Poetry 11

Sit still, wander not.
Don't think. Stay stopped.
Wait awhile. Pause. Breathe.
Take the chance. You can't leave.

Hold her tight, feel the love.
Let her know, she's enough.
Tell her how much you care.
Touch her skin, stroke her hair.

A new life, born today.
Don't take your love away.
She needs you now, not tomorrow.
No more pain, no more sorrow.

She'll teach you well
She knows the score
She wants your love
Nothing more.

Poetry 10

Sit with me and see my soul,
Let the silence move, unroll.
Feel it deep and curl within,
Gently stretch, turn and spin.
Lift its head and look at you,
Past your skin, cutting through.
Hold it tight, in you I trust,
See the light, begin we must.

Poetry 9

Waiting in the dark
Ready to break free
Lying still and silently
Deep inside of me.

Poetry 8

Do you know how to love me
Do you know what that means
You become part of my hopes
Core to my dreams.

We jumped into together
Both feet first
It didn't work out
You came off worst.

We broke into pieces
Disappeared into crumbs
Fumbled away
All fingers and thumbs.

I pulled the plug
It was all I could do
I'd given it everything
If only you knew.

Poetry 7

I hate it.
Yes, that's right, me.
I am the I in
I hate it.

Hate, strong word.
Despise, detest,
Loathe, abhor.
It's big, deep,
Intense.
All consuming,
Overwhelming,
Destroying.

I just wish I knew
What the it was.

Poetry 6

Within, without.

Breathe in, breathe out.

Hold in, hold out.

Give in, give out.

Move in, move out.

Bring in, bring out.

Write in, write out.

Leave in, leave out.

Poetry 5

Grieve
Deeply
Fully
For everything
That holds you back
Keeps you down
Let it out
No exception.

Grieve
For the past
Accept the pain
The loves lost
Let it in
See it go
Give it air
Begin the flow.

Grieve
For now
For you
And them
When it hurts
Too much
When it's
Not enough.

Grieve
For the future
What won't be
What cannot
Shattered hopes
And dreams
Give it up
No expectation.
