The Girl Who Chased the Sun
Long before cities and farms, Nations and faiths, Perhaps before language, Certainly before poetry, There was a girl who chased the sun. At dawn she would rise and start walking east and when she grew tired, rest. On berries, roots and leaves she would feast then set off walking west. When it left she would set her camp and head upon the the same dreary hill, Although the moon beamed down upon her bed she dreamed of sunshine still. Through wind and rain she stayed her course pursuing she knew not what. Though at times her joy had a scorching force to her it never felt too hot. A woman she remained the invariable traveller roaming this way then that, One summer dusk she met a fellow wanderer and her belly grew fat. But the stranger was not so disposed to sun that with her he would stay, Though she would've liked a daughter or a son a herb carried them away. Though this brought her searing pain and gloom It was nothing when compared, to the day that formed some dark sphere of doom, the vision of her love impaired This life of quiet, thoughtful pace graced her with many years more, Than others of her tribe and race - she lived till nearly thirty-four. To the last she stared up at the skies, no wonder on what was to come. With a blissful smile she closed her eyes and caught up with the sun.

“Pretty Girl”
“You’re”pretty”.. “You’re beautiful”.. “You’re gorgeous”..they say But what do they see when they look at me..?? Do they see a girl thats broken inside? Do they see a girl thats longing for them to look into her eyes? Do they see a girl that’s damaged beyond repair. Do they see the scars that have... read more

Bright star
Bright star, I wish I were as unwavering as you Not hung alone in splendor through the night, Watching, with eyes wide open yet still true, Like nature's patient, sleepless eremite. The flowing waters, their cleansing ritual, Wash earth's human shores with priestly grace, Or watching soft snow... read more

To Be A True Introvert...
In the stillness of my soul, where shadows dance and play, A tapestry of longing unfolds, a heart's own way. To be an introvert, a wanderer in the night, A seeker of connection, yet lost in the light. I crave the warmth of human touch, the comfort of a gentle breeze, But social demands, a stormy... read more

Blessed is the soul, when I gasp at emotion after eternity in damnation, when I feel after an epic epoch insensate. Blessed is the heart, when I crawl out of the cell in numb nation, when I care after an epic aeon indifferent. Blessed is the mind, when I grasp me out of contemplation, when I... read more

Working with Mom
A sight just brought tears to my eyes- I had to escape upstairs. I caught the empty stare into the open air, Dissociated from the task that's still at hand, The pricing for our proposal tomorrow. She wanders back to comfort- putting on a dress for a party that's two weeks away: "Take my... (edited) read more

Woman
You are an enigma, That mysterious shadow that walks at night, It disappears in the mornings, with those sunrises. You are a sign That twinkling star, Which is lost in the sky in an instant. you are water That deep ocean, Misunderstood enough, to be tamed by another. You are a work of art, That... read more

Better to rip off the plaster Face the music And dance barefoot in the ashes Than to be burned Along with the ruins I'll be labelled both a legend and a goat Having escaped the drama But no doubt I'll be tarred stuffed and feathered in name By the farmer

Romance poetry:
My love, you are the sunshine bright, Warming my heart and lighting up the night. In your eyes, my soul finds a home, With you, I am never alone. Your touch ignites a burning flame, Melting my fears and soothing my pain. With every kiss, my love for you grows, Forever and always, my heart belongs... read more

As I stare into your eyes My soul drinks from the heavens As I taste your lips desire is engulfed in thought of external embrace I see you I feel you I taste you With you there is no want For anything but you My love for you is not meant for mere words For mere thoughts My love for you Eternal

Broken Bloom
Invited to the party, never asked to dance. Just a pretty wall flower, never given the chance, to grow into what she knew she could be. Just a pretty wall flower, just myself and me. Perfect for the moment, Till sweet goes sour, Just a pretty wall flower, with no power. Plucked for vase, a fickle... read more

The One That Eluded
In memory’s quiet chambers, shadows dance, Where stardust waltzed and moonbeams prance, Lies the echo of a love unclaimed, The bittersweet ache of the one that got away. We danced to laughter’s sweet refrain, A symphony of hearts in twilight’s play, Yet fate, that fickle spinner of threads,... read more

If I get time, I'll think about it
Why do you seem good to me? If I get time, I’ll think about it. What have I seen in you? If I get time, I’ll think about it. The whole city is full of acquaintances, many lay claims, but Who is truly ours? If I get time, I’ll think about it. I wrote to her, suggesting ways to meet, She wrote... (edited) read more
