Inner Strength
It occurred to her Moments into her resolve During the eve of her awakening That battles were made of breakable stone
Woes & Waterfalls
Then, like the coward he was Disbanded the apex of my cranium Succumbed me to the untimely pendulum Of his clenched fists
Farewell
Relieve me As fragments of my painful memory Pierce and press firm against my heart
Prose & Pronouns
Penned in ink The paragraphs I drafted in prose and pronouns The paper was blank
Like Sand
In this subdued mood I find myself In a constant ebb of itself Grieving for you
Like Therapy
Enlighten me From where all aching depletes Squander the indulgence Of curative measure
Albatross
Bring me your suffering In drones of your laborious torment To carry your burdens In parcels like cargo and millstone
TRIBUTE & DEDICATION
All homage to the resilience. Thrown in the lonely trenches, you can’t really tell beneath all the fruition, all that came with it, all the wreckage, the black and blues, all the spreaded legs.
