Sunflower

#creative writing, #poetry

A Sunflower

is the best flower

somewhere stuck

between the dark and the light

halfway closed

and almost open

like a heart, not sure

if it’s ready to face the sky

The End

#creative writing, #poetry

When all is said and done

I’ll dive into the sun

and watch the warmth

from my fingertips

as though my eyes

could see

through every cell of my being

Lost

#creative writing, #poetry

find me

I am lost in morning

waiting for a thought

to raise me from

the comfort

of comfort

-homebound

Middle Ground

#creative writing, #poetry

I am the morning

in more ways than one

I am the night

when morning is done

but the day

does not come to me

it hides away and prays

for the girl who finds the bed much safer

than the the daily paths

we all must tread

The Scam

#creative writing, #poetry

How could you be so cruel?

when you took my money

and my kindness

You let me say ‘thank you’

over and over again

and never gave

a hint of guilt

as your words fell

on fragile ears

~

You probably thought

how stupid she is

this gullible

sad

pathetic

miserable creature

giving all she had

and all her mother had

~

Taken by the very hand

she made

when you made me lie

straight to her face

~

You made me a fool

sitting on a fence

one gust of wind away

from falling into the abyss

the one

I’ve fought

so long to resist

~

You didn’t even hesitate

when you took it all away

and I am so angry

at you

at me

at every branch

on this pathetic tree

~

Roots dig deep

locking me in place

this self-loathing hell

I’ve tried so hard to escape

~

and so

~

You might have won today

but you will not win my world

for tomorrow belongs to me

this girl

who is more

than fear and her tears

-Victim

Balance

#creative writing, #poetry

The sleeper does not know

what the waker sees

for dreams can only be kept

somewhere in-between

-hiding

More than today

#creative writing, #poetry

I am more powerful

than the positions we all hold

for within my chest

lies the secret of my soul

-surrender

Close

#creative writing, #poetry

The new earth

clings to my bones

like ice

frozen under extreme conditions

-Saved by the icy deep

Two

#creative writing, #poetry

I am deep

so be careful

you might fall straight through me

splitting me in two

~

new pieces

arguing with each-other

not realising

they are on the same side

~

I talk

and you call me Dr Phil

I laugh

but know inside that you are right

to some degree

~

what is wrong with wisdom

living in a girl

not yet thirty?

~

I like to read

and know

more than what

I’ve been trained to understand

~

so stand with me

and watch as I knit

myself back together

with your hands

end of eternity

#creative writing, #poetry

I sit in time for a while

and forget all spoken words

as the blood in each hand

stirs my veins into dust

from old stars who have passed

beyond this night

and continue to shine

their long dead light
