Walls Closing

I feel the walls closing in around the soft places of my heart Unwittingly, without permission, as if by unconscious command Whether to protect or to derail, I know not, dear soul, Only that the corners of my mind still connected to hope are fading And I am powerless to this unwanted fate. Maybe itContinue reading “Walls Closing”

Oblivion

In your eyes there is a glimmer of sadness And I will not pry, dear soul, I will not dig, Knowing, as you know, that we must keep hidden The desolate melodies of our human experience When younger hearts depend upon our strength. When the last lamps have faded into dark, When silence swallows upContinue reading “Oblivion”

Winter

The world outside is covered in a landscape of snow Hauntingly beautiful, callously cold, As if following the trajectory of my old, listless soul Winter winds whispering songs that only I know. There is melancholy in this season of frost Where we wander through the bitterness, aimlessly lost Like travelers seeking bridges we have alreadyContinue reading “Winter”

Last Poem (For a Time)

Looking back, I do not know how I kept breathing But from the grace of kind hands that held me up I had lost all reasons to invest in believing Except for the faith of those who saw what I could not see. Dear soul, this is the full circle, my moment of gratitude WhenContinue reading “Last Poem (For a Time)”

Numb

Numb senses nothing and everything at once An acknowledgement of emotional flooding When the brain unconsciously shuts down To help us survive through the unbearable. In our emptiness, we make room for illumination Tending to our wounds before the truth sets in Yearning for the ability to feel the missing pieces While accepting the reliefContinue reading “Numb”

The Source that Knows

When the world is cold and gray When my lens is cloudy from the heaviness of rain When it feels as if I am floating and not living at all I find myself pausing in the mindless flow To reconnect with what I innately feel To tap into that trustworthy source that knows To rememberContinue reading “The Source that Knows”

Symphony Falling

The sky is falling like a symphony I can whisper my words into the rain– The ones I have told no one Tumbling out like a soft lament, Grieving the things I could never say Feelings so close but never quite conveyed For fear of losing, for fear of receiving, Held back only by myContinue reading “Symphony Falling”

Acceptance

Unraveled but still standing, Off-kilter but determined, We pull ourselves from the depths Like warriors with one last breath, Truth illuminating our shadowed minds With both the sting and the promise of one more day. We can no longer remain stagnant Now that we see, now that we know No avoiding realities in broad daylightContinue reading “Acceptance”

Do Not Spare My Naive Heart

Do not spare my naive heart from being crushed By the harsher realities of what is and what will be, I have lived long enough in oblivious innocence I have worn the lenses of idealism when I should have seen The truth in all of its abrasive, gritted glory I have closed my ears toContinue reading “Do Not Spare My Naive Heart”
