Slipstream – A Quadrille
Slipstream Traveling together World explorers of ancient cities and natural habitats Experiencing life and seeing mankind in his habitat Wandering like clouds Touching earth every so often Hungry for more Then came the day when you became self-absorbed and I was lost in your slipstream Copyright © 2021 Christine Bolton – Poetry for Healing AllContinue reading “Slipstream – A Quadrille”
Weary
Weary Weary of this game called love Exhausted by rules always broken to serve the other’s purpose Watching you justify your own unacceptable behavior as I become a target for calumny You have so few redeeming qualities that there is little left to respect Let alone love Where is the man once so principled? SoContinue reading “Weary”
Down But Not Out – Poem of the Month – July 2021
Down But Not Out Demeaned, dismissed, destroyed Yes! These are things that you have done to me I fall down under the pressure of your assault and I feel you stomping on my goodness, my kindness Hurting, bruising, humiliating Yes! I am defeated at these times You kill me with your anger and crush meContinue reading “Down But Not Out – Poem of the Month – July 2021”
Love Lies Bleeding
Love Lies Bleeding The sun bleeds it’s last drop of red into the ocean Bidding farewell to a day filled with raw emotion Words weaponized Driven in like daggers Leaving scathing, open wounds becoming forever scars Tattooed reminders on broken hearts Uneven and crooked Nerves stretched taught like catgut strings on a guitar Where oneContinue reading “Love Lies Bleeding”
The Stranger In My Midst

Wound Up – A Quadrille
Wound Up My nerves were so tightly wound one sound of dissention would make me jump from my shivering skin Your words, as always hateful and cruel were like salt poured in an open wound Stinging and painful Fearing the worst I escape before finally snapping Copyright © 2021 Christine BoltonContinue reading “Wound Up – A Quadrille”
Unheard – Poem of the Month – May 2021
Unheard My words do not reach you anymore They hang heavy in the air, waiting to be heard Full of love, passion, anger, questioning But your ears are closed to them They fall to the ground unanswered As is always the way You, too busy speaking your own truths to care about my thoughtsContinue reading “Unheard – Poem of the Month – May 2021”
Stolen Love – A Puente
Stolen Love Closeness of two bodies Huddled in chilly night air Promises whispered in white smoke breath Impending separation Daunting, destroying ~ Togetherness uncertain ~ Stolen love has a price to pay Lying to one, lying to all Saying what has been said to another is second-hand love Impure and sullied Unhappiness, lonelinessContinue reading “Stolen Love – A Puente”
