Poetry, Life

A heart that falls at the mention of words A mind so strong, made meek Questions I pose many, to forget The moment dreaded now, a memory later Life tears but threads to sew. A halt offered absence to yearn Appreciated value found in a return My day cured by a nurturing art All the woes diminished by a pen Giving up is an option lost again. The eyes of another may not meet mine Differences, a speciality that entices rivals Walking away, often denied by impulse Amends made through unspoken lines The hate shown confused by a love that grows. Pertinence does the detail show A thought offering a brighter hue Freedom yielded, by progress Confidence stealing time, irrecoverable Modesty enabling an opportunity to hone. Emotional instability, concealed through expression A fearless smile thriving, in the knowledge of a reprieve The weight that drags, converted to suspenders My destiny I pursue - the writings, my own.
