Beautiful stars
Twinkle at night
Dance in the shadows
Of the moonlight
Tag poetry
Ocean Floor
I can’t think straight
But for the darkness creeping in my mind
Waiting for the waves to crash over
And drag me to the bottom
Of the ocean floor
Lurking
Anxiety lurks
In shadows waiting to pounce –
Unsuspecting prey
Shiver
I shiver
When you say my name
I tremble
When I hear your voice
I tingle
When I feel your kiss
I desire you
So much
Fiercely
I guarded my feelings
Fiercely against my chest
For I knew intuitively
That it was not my place to share
Not now, not yet
Instinctively I knew
When the time had come
To allow him into my life
And at that moment
We were both ready
To open our hearts
And share our lives
Scents of Spring
Scents of jasmine fill
The air as we bid winter
Farewell, welcome spring
Shining Spirit
I’ve made mistakes
Perhaps a few
I hold regrets
My thoughts subdued
But when I look at you
I marvel at
Your strength of spirit
Shining through
Another Day
One more day
To witness blue skies
Shining from heaven above
I close my eyes
Giving thanks for those
Who fill my life with love
Light Shines
Darkness
On my shoulders
Darkness
Consuming
Darkness
Controlling
Darkness
Dictating
The heaviness
Weighs down
I kneel and
Through my prayer
Light shines
Learning
Learning
Yearning
Striving
Thriving
Living
Being
With each word, I
Become
