Ache
Naomi Hoppe Sep 2020
The ache to be found;
Attracted To dawn and
drawn in,
Enticed,
New and free.
No guards, no bounds.
Just you and me.
It pulled like a vortex to the centre
It drew air like a breathe
Looking to catch its own
What next could take my breath away?
Deep.
Forlorn future.
Cognizant and prescient.
Happy
Smiled
Felt genuinely
Feelings relaxed calm
Reciprocated.
Enlightened.
Interested in what was said
Love
So many things I couldn’t say
Yet you knew and said them anyway
It was poetic
Somethings to ponder and cherish
Seared into my mind
Songs
Oh I wish I could share the songs
And now you’re gone.

Therein lies:

The ache.

May I learn
Naomi Hoppe Mar 2021
Anger changes your emotion but doesn’t solve the issue.
Sadness can drain your eyes but doesn’t absorb the pain.
Fear can stop you in your tracks but won’t get you through the obstacle.

Love.
Love changes your response and can open up new paths.

Love keeps the memories and pours out into others because it knows what they need too,
Life may give us struggles but love helps us overcome and move.

Move
Naomi Hoppe Mar 2021
Yet here i stand, a miracle of movement
Naomi Hoppe Mar 2021
Try to fix the sadness
To feel the sadness to release the sadness and embrace the emotion that consumes in heaves and chesty cries, loss of tears,
even silence and body shakes.

Oh so tangible and raw and yet so elusive as it fades into the background covered by distraction until it comes to the surface to repeat the cycle again

Haze of the light
Naomi Hoppe Jul 2020
The light is on, but as it wanes and fades I find myself in darkness
Not scared; not afraid; just in it.
It clashes against my desire for light but it draws out my secrets
Those secrets I have tried to hide;
Yet they sit there visible, here in the dark.
They can cause fear but could it be because:
what is next?
Should I accept?
Should I decline ?
Do you tuck them away ?
Do you turn on the light?
