Most of my inspiration is from sadness...When I write, I create a release..I have no intention of causing depression from my poetry, if anything I appreciate the ability to express it.

Postpartum

I wrote these two poems in December of last year......

" The end is the beginning "

Deprivation of love,
Callus emotion set in stone,
Words no longer had meaning,
Actions non existent.

My life was black and white,
Broken, disfigured heart of lies,
The truth hurt too much to admit,
After math separation arise.

I drink you in like my last glass of water,
Hurting within, fearing this ship will go under,
Open my eyes, prove to me light exists,
I can't let the darkness inside lose us in the mist.

"Feel alone"

It's cold inside,
Loneliness hasn't got the best of me yet...
The tears I cry, lack the saline I can't produce..

Ships have sailed and left me here,
Stranded on an island, survival on my side,
If I keep fighting, will this dream I wake ever exist?

Stranded in sunshine

Dust moving freely across a dry baron land,
A mirage in the distance, tricks revealed in the sand,

 Blinding rays of sunshine have drowned my skin,
 Like a cracking canvas, broken down from within.

Freedom surrounds me, yet bound to the ground,
All directions available, the distance never ends.....
In this life we cannot pretend, there is no time to extend...

No apologies, no rain checks, just a sad song that we cannot forget....

If I could, I would, If I knew right, I should....
If flames fell down from the sky, lit the world with lethal sunshine,
I'd forget why I was this way, pray to have you one more day...
