The deepest belief I have ever held is that all of us, every person, has a goodness within, deep inside their core, that even when we’re pushed to the edge, we can always find some love for our fellow humans. This life is a challenge. May we find a way to walk toward the light,…

Today I walked on the beach. When I came to the place I wanted to stop, I took a moment a surveyed the scene. I stopped, I took a breath, and I looked around… I noticed one thing, I was struck by one thing, as I looked back from where I had come I noticed…

A New Chapter is what I wanted.A new beginning is what I needed.Love was the last thing on my mind.This is not what I expected to find.My heart stuck in overdrive.Wondering if I should be thankful to be alive?Wondering how I will ever survive?I want you in my life.My heart aches to be without you.Every…

I do not know why you have chosen this path for us.I know what I can never let you go. I have begged God for the answers,I’ve begged for the truth to set me free. But freedom I cannot seem to receive. It has been so many days,since I last saw your face. It’s been…

You asked me why I stay.You asked me why I went after you,after all the things you’ve done. One day,after the marathon of play,after my birthday,after the breakfast that we made.

“Goodbye my love,” I said.Goodbye, my friends.Goodbye, my world.Goodbye, my love. I held out for as long as I could.I begged, and pleaded for it to stop.I screamed into the night.I did my best to try to make it right. I tore the days into shreds.I tried my very best to decipher your codes.I almost…

I didn’t want anyone to know, Once planted, were ready to sow, Those pains, they continued to show, The emptiness, I now know, Those dreams you placed in me, they continued to grow, A love, that has left me so very hollow, How quickly, you became a part of my soul, And how, I had…

This post is a bit of a departure from the poetry I normally write. I received this as a writing prompt recently and I was amazed how quickly the words flowed forth from my pen. In my experience, writings that come this quickly from my mind, without much prompting usually connect with others at a…

I do not understand. Why this path, we had to take? Why my world, had to blow up? Why every day, my tears still fall? The love that shines, throughout my soul. Why I still keep looking, out the window? Thinking I have seen your face. Praying that you were mine. I’ve looked to the…

I remember when the laughter came freely.I remember when the heart was the only blunt instrument I needed to get through the day.I remember when my deepest emptions came and went on a gentle breeze. I remember a time when I did not feel ill-at-ease.I remember each one of my strengths and every single one of…
