Poetry Tuesday – The Broken Mistress
This burning blood upon my broken face Has killed this sour soul with disgust and disgrace. Your gaping eyes gaze with longing so true, But, my dear, no love resides in you. Do your simple soul and malevolent mind Lack any comforting cure that can bind My poor, petty existence to your lust, For my…

Poetry Tuesday – Autumn’s Dance
Autumn’s Dance Like grains of sand flowing Through the hourglass, Counting down another second That beats into a day, The leaves dance above. Golden sunshine hues their yellow To brightest beauty. The autumnal ballet continues As the branches partner themselves With the wind, Whistling through the willows. The clap of thunder echoes, The distant darkness…

Poetry Tuesday – I Will
I will kneel at the closed stone door And survive the pain of the meek and poor Until His light shines down upon my face, Filling my spirit with warmth and grace. I will alone walk down a darkened path, Knowing in my heart that He who hath Adorn mercy and unconditional love Shall…

Poetry Tuesday – Breaking Away
Where is it you hope to run, child? Every road you take Will bring you right back here– A place of devastation and tears. I am, however, that little voice In your head you never listen to. All this terror, my dear, You brought upon yourself Through your actions, decisions, Unwillingness to change. Pity yourself,…
