STARFLOWER - Hello Poetry

Sitting alone in my chair only hearing the rhythm of my heart Life has been long, tiring & giving Born into a world with barely a breath to breathe What a gift what a beauty But life had a cruel plan in mind Hurt and pain was life's opening door Dark hallways ahead seemed cold and hard A beam of light to reach but the ache was meant to stay To block the sun and grey the day Hurt and pain were life’s own hand, Leading me to a wider land They weren't the wall, they were the key the very thing that set me free The world had to much to say too young to know the weight, At sixteen, life of beauty gifted me A tiny hand, a breath, a brand-new fate The world was loud but the sound of a tiny humming heart beat was louder then the storm I found a joy that didn’t need a name A kind of love that never needs a disguise I wasn’t lost; I’d simply found my way Some saw a struggle a path too steep Sunshine lights the new path for me & my daughter I had the greatest love in my arms mine alone Sitting alone in my chair only hearing the rhythm of my heart For my daughter—who turned the cold and hard hallways of my life into a path of sunshine. You were the gift I didn’t know I was waiting for, the tiny hand that led a life of beauty and happiness

For My Daughter: The Rhythm of My Heart

Sitting alone in my chair only hearing the rhythm of my heart Life has been long, tiring & giving Born into a world with barely a breath to breathe What a gift what a beauty But life had a cruel plan in mind Hurt and pain was life's opening door Dark hallways ahead seemed cold and hard A beam of light to reach but the ache was meant to stay To block the sun and grey the day Hurt and pain were life’s own hand, Leading me to a wider land They weren't the wall, they were the key the very thing that set me free The world had to much to say too young to know the weight, At sixteen, life of beauty gifted me A tiny hand, a breath, a brand-new fate The world was loud but the sound of a tiny humming heart beat was louder then the storm I found a joy that didn’t need a name A kind of love that never needs a disguise I wasn’t lost; I’d simply found my way Some saw a struggle a path too steep Sunshine lights the new path for me & my daughter I had the greatest love in my arms mine alone Sitting alone in my chair only hearing the rhythm of my heart For my daughter—who turned the cold and hard hallways of my life into a path of sunshine. You were the gift I didn’t know I was waiting for, the tiny hand that led a life of beauty and happiness

I crave communication but I want to stay quite I would love to spend time together but I want to be left alone I desire to be held but I want my skin untouched I need someone to care but I want to keep my wall up I look forward to helping but I want to hide in my home I enjoy smiling and laughing but I want to cry I rejoice in feeling alive but i want to feel numb I want this fog of darkness to end I want to get lost in my husband's touch I want to show my love without limits I want to feel the gentle breeze moving through my curls I want to sit and listen to all your words I want to feel like me again -Shelly Ramos

I cant wait to fall asleep to join the world of dreams I get to join the fairies as they dance in the meadows of the forever blooming flowers I get to run with the wolves through the forest and never ending unbound lands I get to jump up the mountains with the mountain sheep to admire the radiant full moon I get to fly high with the eagles to indulge soaking up the warmth of the sun I get to swim with sea turtles in the vast ocean waters looking for treasures once lost Oh how I can't wait to fall asleep to join the world of my dreams -Shelly Ramos

"I'll be a better friend this time"..... Was my beautiful life to much for you Like a snake you snuck behind my back Wearing the insidious mask of envy Always hiding behind your lies Like a plague you came back and killed me As if you haven't taken enough from me You've taken the last bit of my happiness The last bit of hope and trust i had in humanity You destroyed me You burned all the bridges in my life Why did you have to tread on my territory? Why couldn't you just stay in your lane? You open your mouth just to hear all your lies the lies that want to bury me alive What kind of friend are you? You're more like a demon in Disguise -Shelly Ramos

I can see myself in the mirror through those eyes Those are my red lips My brown hair and eyes I can hear the lyrics being sweetly sung As my body moved to the rhythm of the song The warmth on my skin from the sun She uses my body and lives my life She wears my clothes and my shoes She makes love to my husband She mothers my children oh so lovely She fits in so perfectly But, she isn't me Can someone hear my screams and cries Can someone notice that she isn't me Can someone rescue me from inside Can someone notice I have no control of my body I'm locked away in my mind I can't stand the sound of her voice Dont listen to her words she is an imposter I can hear her words over and over "I am Emily" But that isn't me I want out of this imprisonment I don't know this Emily I want my life back I don't know this Emily I want my husband and kids I don't know this Emily I can't stop hearing her torturing voice "I am Emily" I am not her, she isn't me I'm not Emily -Shelly Ramos

I want to slip into a deep sleep just for a moment To take a small break from all responsibilities To be able to hear my breathing To dream in my own fantasy Just 5 minutes for a deep sleep that is desperately needed

You are my safe place The shadows that hunt me You are my safe place The screams from pain You are my safe place The terrors in my sleep You are my safe place The voices that doubt me You are my safe place The blood from the past You are my safe place The forbidden hands on my skin You are my safe place The wicked tougues slander my name You are my safe place The victim from abuse You are my safe place The darkness that draws me in You are my safe place - Shelly Ramos

With in my heart lays a book A book of our unfinished story Our love story written within the stars But the winds never came to turn our pages We hid our love for others Never allowed ourselves our desires Only to lose you to another Unconnected bridge of unspoken words The author never wrote our ending I will not let go of our unfinished love story So wait for me in our next life We will write our love story amongst the stars As we turn our pages Losing ourselves in our love and passion Connecting our souls as destined Our unfinished love story has an ending -Shelly Ramos
