Depleted
Sometimes I feel
like a husk
of my former self
all sharp edges
and intricate bones
with no substance
left
to hold everything
together
and like
a mere breath
could crumble
what’s left of me
into dust
Anchored
Hold me tight
and don’t let go
as stormy seas
crash through
and chaos reigns
for only you
provide safety
in the storm
and shelter
from the chaos
that’s sure
to otherwise
rip me apart
Serenade
Let me
sing to you
of my love
from the
rooftops
of skyscrapers
as you listen
to my heart
laid bare
while my soul
breaks into
a song
that is yours
and yours alone
Uninspired
Even in a
field
filled with
nothing
but shorn grass
if you look
just a little
closer
you can find
pops of spring
smiling up
from the green
Awakening
A spark
renewed
kindles to life
deep within
the soul
sheltered
and glowing
bright
as inspiration
strikes
with eager
enthusiasm
and potential
stirs beneath
fertile soil
Wary
Dive in
they say
but the water
is cold
and only
welcoming
from the shore
where it glitters
crystaline
and blue
a promise
that is a lie
waiting
to pull you
down deep
into the depths
below
Twisting the Leaf
