Moon Goddess
The full moon
Created chaos
Within my troubled mind
It then proceeded
To provide clarity
Soothing my anxiety
The Moon Goddess
Played hide and seek
Weaving thoughts
Knotting them up
Then snipping them away
Oh Selene
Be kind
I implore thee
Bring me peace
Calm my thoughts
Make me whole
Past, Present, Future
My past was one of horror,
For I lived with such fear,
I never knew life would be so severe,
Unkind, Cruel and the path unclear
My present is a lot better,
For I have been a go getter,
I never knew life could be a pleasure,
Loving, nurturing with hopes of forever
My future looks so much brighter,
For I look forward to times that’ll be happier,
I never knew I would become a writer,
Penning the past, present and lighting the future
Work…In Progress
What comes after an offer
A moment of joyous exhilaration
A shred of doubt
Gripping anxiety
What comes after the last straw
A letter stating intent
Typed with precision
But not conveying true emotions
What comes after a decision
A rough conversation
Thoughtless negotiation
Angry rejection
What comes after a resignation
A second of relief
An avalanche of hesitancy
and borrowed confidence
Mother
Mother,
ours is neither a tale of love,
nor one of altruism,
ours is one of resentment,
filled with grief,
and pulsating hate…
Never has there been a day
in which I have not wished
that we were never related,
Estrangement has not changed my feelings,
I’m sure you feel the same way
In a relationship so devoid of love,
What’s there left to salvage?
my broken heart never healed,
you never reached for me
I spiralled so low,
and bounced back up,
All without your loving touch
nor tender care
as I lie here contemplating
the reason I was born
I do fantasize
of possibilities and different endings
but I too have grown up
and given up
if anything, all that matters now
is my peace, and maybe, yours too
adieu mother
here’s a toast to never being related again
ever.
