Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Thoughts: 3 of 275

THOUGHTS SENT OF YOU There is a fire going in the fireplace To take off the night chill. There is not a sound except for the rain Beating against the glass upon the windowsill, And the beating of our hearts. It's peaceful, serene as two people ponder The warm affection they have for each other. They understand the meaning of...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: On mothers: 6 of 186

LOCKED AWAY Locked away in my mind. Another place, another time. When life was seen through the eyes of a child. Innocent, Serenity. Childhood memories. A mother's love To wipe away the tears. To share advice throughout the years. Warm memories of long ago. Downhill sleigh. Across the snow. Cast Iron stove inviting warmth an...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Identity: 6 of 175

WHAT REMAINS For years I felt insane playing someones foolish game. Years a prisoner to his domain underneath it, only a surname. Identity hid and out of place hiding within not running the race.

FONDEST MEMORIES Fondest memories when I was very young. When we sat upon your knee and you sang my favorite songs. I still hear you singing from time to time.

Living with Fibromyalgia It was back in 1991 that I found myself sitting at the doctors office waiting to find out the prognosis as to why the pain in my back, shoulders etc. was not going away.

YOU NEVER TOLD ME You've always been here To mend the anguish To give advice and guidance In this point of time.

You were there to chase Away the heaviness. ...
