Quarry

Deceived by your eloquence I was swept up by your pander Your agenda was not initially known When I realized your plan You did not appreciate my candor Angered by my directness You were no longer comfortable Your swagger became limp Seeing my chance to escape I was no longer vulnerable Escaping from your clutchesContinue reading “Quarry”

Sweet Lullaby

Sweet lullaby I sing to you To scare away the demons Who whisper When no one hears With no rhyme or reason Hush baby Unknown and invisible Those monsters in your head Will never get to you While I am here Fearing where to tread Christine Bolton – Poetry for Healing ©   Lullaby Unknown WhisperContinue reading “Sweet Lullaby”
