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”
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”
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”

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”
Senses of Summer
The scent of gardenias Floating on late afternoon air Sweetly fragrant and tender Nothing can compare Spanish Moss hanging in dreadlocks On the old Rastafarian Oak Summer warmed earth No need for a hooded cloak Monarchs fluttering here and there Squirrels flying from tree to tree Water trickling over rocks Babbling stream to the seaContinue reading “Senses of Summer”
Saddened
My heart is heavy again today It feels like pain will never go away I was doing so well Never hearing the warning bell My world suddenly on its end I look to you but you will not bend Your actions provoke Even when nothing is spoke Goading for a reaction I’m innocent, rejecting theContinue reading “Saddened”
