She Belonged In A World Unchained
Where she could lengthen her smile
She longed for a better happier world
A world where she felt she belonged,
One that consists of such magical love
That pure happiness was prolonged.
***
She wanted her own a special place
Where she could stretch her bones,
Singing in time with the moon’s music
Radiating the warmth of its tones.
***
A graceful bubble of bright rainbows
Deserving of her lengthened smile,
The wind whispering sweet nothings
Listening, determined to stay awhile.
***
Wishing to be forever in her dreams
She aches for a place to spread her hair,
Knowing she is one with the pristine light
A safe haven, protected, without a care.
***
She was born out of the sun’s fiery rays
Forever searching for a place unchained,
One where her arms could offer love
Without cutting, bruising, constant pain.
***
I told her she knew of such a glorious place
But first she must stop, listen and take note,
There are storms she needs to ride high
Whilst reading honestly, all her spirit wrote.
***
Remember sweet girl, stop the outpouring
You pour so much into the shallow hearts,
Losing yourself in hearts that have no room
Causing devastation, pain from the start.
***
Stop thinning yourself, leaving you empty
Find your sunbeams, practice being vast,
Rise and shine brightly in your warmth
You do not bring light to the moon to cast.

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
