I've always enjoyed poetry and I have even been inspired to write some. My brother read a few of my poems once and he said, "I know what to call your book of poems... Poems from the darkside." hehe
Later my mom read a few and then she proclaimed I was going to burn in hell and then proceeded to laugh and laugh. (She read a couple of the erotic ones.)
Oh well... what is it they say about families and critics???
I decided to share a few poems I wrote awhile back... A few favs anyway. I hope you enjoy reading them.
Battered
Battered, beaten, shamed and torn
This is the life for which she was born
In the dark of night, what he made her do
No longer a child but nobody knew
Her eyes aglow so warm and kind
Began to darken with the measure of time
Her soul was payment of which she paid
A lovely spirit, which began to fade
No longer seeing, no longer does she care
This is a cross that she alone must bare
Love and happiness is only a dream
Which comes in the silence after her scream
Drink
My lips are soft and ready to please
To capture your love on bended knees
My eyes are wide with growing lust
This you can see with infinite trust
My hands enfold and embrace
Not to forget to stroke and pace
My mouth so eagerly awaits
Your hidden refuge and sweet taste
Take me as I am my eyes say to you
Take this part that is far over due
Let me drink the very essence of thee
With my parted lips take solace in me
This next one... well to make a long story short when I first moved to Virginia I ended up losing custody of my children and so I did sink deep into depression and well... This poem really explains where I was at.
Morning
Morning has come and once again I’m alone
No one else around or even at home
The light hasn’t come yet to start the day
It is still so dark and I am the night’s prey
I lay alone in this bed of mine
Wondering if I should get up this time
I roll my body over and fumble with the clock
Then lay back with my covers and sigh in deep thought
Another day before me and here I am
Once again alone not wanting it to begin
To face a new challenge that comes my way
But secretly hoping it will all just go away
No longer do I wish to open up my eyes
To face another day without you by my side
I cannot tell a soul these thoughts inside my head
They would not understand and lock me up instead
How cruel is it to have a child to love and to hold
To have them ripped from you body and your very soul
How cruel is it to love someone so very far away
Wondering if you will get the chance to see them some day
No longer do I wish to face these lonely days ahead
Knowing I am alone, I’d rather stay in bed
Closing my eyes to a dream land for an escape
Instead of an existence that we humans tend to make
