Sinking

October 15, 2018Vonita 11 Comments

Give me poetry when I start to drown

Into the abyss of my internal distress

Wrap me in words when rain soaks my

Humor until there is none left

Poetry!

My longing, my heartache, my desire

My loss

Be my water

Cleanse me from head to toe

I need you

Sinking Sand

March 7, 2018Vonita 3 Comments

I’m drowning in a pool of my own despair, the anchor has taken hold of my soul and I cannot breath I see the light above I know there is hope as I give way to a pit of dark sinking sand.

Dark Despair

In deep despair
I hold myself
In blackened day
I cry to you

You do not hear
You do not care
And silently
I bear my pain

I’m drowning

I try and reach for air

I’m sinking

I call but you are nowhere

I’m dying

I pray for you to be there –

There where my prayers

Fly to, and there where

My hope leads me to.

My sinking heart

Leads me to

Despair.
