Darling Nov 2020
All alone I pray,
whispering into my clasped hands.
I mumble to myself,
and all I can do is hope someone's listening.
Warmth fills my body,
and I smile for I know that He's here.
Darling Nov 2020
The separation
of countries
across the world.

The difference
of ideas
and ideals.

The beauty
in architecture
and in the people.

The richness
of culture
and diversity.
Darling Nov 2020
Childlike in wonder and awe
I stare at the stars above.
Wondering what's out there,
Possibly staring back.

I make a wish as a star shoots by
Hoping that it’ll come true.
But clouds roll in and changes the view
To something I don’t recognize.
Darling Nov 2020
Oh little butterfly, learning to fly.
Seeing the world first hand.
Landing on flowers to take in the scent.
Floating by people to watch what they’re like.
Loving life as you see it.

Oh little butterfly, learning the truth.
Seeing life as it truly is.
Not being able to reach the flowers.
Flying away from people and their cruelty.
Disgusted by life as you see it.

Oh little butterfly, trying not to get hurt.
Moving away from giant hands,
Trying to capture you.
Dodging predators at night.
Realizing what life is really like.
Darling Nov 2020
Your words are hot
Like they’ve been festering in your mouth
Waiting to be spewed at me.
I feel the burn of hot spit on my skin
And my blood begins to boil.
I refrain from responding,
Even in the heat of the moment.
My downfall comes when I finally speak.
You drove me to this.
Your words burning in my brain.
I am the propane, and you light my fire.

Screeching tires on old pavement
Sick from the repetitive movement
Around and around and around again
Wanting them to hit the brakes
But they were having so much fun
Darling Apr 2020
Warm rays of the sun
Covering the land in gold
The perfect weather

Waves crashing on shore
Summer breeze kissing your skin
Feeling the warm sand

Miserable cold
Trees are frozen into place
Bone rattling wind

Sun showers rain down
Watering the budding plants
Sweet smell in the air

Leaves like a blanket
Covering the chilly ground
Closer to winter
