Perfect Life
Perfect Life
I pin my hopes and dreams
on a cork-less board
and watch them fall
empty and unfulfilled
to the floor below
Time after time I wonder,
was there a hiccup
in my biological make up
convincing me to believe
things that will never be?
In my mind’s eye is a vista
of a life of perfection
One I am meant to be living
But it never becomes reality
Patience stretched to snapping
Disillusioned but not beaten
I continue to pin hopes and dreams
wherever they might adhere
Because one day, perhaps
something will eventually stick

Hopes and Fears
Hopes and Fears
Lost in the current of my dreams floating in between hopes and fears Drifting towards that haven between anxiety and peace Hoping to decipher confusing messages laid before me Who waves the prickly pear in my face? A punishment for a wrong I unknowingly committed? Who are these adversaries in my sleep? What have I done? Wishing to shake off the hands that claw at me I struggle to wake Copyright © 2021 Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing All Rights Reserved Lillian is hosting Open Link Night at D'Verse Poets tonight

In dreams black lions stare as you gape in wonder Irrational thoughts prevail in your heart But your mind senses a foreboding of what might come It is speaking to you Listen! Bury your head in the sand no longer Step back, step aside Empty the mind of untruths and broken promises collected over time Take off the blinders See the world for what it is Not the one you have chosen to live in Come back from the wilderness “Do or do not, there is no try.” You no longer have to live in a prison of your own making Copyright © 2021 Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing All Rights Reserved Mish is hosting D'Verse Poets tonight and has prompted us with lines from famous movies. From the many she suggested, I chose the following to include in my poem. “Do or do not, there is no try.” – Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, 1980 Image by efes from Pixabay

Awakening
Awakening
Pitch black and blinding Darkness devours Slowly suffocating Suppressing breath Starving lungs Until that prayed-for moment when, gasping for air oxygen finally reaches the brain Shaking the spirit awake to witness day-breaking sun and feel its healing powers Proving that darkest moments are always before the dawn The new day brings hope for change Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing © Image by Pexels from Pixabay
Imagining
Imagining
In dreams you come
and hide in the layers
of my mind
Nestled where
I feel your presence
and draw
from your strength
That I might find hope
with the infusion
of your love
coursing
through my veins
Knowing I am
not always alone
I sleep deep
in your comfort

Floating
Floating
One look, one word
was all it took
to take the breath
from her body
Lifting her upwards
Floating in euphoria
High above
the kingdom
of her love
The clouds
at best trying
to poke her
back to reality
Losing the battle
as she drifted
into her dreams
