It’s late
Rain splashes
Against the pane
A haunting sound
In this darkened night
The wind, nonexistent
Yet it rattles the glass
Upon which I rest my face
Cold seeps in, relentless
To my already aching bones
The fire, crackling,
Hissing, next to me
Offers no warmth
Reluctant to move
From the window
I sit, shivering
And watch
As my tears
Roll by

Body ravaged by an unknown being
Time escapes, an unsettled fleeing

Torn and tattered in bits and pieces
No longer feeling simple releases

Fighting the fury kept deep inside
Seeking the comfort that’s long been denied

Hidden apart from an every day dream
Visions aren’t always what they seem

Clustered around with anger and strife
Wondering why this has taken my life

So many dreams have been swept away
Agony brings yet another day

Of fighting a battle with ghosts deep inside
Seeking the comfort that’s long been denied

I stare out the window, into

a blank space, echoes of an

empty mind, no comfort

comes of it, nothing but

a longing, for something

For someone, to comfort

me, hold me, and remind me

everything will be okay, four

simple words, for me, a

complex piece, in which

the puzzle, missing a corner

Can never be

Completed, or

Whole

Overwhelmed ~ #poetry of #life

The days grow short, nights are shorter

I’m a wife, a mother, and a daughter

Pulled in all directions, until I’m numb

It’s no wonder why, I’m feeling glum

I need some space, to call my own

A quiet spot, where I’m unknown

No one to call my name, out loud

Far away, from the roaring crowd

Yet, I do not know, of such a place

To live my life, at my own pace

One day I hope to find that peace

When overwhelming moments cease

Winter, how your colors fade

Oh, how I long, for leaves of jade

To take the gray, away from me

And paint the colors, splendid, free

Which quietly wait, a resurrection

Blending, a palette of perfection

With beauty rising, innocent of

The gloominess that you so love

Let me close my eyes, and see

How beautiful all things can be

Alas, you do not hear my cry

As I gaze into your barren sky
