Nightfall
Fog settles in
Hides the land
Shrouding all
With its veil
Eeriness
In the distance
Lights
Through the dark
Each dimmer than
The one before
Shine
Shadows
Take control
Hovering
Ever so slightly
Spirits
Searching
Seeking
A new host
As I stand
Waiting
In the night

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.

Wasted
The hours in a day
Doing nothing
Wallowing
In empty air
And blank spaces
The mind
Reeling
In no specific direction
Slamming
Into a brick wall
But no damage
Except to the soul
Damaged
Torn apart
Ripped
From its very essence
Mangled, as if
It had been ravaged
By a predator
But that predator
Only lives within me
The walls
I have built myself
Keep me
Safely guarded, away
From the vicious
And yet
I want to explode
To let it out
Still
No one will hear
No one will care
No one
Even notices
How lost
Inside myself
I am
No one
