The moon taught me

there is beauty

in darkness too,

that even when

I don’t feel whole,

I am enough.

[alinafewilson]

i look at you,

and what i see may not be what others see but what i see is not what is outside but what is inside and what is inside is beautiful

i know you,

and i know your destiny is bright so you need to step into the light but what is keeping the door closed is your own hands pushing when you need to be pulling and all you do is fulfilling what you're meant to be, because there is more to you and i just don't believe in your dreams, i believe in you too

i jot down,

what it means to be with you and what is with you is something more than magical but i can not begin to recall all the lovely moments aside from the torment of when you are away because it would take more than a day to reach you so i grab a pen and begin to write but i know i will meet you when the timing is right

i look around,

in all the emptiness and i reminisce to when i would caress your luscious hair, to be fair you were always there, hiding behind the blinds waiting for me find, you! lurking in the shadows so perfectly masquerading as a minnow when you have been my only hero

a great start,

you have been the best part of my life journey and i need not to worry because i will take it slow as i am not hurry solemnly waiting for you and when you chose to come through

through the lens,

alinafe.

symphony of souls

you rise and fall within me:

a living, moving masterpiece

played expressivo to the world

with a litany of flats and sharps

that look complex at first glance,

against my natural flow.

.

so lento your tempo,

breathe and read

the notations on the page; 

it’s written there for all to see

in the way that you’re arranged.

.

you strike a chord within me

something major - you’re the key,

the arpeggio sitting within the scale

beginning the symphony.

.

you’re the accent at the end of the bar

that i hear and have to play,

.

so show me the dal segno for our soli;

though your form is nothing like me

you add a certain harmony to the melody of my soul

so pass me that cadenza

because da capo isn’t in the cards

unless this minor turns majorly dark

and we break into our parts

.

at the coda

.

let’s hold on to this fermata

con amore, più dolce, my love

for as long as we can last - 

tutti, legato

capriccioso

Up against the tree Once tended with care Now leans abandoned, forgotten or perhaps just left behind Seasons pass on yet the aroma lingers The unpicked fruit hangs A bird perches but quicky moves on The ladder holds a labour of love Up and down Till it ripens just Right Soak, Core, Peel Slice The heat from the stove Warms the aches and pains away Left behind as the fruit hangs, Up against the tree #orchards #applepicking #labouroflove #happythanksgiving #harvest #memories #naturephotographer #nikonphotographers #na_natures_art #nikonartist #poeticsouls #poetrycommunity #lifeisfleeting #lifeisajourney #lifeispoetry #haikupoetry #haiku https://www.instagram.com/p/B5Xe0-Oh7hI/?igshid=a5flb9qnimt8

I’ve never written a poem about you. But if I did, I would write about how you’d find healing if you forgive your parents. For not being what you needed, for not being present. I’d write about how your relationship with your dad left gaps in your life and he didn’t teach you how to be a gentleman. If I wrote a poem about you, I’d write about how you crave intimacy and push it away at the same time. I’d write that the greatest love begins with forgiveness. . . . #openmic #spokenwordpoet #poet . . . #poet #poetrycommunity #poeticjustice #igpoem #poeticsouls #creative #poema #poetry #armenianpoet #armenianwriter #writer #writinglife #poemaboutyou #narashpoetry #narineashnalikyan #greatestlove #forgiveness #loveyourself #loveothers #spokenword #spokenpoetry #speaker #inspiration #motivation #thursdaythoughts #🎤 #📝 (at The Den Cafe - Santa Ana) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1NkHWNgbBS/?igshid=f1davz13le7s

In Light by Michelle Carter-Douglass, Brian Douglass, Alessandro R. Douglass, and Patrick M. Douglass Available on Amazon.com I was imprisoned behind closed doors also inside my mind. In my imprisonment, I grew closer to my God and my Savior and Christ. Here I stand today as an Afro American queen. I love You, Almighty God! I love You, my Lord, Savior, and Christ! I dedicate this book to Almighty God and The King of all kings. My brothers and sisters, each journey will have its ups and downs. Nonetheless, allow your light to shine through. This written work in poetry is the sixth book in the "Behind Closed Doors" series. Healed of the pains from surviving bullying, domestic violence, stalking, and abuse ~ I share my healing with others. This journey is not about me. This journey is about helping other people and giving back to our communities across the world. Readers and friends, I invite you, through opened doors in the light. #emotionalhealth #emotionalwellbeing #emotionalhealing #poetryinmotion #poetry #poeticsouls #christianpoetry #christianbook #christians #christian #hope #hopeful #inspiration #inspirationalpoetry #inspirational #inspirationalquote #books #bookstagram #domesticviolencepoetry #domesticviolencesurvivor #domesticviolencesurvivors #survivor #strongblackwoman #strongwomen #singlemomstrong #singlemother #singlewomenaftergod #poetryreaders #avidreaders #avidreadersbookclub #mentalhealthbookclub https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx8pDw0Bw40/?igshid=4myh1ovhv9o

You will only appreciate the person when they are forever gone in your life. There is no remedy to remorse but you will have to die with it slowly. Regret derives from neglect.
