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

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
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.”
Desert
My life is a desert
No water to be found
My well has run dry –
Fading hope has died.
I kneel before thee
My Savior and King
Plead for living waters –
To quench my soul’s deep
Need.
Through Glass
Darkness Descending
A shadow without light
Would ne’er a shadow be named
But rather darkness descending
On never ending night
Like moonlight shadows
And shadows with light
A soul’s sore pain echoes
Sweet victory’s delight
One side of a coin
Is one half of a whole
The yin and the yang –
Whole is more than its parts
Forbidden
My love
Your love
Our love
Forbidden behind
A secret lock and
Key
For now
And always forever
Aching to be
Unchained
Unlocked
Unhidden
Free
Layers
Layers upon layer
Fell to the floor
Revealing flesh
Behind closed door
The music played
Drowning our cries
The passion between us
Never disguised
