Circus
Circus What was once wondrous and filled me with joy I now hold in disdain Pretty white horses Elephants and lions I did not know their pain As a child I was excited by the music and fanfare Such exotica to see Now I am sickened and sad at the treatment they suffered for meContinue reading “Circus”
Therapy
Therapy Drawing her strength being in the elements Her mentor had become nature Walking at the golden crepuscule when the sun disappeared was her portraiture Beauty surrounding her her mind felt cleansed The coolness of the evening calming the activity of the day Having ample space to breathe the experience healing With clarity of mindContinue reading “Therapy”
Impasse
Impasse The fragility of the moment causes me to stop where I am Another word, another step could break the dam We glossed over the issues Copious amounts of energy devoted to the cause Nothing was resolved I break for a pause No palette for your indignation I ignored the caustic remarks The recurring themeContinue reading “Impasse”
Maelstrom
Maelstrom Each day I wake not knowing what to expect Will today be comforting or suffocating There is no way to detect I can sail smooth seas of love and tranquility Be a recipient of your devoted attention and surprised by your spontaneity Or do we navigate a maelstrom on this imperious voyage to destructionContinue reading “Maelstrom”

Lagging
Lagging Tiredness came swiftly Smothering Laying heavy on my eyes and limbs Suppressing efforts of revival A deep state Encompassing Feeling grubby and unclean Exhausting Succumbing to sleep Dramatic and deep Eccentric Dreams Teasing Body failing to adjust Confusing Brightness of mind Wins over darkness of night Fully awake Rejuvenating Mind now alert Conflicting EnergyContinue reading “Lagging”
