She let her memories escape, yesterday’s dreams

Broken pieces of her life, scattered, tattered

Pressed between the pages, sheltered only

By the pale ivory lace, of a faded parasol

This, her only regret, leaving this treasure

Far behind, knowing, it was the last connection

To a life, she no longer cherished, wilted petals

Pressed between pages, the broken pieces of her life

Chime – #poetry #RDP

I hear the chimes, of the church bells, ring

God’s message, resonates, to all around

Our guardian, through life’s unpleasant things

Each tone, from the other, more profound.

He who questions fate

Must find courage from within

When seeking answers

A Day of Denial – #NovemberWriting #poetry

Tags

, , , , , , , , ,


I’ve never denied the power of my darkness
Tis a place I find myself lost in, quite often
This place where evil thoughts permeate air
Unsettling, the words of love, do not soften

I’ve never denied the power of my darkness
The depths in which I throw about these fits
There is no caution to the wind, no stop sign
I just continue to lash out, as my time permits

I’ve never denied the power of my darkness
Though at times, I wish to only see the light
That weaves its way through the gaping holes
Left here, in this place, for me, by the night

Memories, I keep close to my heart

Though, you’re with me every day

A beacon, guiding me through the storm

Allowing my fears to fall fast away

 

In loving memory of my father-in-law, Don
12/23/32 – 11/4/88
