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

#NaPoWriMo-Day 15-Memories and Wishes
I keep my memories
and wishes
tucked inside a box The vessel unimportant Its what’s inside the box that calls to me Inside I hear the beating of your heart smell your skin and taste your lips you
now on wingtips
left behind memories
nestled beside wishes Copyright © 2021 Penny Wilson
#NaPoWriMo Day 6-Empty Spaces
those places in my heart the empty spaces I look beyond the clutter of today sifting yesterday's dreams those never quite formed looking to make solid what was but mist Copyright (C) 2021 Penny Wilson

Telling My Secrets to the Stars

I awoke
with a start.
The taste
of your kiss
still lingering
on my lips.
For answers
I look
to the night sky,
telling my secrets
to the stars.
The man in the moon
listens
but offers
no guidance.

To Break the Fall
I've got love songs on repeat and write love letters in the dark I search the shadows for your light with my chest hollow None of my usual tricks work I'll do anything to stop this decline Anything to break the fall Copyright (C) 2021 Penny Wilson Photo found on Pixabay
Dreaming
Upon waking, I cling to the dream of lying in your arms Just a yearning Tonight, perhaps I'll dream of you again Copyright (C) 2021 Penny Wilson
Back Then
Yesterday's ink gives a view into my thoughts of you back then Back then I knew what love was or thought I did Back then, tomorrow seemed such a long way off Today's view has been tarnished by the soot on the panes of glass Smoke from the fire that once burned in my heart For you Back then Copyright (2021) Penny Wilson
Puzzle Pieces
My puzzle pieces I've carefully numbered them Each a part of me I see them cast aside carelessly heartlessly Fitting them together in your absence inconceivable. Copyright © 2020 Penny Wilson *I would like to thank my Dear Friend, Chuck over at The Reluctant Poet, for his inspiration of this piece. Thank you, Chuck, for your help, encouragement and friendship! ❤
A Chance
The goodbyes
outnumber
the promises made
before
tomorrow was a kiss
an assurance
from the heart
decisions made
and dreams
forgotten
for the chance
to fly
beneath your wings
