PoeticThursdays: I wonder

With my head held high; eyes in the sky, I gaze at the light of day, shining so bright. Then, I wonder; I truly wonder. Why can't I have that picture in my heart? The sky is so blue, I stare with eyes so luscious as the birds fly and tease. I wish I had …

PoeticThursdays: Prisoner Of Thoughts.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, can you see my flaws? They weigh me down and stunt my efforts to move on. Can you see the scars caused by pain and brokenness on my face and my body? I seek to hide them yet the world can see through me. Can you not see how I …

Mirror, mirror me!Meet me by the meadow near the blue sea. Hold out your hand for I wish to see; the sign that you and I are meant to be. Love, my beloved I saw in your eyes and believed; It is the fiery insignia of a bounty seed; planted in my heart to grow …

PoeticThursdays: What is the cost of silence?

Keeping quiet, when the heart is full. You want to speak out; Yet, the right words find you not. Brace yourself for the pain of grudges, poison to the soul. Keeper of secrets, will you wait till the mind is soiled.  What hurts us is beyond, what binds me and you is absurd, our humanity …
