I whisper softly 'hello'

Hoping to find refuge

In the sound of a voice,

Tucked away somewhere

In this ritualistic circle

Of idle chit chat

And small laughter,

But all I hear back

Is silence clawing out of me

Wrapping me in a greyish veil

As I scatter smiles and nods

Of 'Yes and no' s,

Growing further and further

Deeper within,

Wandering in the confines

Of my own thoughts.

Hello everyone🤗 It has been a while since I felt inspired and wrote something. What do you do in order to feel inspired? 🤔 I myself try to read as much as I can and listen to music to try and stay inspired. A stroll in a nearby park would do the trick as well but sadly I don't have any near me. I would like to hear your thoughts🍃 #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #love #couplelove #creative #creativewriting #spilledwords #spilledthoughts #spilledink #spilledpoetry https://www.instagram.com/p/CNpK-XjFCBR/?igshid=1g5pgm0f5jpfl

Kill me brother

Water your fields

With my blood;

Skin me sister

Clothe your body

With my hide

Carve me father

Kill your enemies

With my bones

Vilify me mother

Sing to your children

Of my existence,

Mourn me God

Mourn me..

How is it love that I can feel

The possibilities of dawn,

The excitement of high noon,

And the tranquillity of dusk

Followed by the love of midnight

When I am in your presence ?

I stand still,hunched back and stare at the beyound.My right hand slowly moves to write the words: Tired, sad, numb and full-stop on my skin hoping that my left hand would transform them into love, fulfillment, joy and most of all peace. However,I learn that I am not ambidextrous.

Let your mother tongue

Be a gentle smile

Or a hearty laugh

Let your name be

A hand outstretched

To give and to take

Your surname a soft

Comforting embrace

For those in need

And your belief

Love

Encompassing all

Including you

The Meltdown

I

am 

falling apart.

Legs rubbing together like an unhinged cricket

trying for a song.

Breath comes uneven, creating the illusion of life.

While inside,

breath is shallow and uneven.

I type 

because of trying to use my lips does no good.

to be heard in the empty night

when no one hears my shouts during the day.

Even if the masks does muffle me.

If the one behind it tries to smile with  eyes instead of parched lips.

Rubbing hands.

Try to get the blood flowing.

Coffee coloured eyes

Wake me from my dream,

Soft lips add

The needed sweetness,

And a tired yet sunshine filled

"Good morning"

Get me ready for the day ahead.

Recite poetry

Recite poetry to me love,

Let every rhyme you utter

Be a hymn and lead us

To hands intertwined and hips

Swaying left and right,

let every touch from your hands

Be an ode to my body and soothe

The aches of Father time,

And let every kiss from your lips

Be a sonnet and blossom

Into the passion that you hold

While our eyes close

And rest...

Caught up

in the pictures and posts

The tags and the notes,

How many likes and heart eyed faces.

We are losing the roots of ourselves

With each scroll, each swipe and pass

Who's more right, who's more left

Screened pages are refreshed

To see the latest

The greatest

The "best".

S.a

[mthoney]

I'm just happy that I have the time to write again. Have a great day all💫💫

I Try

I try to eat the food my mother made

Hoping that the bits of love and hope

Would fill in my cracked up skin

But the more I devour

The more I starve.

I try to breathe in slowly and deeply

Hoping that the freshness of the air

Would work its magic on me

But the more I try to breathe

The more I choke.

I try to listen to music that soothes

Hoping that the rise and fall of notes

Would carry me far away

But the more I try to listen

The more I numb.

I try to extend my hand towards stars

Hoping that their cold light

Would help me find a prayer

But the more I reach upwards

The more I sink…

Can A Poem Unite

empowering another

empowers this world

I lift you lift another

take me behind…

your eyes, your smiles, your life

we know nothing about each other

two people living disparate lives

the same seeds, yet different

contrasting, dissimilar, unalike

can a poem unite

us…

can words serve

as literary shoulders

can we come to learn

empathize, understand, grow

might we…

to life’s garden…

be each, any, every variety of rose

poets strategically planted

that all of us can thrive…
