Poetry of Emotions
Writing is a cathartic process in which I find my voice in different facets of each poem. Poetry, is a unique discourse of reflections
APOLOGIZE
Who am I to tell you what to feel?
or whom to forgive
I live my life for everyone, not just
Myself
I feel your pains and disappointments
I rejoice in your successes
Sometimes I fail you
But it’s not because of selfishness
Like you I’m growing and
Learning
Understanding life because there are
So many connotations’ it’s hard to
Keep up
I listen to your impassioned
Speech
Which reaches all the way down
To my soul
Repercussions
I didn’t stop to think what the repercussions would be if the lie was wrapped in honey and fed with a side of love
I didn’t stop to look into the future and view the outcome of a fairytale when the prince turned into a frog with the help of a princess holding onto a crystal ball and wishing for a fairytale outcome and the repercussions
Wouldn’t turn back upon themselves
Fall Out
I’ve learned a lesson
Never take for granted
What the heart wants
And can’t have
Secrets have a way
Of revealing themselves
Truths become make believe
Reality hides behind discrete
Lies
When in the end you have to
Pick up the pieces to honesty
Fall out lashes at you
Silencing your voice
PAST INDESCRESSIONS
I laid down and gave my love to a dream
No regrets only wish and make believe
I laid down and gave my love to a dream
That dream turned into burnt ashes
That dream turned into many broken pieces
I laid down and gave my love to a dream
In secret pleasure held many colors
The price of desire was paid with disillusionment
Atoning for sins forgivable and unforgivable
I laid down and gave my love to a dream
That now dispassionately
Haunts my heart
HURT
When I looked into the eyes
The color of the rainbow
Doubt and disbelief mixed
In with confusion
Stared Through the shadow of
Wariness distributing
Warning of a storm on the
Horizon blowing in to change
A world you thought to be
Born into but not born to
Become a part of pain
Healing
Heaven blessed me with you
You gave me something to hold on too
For that my dream became complete
When searching a face of innocence
With a kiss I blow you a wish
That inside your heart forgiveness
Lives and healing have taken up a seat
Where antipathy once dwelled
Forgive
How can I seek forgiveness?
When
I haven’t learnt to forgive
Myself
What atonement is there to satisfy?
Inquiring minds
To bare the guilt of keeping
Secrets
When in hindsight the only one
Who
Needed protecting was me
If what I’ve done only cemented
Injured feelings
If what I’ve excused as protecting
Innocent beings
From truths and held onto a dream
Of discontent
My only wish is to
Forgive
