This is how
The year has been
Cluttered spaces,
Filled with din

Unconnected,
Lines that fly
Out of my head,
Although I try

To make sense
Of what will be
To understand
This broken me

Who misses you
With every day
It’s been a year ago,
Today

How can that be,
It went so fast
Day after day,
The moments pass

I feel I’m sinking,
In quicksand
And you’re not here
To grab my hand

And pull me up,
Breathe in new life
Instead, I’m only
Filled with strife

Beaten down,
Depression rages
Part of death,
of grief,
in stages…

Rest in Peace, Mommy.  I miss you so very much… 06/10/2020

The Center – #poetry

You are the center of your universe

Making things, so small, much worse

Always with a scornful look or sneer

To even those you once held dear

While time is fleeting, passing you by

All you think of is an eye for an eye

How silly it is to go on living like this

Instead of kindness, you choose to diss

Those who gave their precious time

Who, in your eyes, are quite begrimed

This I offer, though you won’t hear

My words, no matter, are very clear

Seek His peace, and hope, and light

Then learn to love instead of fight…

 

Author’s note: I have been struggling to get through health issues as well as family issues, but I’m over it.  I don’t mean to sound harsh, but for my own healing and well being, I have to move aside.  These words are the final pouring out of a very hard decision that was, unfortunately, inevitable. Thank you for reading…

Karma has a way – #poetry – #AprilWriting

It never happened before, no, not to her

She was always the one, who rejected

Now she sat alone, with life, just a blur

Not even the water, in the pool, reflected

How she was feeling, deep down inside

An emptiness, filled, the whole of her belly

Passing her by, heard remarks, rather snide

Her heart broken in two, legs feeling like jelly

She tried to ignore, but it was so hard to do

All she wanted was a little love, and affection

But karma has a way of turning back on you

Its number one rule, no such thing as perfection

Ethereal tears

Weep softly for the broken

Comfort saddened hearts

Making Amends with Ourselves – #NovemberWriting #poetry

28 Wednesday Nov 2018

What becomes of a broken heart?

When time cannot heal its pain

Shattered, to pieces, broken glass

Fractured, bleeding, still again

We try to make amends with it

Somehow, it’s never the same

So we toss it aside, like the trash

Who saves it, is anybody’s game

It seems to be such an easy task

Never giving it a second thought

Perhaps we need to remember

Our love can never be bought
