The sunset slept
with a golden hue
blinking the day to dusk.
The moonlight sang
gleaming down on you.
Your skin a kiss of stardust.
Gleaming Stardust
The Kingdom You Made, I Protect
Look at all these little ones
Made from me of you
Genetics run deep
Something I know you knew
The gift of the reader
The teller of stories
The passion of makers
They all hold your glory
We are your kinship
Although not worth your day
Your kingdom is here
I protect what you slay
A Writer’s Prayer
Rip the raw power of song and verse from my heart
Expel my pleas in notes to touch a soul
Gift me meaning to life
Vitality to feel
And words to express
Grant me the need to construct meanings to emotions
And apprehension to grasp the rules of the world
Rules that form chaos
Rules that confound
Rules that drown people too deep
Help me lift them out
Before they drown again
Man of My Dreams (Poem)
Man of My Dreams
You are the man of my dreams.
You are the man of my world.
You fill up my being.
You grant me my thrills.
You hold onto my heart.
You deliver me hope.
You conquer my dark.
You never let me go.
Thankful for you,
I always will be.
You are the love of my life.
You are the man of my dreams.
Spreading Thin
I’m breaking
I’m failing
I’m tearing at the seams
I’m hopeless
I’m trying
growing more tired it only seems
Can’t hold myself together
Can’t talk with any skill
Can’t get through the day
With any extra time to fill
I’m running
I’m planning
Trying not to break down
I’m working
I’m grasping
No comfort to be found
I’m fauxing a smile
That’s getting worse every day
I’m trying to breathe without crying
Trying to keep monsters at bay
But every day they seep closer
I’m closer to giving up
Just need some time to rest
Just need some time to slump
Need some time for myself
Time I’ll never have
that time doesn’t exist
In my world or my head
Need as much time as i can savor
For my dreams and my goals
When in reality I’m failing
Dying, becoming skin and bones
I’m running myself ragged
Running myself sick
Trying too hard for everything
Spreading myself thin
I Found You (Poem)
Decided to display one of my happier poems today because I sure need the distraction and reminder of love from the things I’m stressing about in life right now <3. Hope it can help you too if you need it.
I Found You
I found you.
The one half to form my two,
my twin flame, my lover, my friend,
the one to make my search end,
I found you.
The one to change my life,
wash away my pain,
and keep me from flight,
happiness soars, sadness out of sight,
I found you.
The one every breath counts on,
the one every dream leans on,
the only one my heart beats from,
I found you.
Yes, I found you.
Afterthought
Just an afterthought in your mind
when I hold something you need.
Otherwise we never meet eyes
and you despise the likes of me.
Never will it come to an understanding.
This cycle will never end.
Since I’m the trash you take out and forget
the moment my usefulness ends.
Everlasting Rest
Everlasting Rest
She’s weak, she’s tired.
There’s nothing no more.
She’s helpless and lost,
once called a whore.
She eats, she pukes,
no more her best.
She’s dying, she’s slipping,
everlasting rest.
Had to return to the sad stuff from the past today, especially since last night was an extra hard night for me. But the good thing to come out of the sad past is looking at it and realizing how far you have come and that you had made it even when you had thought that you wouldn’t. So if you ever think that you can’t make it now or if you have a relapse, you can remember what you had made it through before and know that you have it in you to do it again.
Words Can’t Express
I love you so much,
words can’t express.
Your eyes, your voice, your heart,
things I won’t forget.
You make my soul complete.
Make my life worth while.
Without you things would be,
worse than they have for a while.
I want you here with me.
When we dance, dreams come true.
Never want you to leave.
I swear I’m in love with you.
A light poem for today ❤ One I made in high school ❤
“They Do”
I’m going to keep on the happy stuff this week because what is better than when you are sad and trying to get out of a funk than writing happy things? 🙂 This week has been pretty emotional and hard. Maybe I will make it evident later why it has been, but that isn’t important right now. So I will leave you with kind of cute poem that I wrote when I was younger before I met my husband. I’m not positive if I was dating anyone at the time, but I guess I made my own little brief happy ending with whoever was in my thoughts at the time.
They went through heartache
in pain and in grief.
They separated for a while,
but then realized what they need.
He needed her.
She made him smile each day.
She needed him.
With him, nightmares go away.
They finally came back
to each other “they do”,
and now they’re happily married
ending their doom.
