A Journey into Creativity
Cheese
Grinning from ear to ear But her eyes gave her away Diving in, another piece of cheese. Her only solace, was she a mouse? Cheddar melting on her tongue, The sharpness makes her feel…. It’s about all that she senses. Spiraling, watching it happen. Still not sure what will make it stop. Make it stop.…
Aisle Eight
Sitting here, biting lips, Trying not to say a word. Cringing as the future unfolds, One voice drowned by the din. They know exactly what they do, But it’s not what the cheering masses think. Those who see it know, We won’t be heard for now, But we’ll end up cleaning the mess they make.…
Empty
Barren shelves, white as fresh fallen snow Waiting for beauty and whimsy to grace thee Faded family photos set aside to blend in But inspiration is elusive and out of grasp. The festive holiday has passed And a chill has settled in my bones. Nothing brings in the warmth Not even this freshly brewed tea…
Fragile
Sitting on a shelf, waiting to be played with; This is where fragile items go. On display when the time comes, Or gathering dust out of sight. Sadness would show in dimmed eyes If this were real, if things had feelings, But instead, gentle smiles plastered on faces Must be careful with fragile things; But…
Hang On, Holidays
Twinkling lights still shimmer On tired boughs of green; Delaying farewells to the season, Let’s keep it up a few more days. The holidays started late this year And work caused everything to be rushed; Just a few more moments of peace Before the frenzy resumes once more. Soon the holiday movies will end, The…
The End Insight
The season’s warm glow fades The chill sets into our bones Frivolity will soon cease Cheer and hope soon will wane But for now we push forward A false sense of new beginnings Just waiting for reality to settle in. Smiles, toasts, plastered grins. But we all know, it will one day end. (Well…that took…
Aisle Six
Let them fail, then they’ll learn… But lessons should be shared too. Striking the balance, so I’m not the bitch, But also not guilty by omission. Where is the line? Ha! Line? What line? There is no line. Once advice is rejected, guidance refused, Load up the wet buckets and the mops. Invariably there will…
Smoke
Steady stare into the abyss, Softening focus, then maybe she’ll see, Script formed in an ancient language Long forgotten by current man. Incense wafts an earthy scent, Grounding her to the past. Winds push the smoke out Swirls turn to calligraphy, Chills runs through her bones As the dancing trail begins to reveal A story…
Why
Why is there this hollowness from nowhere A hole where my heart rests Years have passed, still, it creeps upon me from time to time A yearning to connect, even for just a moment Triggered by a song, a smell, Sometimes a random thought That longing which cannot be fulfilled It will not dissipate, no…
Kaleidoscope
Fluttering yellow and black, They land for a sip of water. Their friends float near by, Bouncing rays off gossamer wings. A moment of peace in a crazy world The spin slows to quarter time And calm takes over. The heart slows, a smile spreads. Wish you were here to see this place. Travel down…
