Poetry

""Woven are these pages in poetic verse,
With bare threads of our deepest feelings,
You will find laughter, tears and remorse,
and words of wisdom, prayer and healings.""

Written are these phrases from the heavy heart
that until this moment remains broken.
Healing verses mend the separate halves that part
by the beauty of language that is spoken.

Metaphors and simile express the fire
that smolder in the bosom of a writer
who only seeks to send to you with fond desire
a verse to make our weary lives much brighter.
