Hi! Am 29, married with a daughter, just been offered a deal for my first book - To Touch a Butterfly so will be in the shops/online within 3 months. Love reading and writing. I am a stronger writer than poet but I enjoy it and find it an excellent way to unwind and release feelings. Have looked around and found some incredibly heartfelt and beautiful poetry on this site. I see the beauty of most work and don't believe that poetry has to be a set form, patterned or any other of the traditional methods. I love reviewing and am honest about what I read. I will say though I think it takes guts to put your work out there particularly if it's about something painful in your life. So this is to you if you've submitted something - WELL DONE! |
Unplanned, a shock, the end of my life,
That did not mean that we did not want you...
Walking past lonely cold stones
With this dark inside my heart...
I know you don’t understand my reasoning
I know you don’t believe what I say...
Open your eyes now my darling
Let me kiss them until you awake...
All dressed up in gold and cream
Feeling trapped like I need to scream...
How did it ever come to this
Dark and empty inside...
Oh love how I miss your warm embrace
The smile that you can light up on my face...
Open your eyes now my darling
Let me kiss them until you awake...
Was it ever really meant to be? Did you ever...
Did you feel the same feeling I felt inside...
Self-harm out of desperation is easy after the first, the real struggle would be to heal, but what a rewarding journey it can be |
