Afraid to touch
afraid to see
So beautiful
so vibrant
so full of life is she
To hear her voice
is to hear no more
So exquisite
so divine
so delicate a tone
Beauty so deep
beauty so raw
nothing compares

Daily Prompt: Invitation
There it sits,
beckoning me.
White, pure, pristine.
Golden secrets swirling inside
coming together to reveal
when magic appears.
Dare I open it?
Dare I see
if the invitation is really
for me?

Never Be Far
Tea for two
Apples are blue
When the night sky alights
I think of you
Come to me
When daisies can see
I will give to you
Kisses so sweet
Lie with me
On angel’s wings
Promises of true love
I will sing
Listen if you must
To serpent’s lies
See the truth
Within my eyes
Tea for two
Apples are blue
Wish upon a star
I will never be far

Daily Prompt: Crossing
The days go by
one by one
there seems no end
to this torment
and scorn
When lines are crossed
and bridges burned
there is no turning back
no redemption earned
The chasm before me
is wide and deep
Desert lay behind
green and lush before me sweeps
Crossing into the unknown
is scary at best
One last bridge
one foot forward
one last hope
for a life worth living.

Poetry – writing prompt
Crisp clean lines
Scrawled across the paper
Images of beauty
Tranquillity
Death and renewal
What ends
Will begin again
Different in all but one
No matter how long you fight it
Rant and rave against it
Ignore what is so plain to see
Life moves forever forward
Do not dismiss the beauty around you
Revel in it
For tomorrow is another day
The beauty different
Wonders to take in
Process
Put to paper
What the eye sees
The soul feels
And the heart hears
Be it a sweet song
Or tradgey

This is from a prompt on Writing Outside the lines.
No More
Darkness surrounds me
threatens to consume
at ever turn.
Make me into something
a mother would spurn.
I try to fight it
with thoughts of love
hope
family
all that is good in life,
but despair is ever my bane,
taking that which was once good
turning it into hatred
burning hot
bright.
Beware of creatures
living deep within,
claws sharpen
teeth gnashing,
sinking deep into flesh
releasing poison
to blacken souls,
rendering chaos
before taking flight.
Hold onto the light
grasp with both hands
cling to hope with desperation
or darkness will consume
life until with one blink
existence is
no more.

Daily Prompt: Elicit
All it takes is
a turn of the head
a parting of lips
you crumple
fall
and in the end
are mine.

Breathe
Breathe
before it’s to late
Breathe
allow the chaos to abate
Breathe
I will wait
Breathe
Whatever it takes
try to remember
when your world starts to break
Breathe

On You
I warned you what would happen
if you denied me.
What happens next
is on you.

Daily Prompt: Promises
Promises kept
never broken
are promises that are truly
from the heart’s
love spoken.
Promises made
but never kept
are promises best
left behind.
For promises broken
lead to heartache
unspoken.
