My world is a crisis
Every hour, every day
But with you by my side
We can make it together
We can make it all the way
Tag poetry
Elusive
Joy slips through my fingers
Like an elusive stranger
Like water in the palm
Of my hand
Like air in
A bubble
Bursting.
I hope
Still.
A Short While
For a short while
We have breath
Our hearts beat
We feel
We love
We hurt
We cry
For one short while only
Before our breath
Stops.
Sanctuary
In a world of strangers
A precious sanctuary created for me
Amongst those that say they care, but don’t
A place of love and light and safety
A refuge to which I can flee
Wherever my wandering thoughts may roam
I hear a still small voice, quietly
Whispering “My Heart is Your Home”
Ticking Clock
Every second
Every heartbeat
Every ticking of the clock
Counts down each hour
Until I stand upon
Eternity’s shore
Captured
I have been captured
And I wonder if
I will ever be
Free again?
Winter’s Joy
From depths of winter
Delicate petals flower
Spreading joy and warmth
First Kiss
So dreamy
So special
So romantic
So passionate
So breath-taking
So love
Slowly
Beauty from youth
Eaten slowly away
Time leaves nothing
Living untouched or
Unfaded, devours all in
Its sight until all that
Remains are memories
Of what once was-
Littering life’s pathway
With faded scents of
A discarded rose
Finding Peace
I will not obsess
Will not wait for you to say yes
Will live my life
Without a care
Knowing what will be will be
Finding the peace inside of me
