Goodbye 2020. I wish I could say it’s been grand but honestly, you sucked.
My wish for all of you, my friends, is a year filled with happiness, love and dreams coming true, that you never, again, have to know sadness and loss. May 2021 be the year we all join together in peace. Have a blessed New Year!!
Much Love, Dorinda

Conversation lags
As tension fills the air
Words I wish to say aloud,
But never will I dare.
Turn the wrath of devil’s breath,
Into a burning pyre
Anger lashes back at me,
And I begin to tire.
Wonder what it is I seek,
Outside my bolted door
Is there life beyond the pale?
Or is it nothing more
Than washed out wishes
And fallen dreams
A silence filled
With curdling screams?
Try again, to fight the pain,
Encumbering at best
A plight I’d never give myself
Is given at my behest.
Strange that I would choose this path,
Heavy thorns do block my way
What happened in the aftermath?
Was it something I did say?

Once bright, turns to gray
Sun diminishes, fades away
Although I beg, it doesn’t stay
No desire, to keep me warm
Clouds scurry, across the sky
I watch them, as they race by
Darkness falls, tis then I cry
While shadows take their form
Hidden deep, but I can see
The anguish pent, inside of me
I let go, release, alas, misery
Knows nothing of the norm
Though try I might, I find no hope
Why is it that I cannot cope?
I’m holding on, yet, lose my rope
There is no calm before my storm

She bends like a reed, in a summer breeze
Caught in the balance, arms stretched, with ease
Hair flowing gently, as her head tilts awry
The look on her face, says she set her sights high
She is able to move, with such elegant grace
While the look in his eyes, is the only trace
Of a love, so possessive, he wants her, his own
Yet, she wants no part, so he leaves, quite alone
For he knows it’s not him, and it will never be
She is tied to no man, the dance sets her free.

A
Crystal
Flurries down
Rushing to meet
A man made of white.
Top hat upon his head
Eyes of coal, a carrot nose,
Mittened hands, endless snowball fights
Days of youth, returning within us.
The bustle of the holiday season.
The coming together of family,
Dearest to our hearts, celebrating
A thankfulness, many blessings
Each one, a mere fragment, of
Years gone by, call to mind
All who have gathered
Bringing with them
Tidings of
Great joy,
Love
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!! I am truly blessed to know all of you! ❤
