Unworthy

She created her heaven
But let the devil in
Seeking punishment
For her little sin
After all
How can joy
Outweigh the hate
How can a woman
Singly create
Heaven on earth

Evolution

When the world finally ended
She learned to love
The peace of the silence
The emptiness above
The potential in everything
And the peace within
When the world ended
She was finally ready to begin

Colors

I once held a butterfly so hard
Until its colors bled on to mine

I promised then
That I’ll never
Hold on so tightly to anything again

To never force a change in my colors

To never let others’ fade

Plop

The frog enjoyed a warm shoe
Made a loud plop or two
Until she found warmth
And I
Late for school
Tried to play it cool
And not freak out
About a frog
Refusing to get out
Of my right shoe

…

Inspired by the word of the day prompt #plop and a true story.

We often took our shoes off at the door and frogs loved that and used it to their advantage!

What did you come up with?

PS this image is what the AI created using my poem and I think it’s funny and cute

I never rode a camel
Always prefered a car
Or a horse for an adventure
That’s not very far
The foreigners thought
I might better know
About camels than snow
But I knew little of both
Video games were my mode
Of exploration

Fate

She couldn’t remember
A choice
A long forgotten voice
A sound from deep within
A place to begin
Was it fate?
Was it a decision?
She couldn’t remember the beginning
That led her here
…
Do you remember your purpose?

Flower

If death comes for me

Would you blame me if I go along?

As she promises rest, on days so long

As she reaches out a helping hand

A loving smile

A cold embrace

For a while

Giving me pretty flower

Showing me a new way

If she comes for me

Would you blame me

If I don’t stay?

Before

He missed
Who she used to be
When sleep came easily
When the world had much less demand
When he was her only man
Before the son
They created together
Before she endured
The harshest weather
Before her body changed forever

She said
Yes
I miss her too

But my joy outweighs
The struggles I went through
And I love me more
Knowing the miracles I can do

Eve

She let love grow in her garden
Uninterrupted
She let the sun bathe the earth
As she gifted
Seeds as an ancient as time
Her story became a rhyme
No one could forget
Eve
Your apples bled
Life into us

Bittersweet

The sun decides to set
The birds stop the chirping
The town grows quiet
And the chimeys start singing
A bittersweet song
For a day that is ending
Here we lay in a warm bed
Our love story just beginning
