Mercy

Winter is brutal and fierce

not shy or timid

squeezes the air from your lungs

even the sun turns coward

hiding behind the pallid sky

Cover image for post Goodbye, by MarieC

Goodbye

leaning rose

wilted heart

letting go

Cover image for post Here I sit, by MarieC

Here I sit

crisp of Autumn

caress my soul

with your whisper

Click

Memories captured

frozen in time

end of Love

Cover image for post Cleanse, by MarieC

Cleanse

I'm anxious to shower.

Excited that this filth that weighs me down will soon be washed away

On my lips, lies that rolled off with ease.

On my hands, those I've pushed away.

Now if I could only cleanse the thoughts that led me astray.

Mom

Labor hours

My life begins

I miss you

PROPERTIES OF FEAR

Frigid touch

shadows cry

empty hallways

Cover image for post Stop signs, by MarieC

Stop signs

A journey through his thoughts

Stop signs prevent

Entry into his heart

Maybe

Maybe it's a beam of sunlight

Maybe it's the glare of the Moon

Maybe it's my thoughts racing

always a little too soon.

I know I can hit that dam ball if I try really hard

or maybe I can hit it, without even trying at all.

Mari at the bat

Another swirl, I grasp this bat

Maybe this time I'll hit the ball

catch me if I fall

If, I fall.
