many of us
are the walking wounded
deep scars, putrid sores
unseen by naked eyes,
yet bandaged
we hobble along,
our smiles
hiding the wince beneath.

What My Mama Said To Me…3
Mama said to me, baby,
anyone who keeps dragging you three steps back
when you manage to take one step forward,
must be left behind
to admire your back view
as you hustle along.

What My Mama Says To Me…#1
My mama said to me
“Baby, don’t look for others to lift you up,
‘cos you’ll be disappointed.”
“Rather, make your shoulders
strong enough to support others
and you’ll rise up with them.”

Pleasure and Excite – Ronovan Writes Weekly Haiku Challenge
This week’s haiku prompt ‘Pleasure & Excite’ gave me several options and pleasure to write 🙂
Life offers opportunities that excite,
sometimes it’s pleasure and sometimes it’s pain,
we simply roll with it.
Her heart went ba-dah-bum,
his warm touch and engaging smile excite her,
loving him her secret pleasure.
Thoughts of the baby excite them
they think of names for their bundle
conceived in love and pleasure.

Tired…
Hold It!
I seek my contentment and peace without apologies because it can’t be purchased and it’s so easy to lose in today’s world.
when you’ve been pierced
by the blunt edge of pain
you will know that
the sharp sweetness of joy
is far better to hold
close to your chest.

Fringes of Darkness…
Depression is a silent enemy. It steals in to steal from you.
i’ve walked the fringes of darkness
where i felt the hard blunt bleakness of pain
and the stark reality of depression,
where i’ve queried the essence of life
in the time of such deep despair.
i’ve been beaten, molested and left to die,
i’ve stared death in the face many a times,
but only one whisper
kept me hanging on to the thread;
hope, that one day
this too shall pass,
and in the midst of hope
let my life be a lamp.

There’s nothing to romanticize about depression! It’s not a good place to be. Take it from me.
Whirlwind…
She fears her life
is a nightmarish carousel
taking her on a whirlwind journey
but getting nowhere in a hurry.
