Cliffs The sea was kissed by the morning mist Darkness tarried as the sun struggled to be set free Standing atop the cliffs a wild picture of windblown red hair likened to the Flame tree Cloak lifted by the wind she scanned the horizon searching for a sign Praying he comes today as was hisContinue reading “Cliffs”

Respect – An Acrostic Poem
Resembling someone I no longer know Empty, devoid of emotion, almost inhumane Seeing you, grudgingly, in your moment of glory Pumped victoriously with ego Endorphins swimming with energy Circling the waters like a shark Targeting your catch of the day Christine Bolton – Poetry for Healing © Photo by Artur Nasyrov on Unsplash Word Prompts:Continue reading “Respect – An Acrostic Poem”
Fall from Grace
The sound of your voice Lingers in my head Your words carved in stone Like a gravestone for the dead Breath caught between My lungs and throat Leaving me speechless With no sound to emote Encircling me as you fire your ammunition Not yet triumphant Until my dissolution Vex until prey exhausted Seeing the fearContinue reading “Fall from Grace”
Smoke
He slowly rowed the small boat to the middle of the lake never saying where he was going Just knowing what to take Peace and solitude It was a favorite way to escape He went quietly without a sound his plan taking shape No one around to question his actions No fear of his daughterContinue reading “Smoke”
Innocent
Her perfume redolent in the night air as she walked to the water alone with ne’er a care What was blue had become black with no warning In a heartbeat she had been knocked on her back Without substance an accusation held Lies spread in wildfire her dignity at risk she was compelled His rebukeContinue reading “Innocent”
Don’t Box Me In
In response to d’verse poets Quadrille #62 – BOX Don’t think outside the box or even when you’re in it Throw the box away Containing nonsense you never look at Hoarding is a disease You don’t need it anyway Don’t get boxed in like Jack did He had to jump Remember Boxing Day? Christine Bolton – PoetryContinue reading “Don’t Box Me In”
Blind Faith
Giving potency to the dormant a zest for life and a desire to move forward The course will be drawn Be confident in your quest Eyes straight ahead you’re never alone Challenges met Another day’s dawn Abiding love will not fade or wane Invisible to the eye it will stay strong a crutch to leanContinue reading “Blind Faith”
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”
Hellcat
Our communication is lacking, it’s almost nonexistent Your attitude is that of a scalded cat When can we have a conversation? Surely we can do better than that? 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”
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”
