The flaming sky at the end of day Brazen colors like molten lava Streaking across the canvas The sun a bursting yellow-pink guava The breeze refreshing the body The heat of the day a lingering memory Twilight closing in, cooling the sand Under bare feet, a feeling sensory Calm sea turning silver grey From theContinue reading “Sky”

Immorality
The politics of yet another day Causing a stir amongst the masses Spirited conversations ignite One voice louder than the next A proverbial battle of the classes A line is drawn in the sand That no one dares to cross You fear for your life Silence might be best Your beliefs your albatross Tantamount toContinue reading “Immorality”
Fire and Water
Fire and water We travel through it by far As much as I douse your flames You continue to spar Paralyzed by your words Cold and cruel, you are an animal Each one a mind blowing zing And you claim to be rational Your criticisms are unfounded They are unkind and heartless Where is yourContinue reading “Fire and Water”
This Time
This time I will not buckle My head is held high I don’t have to listen to Your angry words That cause me to cry This time I will succeed I will stand up to you No more make up This time we break up I cannot see this through This time I will notContinue reading “This Time”
Confusion
There are tears in my throat Drowning my voice Unable to surface It has no other choice I am emotionally catatonic As I walk in a trance Tripping over my own feet Unable to advance I steady myself Before moving any farther Desperately wanting to recall What prompted my departure Taking a giant step backwardsContinue reading “Confusion”

Longing
Longing through her tears She sees the child with no fears A vision in a dress of blue A pretty ribbon in her hair A photo taken with care Capturing the early morning hue Standing by her mother with pride Family dog sitting on the other side She looks lovingly at the image Yearning forContinue reading “Longing”
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”
