Walking down the narrow lanes
I try and find my way
The streets are bare
Nowhere’s here
I’m lost and gone astray
Just as I take a lowly step
I lose myself and trip
Bodies left right where they fell
The Virus won the day.
Tag poetry
You
I wish I had the power
To be at peace today
I wish I’d never ever
Invited you to stay
I wish I’d never opened the
Door into my heart
For now my pain has surfaced –
It’s contents on display
Oh how I wish for love
A love so deep and true
Oh how I wish for love
How I wish for
You.
Emptiness
My emptiness is a step in space
I’m floating without anchor
Into the darkness of the void
I wish for you my love
Thar you may grab my hand
Yanking me back onto
You.
Alone, as I am, my heart sinks
Mother, I’m Waiting
My mother visited my dream last night
My child where have you been, she cried
“It was not me that went away,
I’m always waiting” – my soft reply.
My mother left, she flew from me
In the dark of night
Through a starry sky
Days have passed, years have too
I’ve waited waited waited
I’m waiting still
I’m waiting for my mother’s
Sweet return.
Victory
Tell me no
I will be inspired
Shut the door
I will find a way
Close the blinds
I will see the light
For every failure I endure
For every fall that knocks me down
Will fuel the fire of my passion
Power of the
Victory
Ice
It was too much I could not ask
Of more than you I had
You were so warm for one short hour
Now all the warmth is gone
Snow is cold my lips are blue
Yet still my heart cries out –
Still I know the you I crave
Is frozen into
Ice
Warm Hands
Tender hands so warm
Placed upon my hungry skin
Yours are all I need
Jealousy
silent predator
slithering into my heart
eating me alive
So Many Days
So many days I willed a call
A knock on my soft unbroken willing heart
That touch, that look I so desired
Never arrived –
It never was.
Trapped
I’m feeling unsettled
Insecure it may seem
Past trauma has surfaced
A very bad dream.
Stuck in a limbo
No way through or out
If no escape I can find
I will scream, yell and shout!!
Don’t leave me please don’t leave me I pray
Your silence tortures me
I beg you to stay!
Oh please please please love me and this is my pain
Right here this child inside neglected, ignored
I was not good enough, not worth enough
I was never the one
I feel it now the rejection runs strong
It’s trapped inside it’s trapped within
Lodged under my skin.
