Recipe Zest

Laptop at hand buried in my cozy bed
- distraction -
raining outside but words stuck in my head
- focus -
is needed to clarify my thoughts, get them out
- teasing -
messages from him to my inbox right now
- consuming -
driving me crazy with emotions all intense
- insanity -
overloading, give me some peace tonight
- relax -
be in the moment, breathing calmness and still
- creative -
is when my mind can be free at it's very best
- reflect -
on experience, putting it together to connect
- luring -
all my mind heart and soul into poetry zest

Perfect Mother Nature

clouds for me to sleep on at night
the moon so I can read by lamp light
stars as friends to guide my dreams
pure mild breeze my air to breath
ocean to caress my body clean
sun my sign it's a brand new day

Eyes Looking Back at Me

Gazing in the bathroom mirror
My eyes looking back at me
Anguish and misery - all I see
Years just like groundhog day
Never seeing it any other way

Life is meant to be more than this
If only a genie - grant me a wish
We all experience pain this is true
Grant me the strength to see this through
Please is this never going to end
Save me from my misery

Luck sometimes comes your way
Giving you hope a brand new day
So I now feel at home all is good
Settled sorted as much as one could
A quiet moment - inhaling it all in
Feel that I exist here and this is real
Knowing this day hasn't been a dream

Never to be taken for granted
Not once - where i have been
Now as I gaze into that mirror
I like what looks back at me
My eyes see a new chapter
That of endless possibilities
A sky that has no limits
A new space long time seen

By Me

Just pages of U

Pages been inked
Reflection of time
Memories one can rewind
Moments been and gone
Words still ring true
Emotions connected
It's a picture of you
These were ugly times
Unpleasant and few
My only saviour
Just pages of you
It had to be this way
You were always closed
Eyes - mouth - ears
Your feelings so blank
You present me a wall
With no face and no heart
What was a girl to do
But make a brand new start


By Me

Love = Life

It's been a while for me what about you?
Almost forgotten or possibly not a clue
Fantasies arise - begin to store and evolve
What once was a truth - is now disolved

So it's been a while for me - what about you?
Surely I know - what on earth I have to do
What distraction has caused intimacy zero for me
Calm my crazy world so iron clad I can't see

Why walk this earth with my eyes wide shut
Deny myself opportunity, intimacy and love
Closed to inspiration for a heart just beating life
Trying to send me signals to feel love beaming bright

Knowing I have it within me but yet I'm petrified
Wish it would just find me - envelope me so kind
Embracing feelings - I have so long been denied
Help me decipher the signs so I don't lose my mind

Hey you out there - if your reading my rhyme
Please - let this be your sign .........................
Don't be like me - and forget what life is all about
LOVE = LIFE


By Me

3 = One

You would think they are the one and same
Me, myself and I - intertwined
Its all here - different parts co-exist
Influence this mind three egos persist
At times a battle - here to be won
Thoughts and emotions going round the twist
Three = one / at times hard to control
Confusion, decisions they are all involved
Although different - but all part of one
I couldn't imagine life any other way
Three different perspectives weight divided
I assure you not equally - then decided
Sometimes I lose to myself and I
But me is who I am and that's just fine

By Just Me

Trusting Existence

Like a blank canvas and nothing to paint
I stare into oblivion with no sign of life
Body a statue, so tense locked tight
A darkness a shadow will never leave my sight

To someone so little a very trusting existence
On reflection such an intrusion of innocence
Adults speak such lies which look like truth
Frightened, confused, just run and hide

Locked away files - memories stored in the mind
Permanent - cannot be erased - scarred for life
Sometimes thoughts stone cold - my heart is dead
To this day fight to feel free - a will to the very end
