I will lie here, in this moment

Thinking only of you, your touch,

The subtle air surrounding you

Indeed, spend these lingering hours,

Basking in the glow, the splendor

Of a fire, burning, unbridled passion

Yes, I choose to stay here, enrapt,

Inhaling your scent, with the flowers

Of perfect love, tulips, by my side

You are a fragrance, I’ll not soon forget

In Search of Humanity ~ #NaPoWriMo #poetry

Strands of hair, that cloak her face

Hide her shame, and life’s disgrace

A woman lost, too many others

All they do, is hold and smother

Her heart, into pieces, now shattered

Thrown away, broken, battered

Left to find, a place to survive

Somewhere, she can stay alive

Away from the streets, and johns who claw

She cannot take this, anymore

Tossed aside, like a bag of trash

Favors returned, for want of cash

They do not care, for what she’d be

This woman, in search, of humanity

the mountain cries,

tears of tomorrow

filling the emptiness

with briny waters

sating a thirsty Earth

where man dare only look

upon her sacred ground

unwelcome in her paradise

She is the Mother Earth ~ #NaPoWriMo #EarthDay2017 #poetry

She awakens with the breath of morning

Droplets on her face, nourishment from above

Resting peacefully, in a scented bed, a sachet

Of lasting fragrance, a multitude of floral bliss

Reproducing, she tends her flock, makes way

For those still waiting to blossom, and she smiles

Contented, as she lays her head down to rest

Knowing, that evermore, she is the Mother Earth

No End in Sight ~ #NaPoWriMo #poetry

I know not where it is, I should turn

As thoughts inside, begin to churn

An acid, meant to truly burn

A helpless moment, of which I yearn

*

To cast away, the thoughtless words

From a hateful voice, it’s so absurd

To know that I’m not really heard

My patience, buried, now interred

*

Into hopelessness, I need to fight

To end this horrid, dreadful plight

That I endure, both day and night

For where there seems, no end in sight
