First Kiss

Butterflies, they whirled, my 
heart skipped a beat
A cliche, maybe so, I was 
swept me off my feet

Like a gentle breeze swaying, 
daydreams led the way
To a field filled with daisies, 
upon which I lay

His fingers of one hand 
threaded my hair
The other cupped my chin, 
hypnotized we both stared

A slight tremble through me, I 
knew it was right
Eyelids, much too heavy, they 
closed off my sight

So subtle, the feeling, his lips, 
they brushed mine
Overcome, I am drunk, on 
loves bittersweet wine

How to describe it, perpetual 
bliss
The beautiful moments of my 
very first kiss!

Mom

Unbreakable bond, tender her heart
My biggest fan, right from the start
Guiding me through every day
Allowing me some space
Not letting me stray
She is my friend
Till the end
She is
Mom

Homeless

Hanging around here, nowhere to go
Ominous darkness, zero below

Many will pass by, turning their head
Enveloped by warmth, when kind words are said

Liquor, it fills me, takes me away
Escorting me back, to that happier day

Shallow are many who cast judgement on sight
Seeking out refuge, praying I'll be alright

Healing Abuse By Forgiving

How to repair what you tore away
Embedded each detail, causing dismay
Anger, resentment, an eye for an eye
Lingering doubt while questioning why
Imminent danger, enticed to strike back
Numbing distortion, white's painted black
Grief over innocence, stolen by you

Aged 20 years, yet so little I grew
Buried a secret, too much to bear
Unable to keep down, disclose do I dare?
Searching I look for serenity's road
End all this chaos, I have to unload

But how can I heal a pain that's vein-deep?
Years of denial, I spoke not a peep

Forgive, I must do this, I cannot ignore
Open old wounds to heal at my core
Remember the child that I used to be
Grieve for that loss, set my anger free
Invite all my demons, destroy their sick game
Value myself, redirect blame
Imagine direction then let myself go
Navigate forward while taking it slow
Gift of forgiving will heal me I know...

Tattooed Black

Tattooed the memories, of time spent with you 
The years shared together, a million too few 

Spoke of our secrets, had each others back 
Your beautiful portrait, now painted black 

You promised forever, but had to let go 
Your own pain too heavy, this much I know 

A hole in my heart, beyond all repair 
If had to describe it, utter despair 

A beautiful friendship, frozen in time 
The moment now ugly, that once was sublime 

Why did you do it, for I cannot see 
The smile that you fronted, it even fooled me 

My only wish for you, serenity found 
Heavens gates opened, harmonious sound 

Your demons now crippled, setting you free 
Now a Guardian Angel, to watch over me...

A Gift To Me

A filth that wreaks a havoc, no ablution can make clean 
Voices that stir echoes, a reason left unseen 

Corruption of pureness, sickening of a mind 
Like a needle needs a vein, or a man that needs his kind 

A knife inserted slowly, penetrates my heart 
Just yesterday beat strongly, before it came apart 

I look back at the child who played without a care 
The deep scars that you carved, only she can now repair 

The privilege of my youth, you stole away from me 
Possessed, maybe demonic, why neither did I see? 

You had not been the evil, I envisioned, late at night 
Caught off guard, a frozen fear, I did not even fight 

You got just what you came for, satisfied, oh no 
I'm down here for the count, your blow was awfully low 

With every inch moved forward, almost over hill 
My calm thoughts start to empty, distortion starts to fill 

A deceitful web was woven, the mastermind was you 
Caved in to your sickened thoughts, I bet this wasn't new 

But kindness is NOT weakness, this child was not lost 
Choice of prey was your mistake, sold you out, forsaking cost 

I wonder if regret, eats away your inner soul 
Or only sorry you were caught and thrown into the hole 

My privileged youth you stole, your VICTIM, one time true 
Gave myself the gift of Forgiveness, now VICTORIOUS, no slave to you

Luck of a Shamrock

Luck of a shamrock, could it be true
  Magical plant, one day just grew
       Or lies told to me and you
        Tell me your point of view
            Fact or myth askew
               A shamrocks luck
                     I do pray
                       To be
                        True

Here and There

When you feel all alone, your world, it stands still
Or the road that you're traveling, seems only uphill

When the darkness, it lingers, even in day
Vision obscured, you can't find your way

When pain wreaks its havoc, too much to bear
Your stuck in the "HERE" yet, long to be "THERE"

When your soul is declining, that wants to ascend,
In a room full of people, you can't find a friend

Take a deep breath, look to your core
Much deeper than surface, the bad, don't ignore

Face all your demons, hold your head high
Have faith in yourself, the pain will subside

The storm soon will pass, the road, it will clear
And the "THERE" that you longed for, will now be found "HERE"
