from my sky

from my sky
you pulled me down
now I’m your Angel in disguise

~ ♡ Blessing ♡ ~

~ ♡ ~
God has blessed many with
the gift of sight in this
path we call life,
a gift that we
take for
granted

~ ♡ ~
Along the way, I've been
blessed to meet the
special few who
truly have
vision

~ ♡ ~
I did not have the pleasure
to meet her in person
But I can feel her
gaze in all that
she's written

~ ♡ ~
There never goes a day
when her page
is unwritten

~ ♡ ~
As she waves her hand
and thoughtfully
sews her
words

~ ♡ ~
For I feel that she adds
a piece of her
golden
soul

~ ♡ ~
There is a kindness in her
that all can detect,
a trait that this
world sorely
lacks

~ ♡ ~
And for that, she will always
have my respect

~ ♡ ~
This one for you, Kim.
I thank you for sharing your pages,
yours dreams
and your dreams within your dreams

This one is long overdue and dedicated to Kim Johanna Baker,
an eloquent poet who bears her soul on
HelloPoetry.

I know it isn't much, but I'm wishing happiness, blessings
and love your way.
I will keep you in my prayers.

(For those who don't already, do look her up and follow her page.
You'll see what I mean!)

Be back soon,
Lyn x

One Day... Maybe

One Day... Maybe

I wish I could tell you all that goes on in my cerebral
Maybe you’ll get a glimpse of why I don’t trust most people
I have yet to meet a person who’s genuine and true
For they only stay around depending on what I can do...
for them as long as I am pleasing
A possibility of a future is what their constantly teasing
Whether it’s love, friendship, or even my career
It all ends the same with me alone with my tears
So now I know I can only count on myself
Maybe one day I will take my feelings off that dusty shelf
Where I tend to keep everything that I want to keep safe
From the world that comes at me like an emotional strafe

rough hands

rough hands

I was that
butterfly
you could have
caught with your
bare hands,
caress every part
of my wings
with your
rough fingers.
now I fly
thousands of
miles above you,
avoiding
your hands
forever

Is this art?

Is this art?

Anything can
look like a poem
and sound philosophical
simply by moving
the words on
different lines.

Am I doing it right?
Is this
really
talent?
Art?
Effort?

I think I am trying.
Really, I am
I go back and change the order
and I break lines
where it sounds right
But it does not take me long.
Not at all.

I try to be
intentional
and call it natural rhythm.
Instinct and style taking over
I alternate between
agonizing every detail
like When to Capitalize
and publishing free form poems without looking over them twice.

How is writing supposed to feel?
Should I labor?
or should it flow?
Or do I get to decide?

I think the things I talk of
mean something
at least.

But am I just
pretentious?

fooling myself into thinking that
using common poetry formats
somehow makes my work worthwhile?

Problems only We True Artists face.
