June Mornings

Sun slips through slits in the blinds The faint light awakens my senses. I use to feel a void An emptiness My hollowness was an extension Of my own forced missteps. I spent so long wasting time Confused and scared. Alone and cold. Mistakes in the past still feel so fresh. As if that’s all I was made for All I was bred for. I was brought here by choices I’ll never forget Emotions I thought were legit. The pain of the past is what pushed me towards this light This sun that spills through To remind me and Pushes the morning forward. I’ll never know all the answers And I’ve always been a little scared. Until The sun cuts through the window Coloring the darkness and coating your face. And when our eyes meet for the first time each new day I know there is no where I would rather be.

tony, Fluke,Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
