Through Verse Once Saved (poem)
I feel very grateful that I can share my work in this, my own little corner of cyberspace. Like the pictures below, this piece is a pretty candid representation of me–as well as a different approach to my poetry.
Through Verse Once Saved
Feeling self-conscious /About my work /Speaking honestly /Rejection hurts
A prompting to say /Don’t care anymore /But I’m not that way /As if I could stop /Writing’s my world /Waiting to unfurl /Spring thaws this rock unearthed /Cold condensed to a dripping mirth
My words /Long ago offered a second chance /Choice to take /Torn away an inside fake /For which I am now able /Freeing a soul /No longer incapable /Banished personal hell: unknown / So long unstable /Goodbye to what’s already done
Mired in doubt /Drowned in memory wading /A way /Found invention /Atlantic Ocean called me home /I was alone /Echoing drone /A pen and pad my scepter and throne
Wasn’t till writing /Helped me out of a mind-made ditch /As if old waters cleansed /Making new friends /Washed away turbulent amends / Swept by change /Drawn like a tide waving away in refrain
To begin again
