Because
of you
Inside the darkness
I found light
and the seeds
of my tomorrows
I stand
on the edge
of an abyss
no longer
fearing the drop
but anticipating
the flight
I step off
and take wing

Follow the pathway along my yesterdays. Take a left just past my shortcomings. Take no heed of these and continue. The path will then turn treacherous, dark and vast. At times you will see pitfalls, things hidden from view that may come to light later in your journey. Stay the course. If you persist, you will come to a valley that expands out to the horizon. This valley is filled with light and laughter, compassion, and wisdom. It seeks your light. This valley gives from its depths and expects the same from you. Followed precisely, these are the directions to my heart. From here you can see your tomorrow. And mine.

*Day 30 of NaPoWriMo! Finally! While most of the prompts on NaPoWriMo’s website were not of much help to me, I did find this one today that seemed to work for me. The prompt said to write a poem giving directions to someplace real or imagined. I’m glad that I participated. It got me back into my writing groove. Thank you for following along!
Materializing
from the deep darkness
of a hollowing
sadness
Insistent
and desperate
This lifeless
labyrinth
born of an
aching emptiness
and broken pieces
you left
behind
has not
stopped me
from
seeking the light

*I must give credit to Chuck at the Reluctant Poet for this reprisal. He saw a brighter version of what was once a very dark poem. Thank you for your help and encouragement, Chuck. ❤
You
cry a river
you lay
awake at night
you wonder
‘what if’
he was poison
but
but...
what if..
you plotted your
escape
and now
finally free
you long for him
crave him
miss him
you yearn for
the one person
you know
is your
demise
the years of
conditioning
are evident
remind yourself
you are strong
enough
you
are
enough

STILL A FOOL
By Penny Wilson And Charles Robert Lindholm
I Was A Fool
My Judgment Was Blurred
Thinking Us Soulmates
Was So Absurd
Drunk On Your Kisses
And Lost In Your Eyes
Longing For Love
I Believed All Your Lies
Craving Your Touch
And Sweet Ecstasy
In Love With Love
And The Fantasy
I Took A Gamble
I Rolled The Dice
I Did What I Did
I Paid The Price
I’m Still A Fool,
I’d Do It Again

*Chuck over at The Reluctant Poet agreed to be my ‘writing buddy’ for NaPoWriMo. It has been such a blessing to have someone in my corner cheering me on, someone to bounce ideas off of and someone to share the experience with! Chuck suggested a collaboration and this is something that we bounced back & forth between us, before giving birth to it. I hope you enjoyed it.
The red ink
spatters upon the page
like blood
The truth
should be seen
not hidden inside
like a cancer
There is no transcript
no evidence
no witnesses
The mental anguish
hidden from public view
Nothing tells the world
who you truly are
There is no one
to judge you
at least not
here on Earth
Let my words
speak
for those who cannot

*This was inspired by my writing buddy and Dear Friend, Chuck over
at The Reluctant Poet. Thank you Chuck, for your kindness, encouragement
and most of all for your friendship.

Loving You is the only thing I want to do, but how do I love You when I cannot see You, or touch You? Some say You do not exist, but I know they are wrong. Yet I long to love You so completely that there is not a moment that passes that I do […]
Loving You — Source of Inspiration
The stars
in the night sky
look down on me
I imagine yours
to be the brightest
a beacon
when I become lost
so I can
find my way
back
to myself

I tried to write you
away
as if giving life to
the ugly truth
would make you
disappear
a pointless
exercise
your evil
is the truth
I can do
nothing
to diminish it
what I can do
is to keep moving forward

She stepped down
from her pedestal
Until that moment
he saw her only as
one would envision
a supreme being
It was shocking to see
her shed her wings
to cast aside the virtuous
halo he had enslaved her with
He was dismayed
at how imprisoned
she had become
She was merely
human
after all

Psycho poetry from my Guts
Where a little insanity goes a long way
the reverberation of a hidden well...freed.
I write about Passion. Sex. Love. Pain. Darkness. All of it.
um...
Where I share my jewels of wisdom of life
