Porcelain Lips

With painted lips

I taste your being

With delicate hands

I feel you grow

With open eyes

I admire your desire

Hold me

Love me

Never let me go

For my heart is but

Porcelain

In your hold

Two Worlds

water

Surfing the space
Between dreams
And reality
Surfacing from night
As morning dew appears
Two worlds connect –
Free spirit and
Earthly mind

A Net of Words

image.jpeg

Look!

I’ve caught a poem –
Crept up on it quietly
And caught it in a net of words.

Open the lines gently and set it free,
That it may fly
Into the minds
Of those who pass,
So they may say,
Of something that makes them stop
To look and wonder,
Or to laugh or cry,
“I read a poem about this once-
Someone else has felt like me.”

Poem by Anne Bell

Lass

You called me lass
So many times
Terms of endearment
Or so you thought
But not once
Did you ever
Whisper
Even softly
My name

Change

Somewhere along the way

I changed from a young child

Into a woman

And observe with melancholy

Love and sadness

As the fruits of my womb

Do the same

Floating Away

Dreams and wishes
Filled my world
My hopes
My mind
Until they faded
Like balloons floating
High into the sky
Out of vision
Out of sight

Song of Hope

My heart sings
Of hope for tomorrow,
Life lived today, and
Gratitude for
Yesterday’s
Beating
Heart.

Letting Go

Surrounded by
Winds of change
I know that soon
My time will come
I cannot remain
Where I am
My world
Will change
And I will
Never be
The same
Again
