Cradel poems on Hello Poetry

anne p murray Apr 2013

The white of me was a dream…
Drifting in and out of surreal reality
My heart and soul needing the same thing

Tired of the white porcelain mask I wear
With forced smiles masking real fears
Never letting my act slip

It left my face and soul emotionless with silent anger
A white, broken soul destroyed by numbness
Dying inside…incomplete and empty
My heart sinking and drowning in my own tears
Trying desperately to stay afloat…
Until someone reaches down and saves me
With time being my only cradle of hope

Reaching the Avery

I have dreamt you away now and gone into the sea where they tangle about my legs and drag me to the pressure bent bows of the night ship.
All at once you cradel my falling face, and dance into the air that eludes my lonesome laced dreaming.
I cant even cry, as crying in water cant even be so.

I trusted you

i gave you my heart
i trusted you with it
to not break it
i trusted you
to not smash it
i handed you my life
i asked you for one thing
not to break me
all i wanted in return
was your love
do you know what you did
you took my heart
and my life
you kept them warm
and you still cradel them
in your arms they sleep
i trusted you
and i still do
my love

— The End —
