Today I felt pain
A trigger of hurt
Cutting through my heart
My eyes welled up
The tears began to form
So I closed my eyes
And encouraged myself –
I am alive and
So I feel.
Good, sad, happy, bad.
And I am loved.
Tag poetry
Overflowing
I had a need
An aching pain
To feel a love
Through sun and rain.
My cup’s o’erflowing
My need is filled
And now I dream
Of peace and still.
Famous Last Words
Not me
Not now
Not ever
Two Parts
Glitter and gowns
Petals and stem
Diamond and rings
Lovers and hearts
The setting and stone
Silence
I wait alone
I wait for you
Surrounded by silence
And thoughts so blue
Where are you
Where could you be?
Do you know I’m here
Do you think of me?
Broken
Broken hearts and
Broken lives.
Falling tears,
Falling apart.
Misunderstandings
And confusion.
It’s a broken
Hurting world.
Cruel Words
Cruel words hurt and plunder
Cruel words are slicing knives
Cruel words break my heart and
Cruel words make me cry
Cruel words are honest and
Sometimes I would rather
Cruel words be damned and
Rather hear a lie
Loving Myself
When all is said and done
After your love has come and gone
When sadness enters uninvited
And I am feeling low
I will look inside me,
Be still and know
I am me, and I am
Okay.
Friendship
The black and white
Of long routine days
The stress and tearful strife
Of endless night
Spark into dazzling
Colors so bright
Friendship was set
Unencumbered by time
That sweet moment we met
So precious a friend
True and rare
Until our journey’s end
Physical Pleasure
Physical pleasure
Is a passing phase.
The lure of the seek,
Thrill and the chase
Races the heart
And reddens the cheek.
But once the moment
Has peaked and subsided
The passion so strong
Becomes very weak.
I wanted you near,
I had you within
And now my desire
Has grown very thin.
I have nothing to say
And neither do you
We smile at each other
And then turn away.
