soft
Some days I am swimming,
most days I am sinking.
There is never a day where I
can simply just float.

Pain
 Feb 2023 Secret Poet
Niki Gray
Pain is better than numbness,
because at least I can feel
my life not just move through it.
Thank you for taking the time to read my poetry.  Also a thank you to all my family and friends that remind me to be the best me I can be.  Thank you Sheela, Courtney, Christian, Favour, my daughter Sydney and my son James.  Also, a big thank you to my husband Jim.

You reached for the stars
and put them in my eyes

I keep them locked
behind my eyelids


fearful

that you´ll change
your mind
Gives me company,
When I have nowhere to go,
Or no-one to talk to.

I get lost in your kiss
                   Yet feel at home on your **lips
Waves painted the hull teal
the Sun colored in my skin,
while wind brushed strokes against my cheek

Water, tinged with foam and salt,
splashed my face
I woke up;
there were tears on the pillow
dreams
The blood splatter dripped and pooled at the floor
       Even time slipped amidst all the gore
