Circles Friday comes once more The end of another week And my serenity returns To its hiding place All that is special Will disappear When I see your face Your return will Take the oxygen From the air And cloud my sky You will scratch my skin With your hands Always rough and dry YourContinue reading “Circles”

Out of the Blue
Out of the Blue Sitting on the porch My mood is blue Staring at the moon wondering what to do You took umbrage at what was said now I’m alone and full of dread Sentences interrupted Before I am finished As you cut me off My worth diminished Your dialogue of liquid adjectives drenching meContinue reading “Out of the Blue”
Betrayal
Betrayal You suck the sun from the sky and empty the clouds Draining life’s energy from the core Shaking death from its shrouds As each hour and day passes Your mood gains momentum This has only just begun Once you cross the Rubicon there’s no going back Influencing the outcome As you set the toneContinue reading “Betrayal”
Shedding Skin
Shedding Skin Once upon my being I wished my life be freeing From the ties that bind Happiness held in escrow Lost in someone’s shadow Living a life so unkind On the outside looking in All you see is a shiny ring Promises eventually shattered Emotions begin ricocheting and tempers escalating A marriage becomes tatteredContinue reading “Shedding Skin”
Pressure

Dragon
The monster reared his head once more His flaming mouth scorching my words before they became sound I lay singed and tortured while he continued with his flaring assault Blinding anger has taken over his body I am melting on the ground Silenced by his cruelty helpless and unable to stand up to him IContinue reading “Dragon”
Verge
You are balancing On the edge once more Teetering on the brink Where will it take you this time I wonder as my heart again Drops to the floor On the verge of explosion Paralyzed with fear Will I pull you back Or let you go Even if to my detriment Or do I braveContinue reading “Verge”
Debilitating
The morning light was squinting Through the bedroom shades Few clouds in a sunny sky The birds singing their serenades Earl Grey in the teapot A light breakfast prepared Saying hello to the day I thought I was prepared It happened again Without any warning The monster reared its head Leaving me in mourning AContinue reading “Debilitating”
