Poem – Skeleton Words

I usually never post before a poem or what not but this is honestly one of my favorites. I sat down with a notebook late over the weekend and it just happened.

Unspoken, no reflection

Cold silence

The skeleton words

Words we dare not say

That crumble and tear away

We struggle with them

They are packed and carried

Tucked away on our backs

Fiercely locked away

Throw away the skeleton key

Close the door

The words that remain in

Our heart

Just kept to ourselves

That we replay if it is to be seen

Never to be told

Never to be spoken

Poem – Quieted Heart

Alone,

She stands.

Waiting for nobody.

Waiting for the one to arrive,

For silence.

A quieted heart,

A sad soul.

She waits.

For one to never return,

To arrive.

The clock ticks,

Ticking each minute.

Each wasted breath,

moment.

To separate the ones,

Those who will never meet again.

Poem – The Lovely Violet

I see it in your face

The twinkle in your eyes

I have let you down

There is no surprise

Being what you fear

But who in the world

Would ever believe?

Or ever have the heart to admit

When they have deceived?

To tell

To say

The true thought

My Violet, you are right

With the strength you have fought

The future, you see, whenever you will go

You are best when you smile

It is that, I wish you would know

Letting go of you

Or the vision of what I saw

It makes this life, my Violet

Bittersweet in my call

You radiate and glow

Unfazed by your wrath

Let go of the lies, let it show

On your new path

Let it be kind in all that you do

Violet, it is too late

You were never listening

Were you ever you?
