The Corona Escape

        As the entire state of California prepares to wind down after experiencing its first state-wide mandatory shut-down in an attempt to flatten the Covid-19 curve, one has to ask, why does this feel like we are living in a real-life infused sci-fi and horror movie? It’s because we are, we are literally living the words we have read in books and the movies we have seen on the big screen. The…

His Hands

I stir a pot filled with emotions I just can’t seem to describe Words boil between my reality and dreams Biting thru pressed lips Regrets of what was lost and truly never was bubbling at me- the desolation starts to haunt Turning off the flame I lay the spoon down I drift I envision the grass beneath my feet Facing all four corners of the wind The crispness of air- it taunts There is no outside…

Grateful

I am still adjusting to hitting the submit button last night on the school registration page. Maybe it’s the fear of the unknown. Maybe it’s the fear of going back to school at the age of 48. Maybe it’s the shock I signed up for the third attempt at finishing my degree. As I sit here trying to figure out how I feel, I do feel a sense of pride for getting to this moment. At the end of February, at…

Trump's America 

Trump’s America 

We See the deception of the false reality you’re trying to project and we will exercise our voices to object your unAmerican, racist and ignorant plans to destroy the lives of all human beings, animals, the climate, relationships with our allies, all for the sake of your egotistical God complex.  You cannot filter what we see and what we can say.

I trail the sun, Searching for the first glimpse of my moon, For love shines upon her edges, And her craters shadow me from the loss of light I once mistook for love.

Nobody's Fool

Nobody’s Fool

Nobody’s FoolAs painful as break-ups are, You have not lost at love, You have won, Love has defeated the untrue, Love has opened the doors and windows for the right love to come in, A love that is meant for you, Celebrate with your broken heart, For a fool has let you go, Your real king or queen awaits the gift of you.  -hope kenyon

Hope

It is with the strength of choosing the road less traveled that I, the lone wolf, have learned to turn my greatest fears into hope. -hope kenyon   #love #unity #peace #solidarity #poetry #writing #lovetrumphate #notmypresident #expression #freeverse #hopekenyon #infp #warrior #nodapl #globalwarming #voice #standtogether #standforsomething #hope #wolf #lonewolf

Courage 

It takes more courage to stand alone without fear, than to follow the pack without hope.  -hope kenyon  #love #unity #peace #solidarity #poetry #writing #lovetrumphate #notmypresident #expression #freeverse #hopekenyon #infp #warrior #nodapl #globalwarming #voice #standtogether #standforsomething

The Morning After

As I nervously watched the results unfold,I felt a part of me die, Astonished and deflated, Tears fell from my eyes, Anger and sadness stirred, I slept, Awakened numb, Fearful with newfound inner strength, From the ashes of defeat, A warrior was born, A protector, A vision of love, Together, all of us new warriors will rise and overcome, With our voice, We will be heard. As I nervously watched…

Dystopia Living in a false sense of reality, Surrounded by FAKE PEOPLE, FAKE NEWS, SOCIAL MEDIA VOYEURISM, DESTRUCTION, Disillusioned by truth, Playing second fiddle to my own life, I began to question where I am and I wonder, Am I living in a 21st Century Dystopia? -hope Kenyon

The Dance With Fate

There lies the dance with fate,I sway in the dust of memories purest hate,  Passionate anger, I cry, Buried bones within my flesh,  I rot, They hold me back from life, killing my soul, piece by piece, I have no choice but to let you all go, To banish you all in forgiveness so that I may live,  May these skeletons find wings to fly.  -hope kenyon

Love Story

The sound of his voice bewitchedher senses, Sweet red wine lingered as she tasted his words, Love traced the edges of her lips, She desired his kiss, She wanted to consume a love story.  -hope kenyon

The Tides of Passion The tides of passion have swept me out to sea consuming my heart whole, remnants of my love trail the ocean floor, never to see light again, for I fear sea monsters exist with an appetite to devour hope and I stand fearful once more of love. -hope kenyon
