You flow through me
Like an inferno, raging on
My heart burns for you
Longing for the touch
Of the flame you ignite
I melt, in your hands
As you invade my soul
With desirous thoughts
Answered, exhausted
We burn, in passion’s heat
Setting the world on fire

I wrote this in 2014 and have shared it the past couple of years. It has now become my traditional Mother’s Day Poem. For all the beautiful women who bring joy and love to child’s heart, have a blessed and beautiful day!! ❤
A mother’s love is true
For it beautifully blossoms
Like a rose, softly unfolding,
Enveloping,
Opening the heart,
Nurturing the soul

I am okay
But you didn’t ask
You were too into
Yourself
To even notice…
I wasn’t
But that’s alright
Really, it is
Because I shy away
From false emotions
What you think
I want to hear
I don’t
My self-esteem
Has been through
Enough
I have made
Peace
With myself
And my God
And that is
Why I am
Okay
Really.

It’s one AM and I should be sleeping
But of course, dear Auntie Insomnia
Has come to visit, and this time, stays
Far too long as far as I’m concerned
She needs to find a place of her own
One that isn’t in near proximity of me
I can feel my eyelids getting heavy
And the physical being of my body
Collapses, but the mind, oh that mind
Refuses to obey a command for rest
Melatonin escapes through pores
Oozing and weeping, until it is free
And I am left wide awake, exhausted
Hours tick by, the click of the clock
Hanging on my office wall, annoys
A reminder it doesn’t sleep either
Rather, it rallies me to do something
Maybe I’ll play a computer game
Yes, of course, more stimulation
In an overstimulated brain, smart
Real smart solution to this problem
I have long awaited the sandman
But even he has moved onto simple
Tasks he need not hover over
Ones who know the secret, kept
Like good little minions, far away
From the likes of me, the other one
Who simply cannot figure out why
She remains wide awake, exhausted…

Night falls
I am weary
Heavy lids close
Still the light
Shimmers through
The darkness
Imaginary figures
Move, sway
Shadows weave
An endless tale
Within corners
Of the room
Sheets rustle
Lashes flutter
Semi-closed
A glimpse
Into the
Void
Dreams
Take over
Nightmares
Consume
Still the light
Shimmers through
The darkness
