autumn dream

 

The rain falls before

the trees set aflame

a fresh cleansing

for love’s claim

 

For sunlight’s ease

shortens like the days

but remains steady

through this phase

 

The light awoke up

made us believe dreams

fears retreated, doubts cleared

and reality ripped seams

 

As we shift seasons

taking a step forward

we shed a dead layer

knowing what we move toward

 

Lively green sets aflame

beauty before death crunches

a shedding, a preparing

for fruit’s new bunches

You lifted me up

when I felt down

brought hope and joy

as I turned around

 

You told me plans

to take care of me

I felt secure

wrapped tightly in your arms

 

I returned the embrace

trusted your vision

as our words built a world

of our future divined

 

For first sight burst

forth an awakened love

glimmered a reality

of our deeply hidden dreams

Every day becomes

second chance at happiness

I choose you always

 

become what you make

the reality of your

American dream

 

Accepting the truth

honesty defeats the doubt

steadfast connection

A Coffee Stained Heart

I knew at once

you were the one

the nervous smile

fronting a quiet kindness

 

A coffee spot lingered

opposite your heart

endearing you to me

as you listened, waiting

 

hoping you see too

a sign for more

an opening to turn

the handshake to a kiss

 

The words flow

laying a path

set to smiles

leading to love

Woman in Black

Today I wear black

not to show darkness

but to mute the doubt

that I’ll see your back

 

For I stand solid strong

sure in your protective arms

even at a distance,

singing our song

 

Notes of hope advance

a comforting melody plays

inviting the next stride

of our love’s dance

 

a single step back

does not disconnect

but rocks you forward

leaning onto me dressed in black

Green Bursts Forth

a quiet surrounds

for once peace resounds

mind has calmed

a break from the noise

 

outside green abounds

I gaze out the window

at the growth I’ve found

reflected back in me

 

I let go, all unwound

once my fist loosens

I hit solid ground

rooted once again

 

I have no bounds

as I step up

Sand Castle

hope, light, neglect, poem, poetry, truth

So good raising me

all bad was beyond

you had no effect

on the young mold

 

Now I wonder

where the base is

did it exist

or was it sold

 

the leaking cracks

must be my fault

for not speaking

left alone in the cold

 

Today this distance

lacks a bridge

no apologies owed

is what I’m told

 

Nothing new here

I see light

where you see sand

standing with you, I fold

 

So I take a step

no matter how small

I grow hope in truth

my real base takes hold

Hope Centered

bitterness, center, forgiviness, happiness, healing, heart, hope, poem, poetry, roots

Hope centered

on happiness fails

a faulty feeling

delivery fleeting

 

Bitterness roots

forgiveness heals

not a cure or easy

but better forgotten

 

Good intentions make

a centered goal

but guarantees

no desired result

 

For a heart knows not

complexities of itself

let alone another’s

so judge not unseen

 

 

A heart knot knows naught.

Waiting, always

when shame goes

after all it sows

never knowing

 

Growing, rooted

some fruitful

others hurtful

rooted all the same

 

Sharing, hopeful

too afraid

offers made

yet none taken

 

Intending, helpful

not result

instead tumult

burying healing

  • Starlit Darkness 
              As it felt like I continued to fall deeper into darkness, I reminded myself to keep dreaming positively. My stars matched my pajamas to encourage my sleeping dreams as well.  The following weekend I ventured out with my friends to attend a Taking Back Sunday and The Used concert. Surrounding […]

  • Falling
          These plain manicures go back to the fall. The season marked a time of change and a new look at my world. Perhaps the perspective in what I held in my hands stole some of the focus and expression I would normally have for my nail art.  I went from a bold […]

  • Plain Sparkles
    After the Top Shelf plain manicure, I had another plain one with some sparkles added. I just didn’t feel spirited enough to enjoy my me time. I still made myself go through the motions though. I might not have been applying makeup regularly, but I kept my nails polished. The little touches kept me from […]
