of the show
The star of the day – our sun and our light
Is held captive, dimming our sight
