wretchedness
Crystal Freda Apr 2019
a window
that her eyes grew to know.
cloudy skies and cloudy visions
blistered like snow.

thoughts
dark and forlom.
her broken esprit
grew tired and worn.

time
spent in misery.
she ached for repose,
but her head growing wintry.

A pleasing spring
Crystal Freda Apr 2018
She laid her head against a tree.
Pink petals blossomed and fell on her head.
It tickled her nose as she smelled the scarlet
and the flowers around her bloomed and spread.

Her pale blue eyes shimmered from the sun
while her body was covered by the tree's shade.
She scooped up a rosy flower gently in her hand
and tucked it in her messy braid.

Spring had arrived with all its blossoms
and she sniffed the soft aroma of this season.
She loved the colors and all the sunshine
which was all so very pleasing.

Sail away with me
Crystal Freda Feb 2018
Sail away with me
away to the distant sea.
Sail away
to the tunnels of the bay.

Sail away with me
to the ocean deep.
Let the waves flow
to the islands we go.

Sail away with me
and let your hair go free.
Sail away and on
until the world is gone.

Do what's possible
Crystal Freda May 2020
Say what you need to say.
Write what you need to write.
Pray what you need to pray.
Fight even when you can't fight.

Live when you're scared of living.
Love where you need to love.
Give when you need to be giving.
Hope when it's not enough.

Sing every beautiful song.
Dance with every beat.
Let your body move along,
Do all you can, and repeat.

Sunset Watchers.
Crystal Freda Sep 2017
Walking along the beach
feeling such an amazing breeze.
My hand takes an outreach
and hangs on to yours.
We look at each other close
and turn around watch the sun
lowering as it goes.
Such a magical moment with you
watching the sunset bloom.
Pink and orange hits the sky so blue
and now a gorgeous night will come.

Every time I think
Crystal Freda Mar 2019
Every night
you come to my mind.
I think of us together,
but that makes me sigh.

I think of our memories.
Every one is special to me.
I don't want to let go,
but I might have to set you free.

We had our good moments,
but those have come to an end.
We fight more like enemies
than lovers and friends.

I really do love you,
but you don't feel the same.
Now here I am
thinking of your name.

Spring (Acrostic)
Crystal Freda Apr 2022
S​​​​​​weet sounds of birds singing

P​​​​​​ungent perfumes of delightful daisies

R​​​​​​ows of grounded, green grasses

I​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​mmensely beautiful, bold butterflies

N​​​​​​ests nurtured in blooming trees

G​​​​​​lowing sunlight shining all with ease

Spring scenery
Crystal Freda Apr 2022
Teal waters awakened the
seas,
refreshing the buds, and polished the
breeze.
Paradise petals softened
the massed, mauve
mist.
Hazel hues glimmered
gold brushing the taupe
tips.
Morning, glowing dew dusted
the flower's arroyo
seeds.
Spring's scenery whispering
jewel gardens bursting bonny
beads.

a deep hole
Crystal Freda Feb 2019
she embraced the ground
shoveling and shoveling.
a deeper hole it grew
tunneling and tunneling...

she dug a hole for years
for what she thought was right,
but it left her confused
in a cold, shivering fright...

alone in her thoughts
she has no one to talk to,
trapped in a giant hole
not knowing what to do.

she could try to keep shoveling
until she found the light
or she could turn around
to what she left behind...

Strong enough
Crystal Freda Feb 2019
I'm strong
but not strong enough
they tell me.

Some battles
in my life
are not worth fighting.

I try to not be angry,
but try not to
keep it inside.

I'm not scared
and I'm not
trying to hide.

I may be broken,
but I'm not shattering
my pieces on you.

I'm strong enough
to live my life
and that's what I'll do.

At the Ocean.

Slow currents.

Salty breeze.

Soaring seagulls.
Wondrous blue.
Crystal clear sounds.
Limitless view.

Endless waves of love...
Crystal Freda Dec 2018
She studies the ivory glare
in the spark of his eyes.
The sound of laughter
overlaps as time flies.

Salty, brisk waves
tickled their feet as they stroll.
The aroma of salty air occupy them
with a sight of a soaring seagull.

She smiles brightly at him
with the sun glaring up high.
Her majorelle eyes match
the waves of the sea and of the sky.

The sun shines on them
in a majestic and beautiful way.
Glowing on the brightness
of their golden, happy day

They look at each other
as the tide crashes at their feet.
A wonderful day at the beach
with their love just ever so sweet.

Seashell ( Acrostic)
Crystal Freda Oct 2017
Splashing color all around.
Each wave 's crashing sound.
Around the dusty sand
Swirls of shells on the land.
Hurdles of colorful coral
Every tint so floral.
Loveliness on the shore.
Looking for more.

Forgiven
Crystal Freda May 2020
A tepid tear thronged tidily
down her crimson colored cheek.
A promising past plunged down
to a future profoundly bleak.

Heated hands held together
sweating stressful strain of its own.
Whipping words withered from her mouth
to her marvelous Master,"I'm tired of being alone."

Calmly cupping her clinched chin,
He swept back the stinging sobs off her flushed face.
He smiled suavely with tender truth
as she entered into a reassuring place.

He sat her beside on His tall throne
telling her what was willingly written.
He held her hurting head and said
"Everything you've ever done is forgiven."

Idle waves
Crystal Freda Nov 2018
On one summer day,
she relaxed by the waves.
In this peace she'd stay
for the sun she craves.

The salty, misty air
dwindled drops from the sea.
It gave a spume to her hair,
but on her skin it would flee.

She meditated on the surges
with her pale feet in the sand.
Each wave comes and emerges
onto the dense and dry land.

The wind just a blowing,
and the sky was ever so blue.
The waves were just a going,
and this is what she would do.

Paving streams
Crystal Freda Jan 2019
She lays on a canoe
whirling gently on the stream.
Her red dress shimmers
as the sun gives a great beam.

She smiles at the sky
with its radiant blue,
and porcelain clouds
and air fresh and new.

She enjoys the sounds
of the bustling, rippling waves.
Towards to a land
and the path it paves.

Beyond the bridge
Crystal Freda Apr 2019
Every step you take
takes you to your next destination.
Some roads may be straight or curved
or some sort of alternation.

You will come across many bridges.
Some up high and some on the ground.
Some will navigate you to beautiful sights
and some will have scary, creaky sounds.

Bridges enlighten you on a new paths.
You don't know where that will be.
Each bridge will tell you something.
You just have to step forth and see...

Stay and be free.

A million
Crystal Freda Jun 2019
I could have wallowed up a million
reasons for us to stay.
I could have given up a million
things, but it wasn't this way.

Instead my heart took a million
whips and cracked apart.
One lash of beating bruises
crinkled down to a million shards.

I could have said a million
I love you's, it wouldn't have changed.
I could give have kissed you a million
times, but my soul  still estranged.

Action could not be restored,
my brokenness has no pace.
Beaten bruises remain a million times
nothing bounces in place.

Anything made
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
Anything can
Be made or
Created for
Delight for
Everything that
Fascinates us.
Good things can
Hold us
In our minds and
Jumps and
Kicks in our hearts.
Love can
March us into
New
Opportunities and
Part us
Quickly away from
Roads that
Subtract us from
The path.
Unraveling a
Victorious time to the
Way that
Xylographs
Your life in a
Zap.

the reading bench
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
leaning against her bench,
purple petals blossomed
and the sun shined brightly
and the grass was cut nicely

well cut bushes carried
these lovely blossoms
just so swimmingly
and the petals flew so freely

she read for a few hours
listening to the moving wind,
now the sun lowered gently
and she finished and signed sweetly

rancid ruby
Crystal Freda Dec 2019
burgundy braids braced
the back of her brass bed.
Raving ruby ringlets
ravaged royalty on her head.

autumn's aquired art
ablazed ambers of auburn.
crimison curls caressed
as carmine chromes churn.

vivifying vistas vibrate
vibrance with verbalized twirls.
Remembering rumbles of rage
rouged in her rancid curls.

Alone and unafraid
Crystal Freda Nov 2018
I stand alone on the rock
restless from my long walk.

A journey I've taken for awhile
with pain aching at every mile.

I have finally made it to the place,
but I am alone in this race.

I have lost so many in this journey
and sadly it hurts me.

I have only had God who never left
and He knew what was best.

Now I stand on this rock just God and me,
and maybe that's where I need to be.

the azure sky
and mantis grasses.
mountains so gray,

Redeemed
Crystal Freda Jan 2019
All the trials she has faced,
every obstacle in her way
can never compare to the grace
God has flowered in her day.

She lived many days frowning
but now she can rejoice.
No more crying or drowning.
Just a sweet song in her voice.

She gave Him her everything
which strengthened her to grow.
She found her everlasting King
and she will never let go.

Be fresh.
Be new

Water front view
Crystal Freda Jan 2019
The beautiful flow
of rushing droplets
racing to the stream.

The sun glimmers so bright
onto the this lovely thing
with it's radiant beam.

Water so fresh
and so fine
that of its grayish blue.

A sight so breathtaking
as it shimmers on every eye
taking in the water front view.

The gold ball
Crystal Freda Jan 2018

Wonder of Imagination.
Crystal Freda Aug 2017
She sits quietly under a grayish, pine tree.
Her brown hair blows along with the wind.
She reads her book with meaningful glee.
Reading until the end.

She imagines of being a story girl.
Seeing exotic, new places.
Traveling around the world.
with all different spaces.

Fighting in battles
and being rescued.
As each page unravels.
This adventure is to be continued.

She suddenly awakens
as her book is now finished.
She takes a book to break in.
Another adventure for a new image.
Another one of my favs.

[ When I'm with you ]
Crystal Freda Aug 2017
When I'm with you
times fades away.
When I'm with you
I enjoy the day.

When I'm with you
our love is thick.
When I'm with you
good-bye comes too quick.

When I'm with you
I never want it to end.
When I'm with you
I love the time we spend.
Crystal Freda May 2018
Passionate about the Lord.
She asked of Him for more.
A passion so daunting.
More of a need
not a wanting.

She prayed every night
for her lucent light.
Shining like a vivid gloss,
thanking Him so promptly
for carrying such a heavy cross.

She testified her beauty in a pure way,
appreciating God's beauty every day.
She knows God can beautify,
She knows He is beautiful,
then so am I.

Smiling snow
Crystal Freda Jun 2019
Glimmered warmth
congealed on the wintry rice.
A sumptous surprise
melting apart the frosty ice.

Twilit timbers
radiated rays of sunny soils.
Rooftop thunders
swirling and softening snowy oils.

Phthalo pastures
engendered the energy of dawn.
Spring's riant arrival
among winter's mix forgone

One snip broke the vine

Voluminous v I n e s
producing the sweetest f r u I t s.
Growing with positivity and l o v e
all the way down to the r o o t s.

One snip was all it t o o k
to break the vines a p a r t.
Dead and extremely d a m a g e d
spraying black ink around the h e a r t.

Strangled in b r o k e n e s s
as lonely scissors cut the l i n e.
Growing the sweetest f r u I t s
and one snip just broke the v I n e.

Between night and day.
Crystal Freda Sep 2017
She awakes
as the dawn nearly awakens
Rising above the river banks
the moon is slowly disappearing.

She walks on the pasture
watching the lake ripple
as the wind brushes against her
she looks to the sky.

A blue light sky
a color between dark and light
shines where the flowers lie
turned to periwinkle dandelions.

Her hand picks up the tips
as her breath touches the top.
Nearly brushing her lips
watching where the petals go.

The Day is beautiful and bright.

The Sun is lowering.
The sky is greatly full of color.

A glorious night will now appear.
The Sun is Gone.
Until morning, the sun will be here.

Along the lake,

Along the lake
she splashes
and enjoys the
memories she'll make.

[ a world beyond her eyes ]
Crystal Freda Apr 2018
a world beyond her eyes
full of adventure and surprise.
one swing after another swing,
nothing knowing what it may bring.

over the horizon near the sun
placing light so fair and so young.
her bare feet in the breezy midair
not a feeling of fear, not even a care.

buildings so sturdy and tall
could not touch an inch of her at all.
she looked out to her dreams and hopes
knowing God was holding the ropes.

Denied

All I seem to get

when I thought

Every time I try,

Subalpine Symphony
Crystal Freda Jun 2019
God is my lifesong, my lovesong,
every song I have sung.
He is the oppressive orchestra
strumming life through my lungs.

He broadened my voice
to praise Him across the biosphere
up to the uppermost obstacles,
but a whisper beckons Him near.

He'll elevate my voice
caroling to His sweet symphony.
I'll proceed,overcome, and overflow
in the puissant Psalms He put in me
