I am a Rock This small round stone Has warmed in my hand It is smooth and colorful From where did it come? Perhaps the hinterland How did it get here? Who has held too? Was it part of something much bigger Or just a rock in the fescue? Energy from the pebble Is soothingContinue reading “I am a Rock”

Freedom
Freedom did not come easy She fought hard for what was truly hers Stolen from her with his lying words feeding her ego Promising a fantasy She could not recall When it happened One day he had control and he ruled her world Her voice stolen and thoughts buried deep unable to share This the beginningContinue reading “Freedom”
Flower and Flour
Flower and Flour Flowers in the rain showers Drinking their wine Soaking in the goodness Drenching the vine Flowers for senses Pleasing the eyes and nose Calla Lilies, Freesias And the red, red, rose Flowers for healing Lavender and Eucalyptus Remedies for ailments From fruits of the citrus Flour from corn and wheat Rye andContinue reading “Flower and Flour”
Driven
Driven The street her catwalk The clothes her haute couture Head held high She strutted her stuff At sixteen she was quite mature Wrong side of the tracks Not a good start to life Being posh elevated her confidence Avoiding the strife Able to work this To get what she needed Knowing herself Trusting herselfContinue reading “Driven”
Therapy

A hot tin roof is where you’ve been Time to come down and settle the score Harmony is what we need in our relationship Like it wasContinue reading “Hellcat”
Heart
If the heart is a muscle How can it break? In a thousand pieces A constant ache Shattered like glass Trodden into the ground Slashing life’s tires Irreparable and profound Ripped apart over and again Miraculously repairing Growing larger than before Open to more exploring Never forever broken A heart always repairs Life’s great mysteryContinue reading “Heart”
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”
Oblivion
Wishing to feel numb As an object floating down a river No thoughts in my head Luxurious indifference Ignoring what must be considered Until I pull the last thread Not wanting to feel anymore Bone and muscle crushing pain Body aching from the anguish Mind full of blackness Dark thoughts of anger Unable to vanquishContinue reading “Oblivion”
