BECOMING CALM

Written by Deana and HastyWords   I lay in the middle Of a pile of fallen leaves Looking at a clear blue sky Dreaming of what could be   I find myself hopeful Despite what past experience Has taught me Do I dare believe it could be?   Spots of clouds float by Symbols of…

TAMING THE HEART

This is my second duet with TwinDaddy…aka Stuphblog and he has blown me away.  I have yet to find someone who hasn’t had poetry in their heart.  I love duets because poetry is like a puzzle of words just waiting to be solved.  TwinDaddy may have just found his true calling!  Check out his blog…

FINDING SOLITUDE

Sometimes the sunshine is hard to find metaphorically.  This girl is the sun in my life and I am so glad we found each other.  I love you Miss Jen! Written by Think.Speak.Tryst and HastyWords Sand feels like velvet Smooth & white underneath me Imprinting my body’s curves On the canvas of the Earth  …

SECRET SOLITUDE

Written by Think.Speak.Tryst and HastyWords   Coming and going Like the turquoise tides Beaches littered with hope for happiness I find myself wandering alone   The sun has been hiding For infinite days on end Clouds painting shadows on my mood Leaving me cold to the bone   Tired by the drawn out repetition Of…

One of my regular duet partners is always so easy to write with! Written by PassionWriting and HastyWords Sitting in a dark dead room I hear the echo of my heart Who sucked the life out of me Who killed the girl I once was?   I know the many answers There are different versions…

CLOAKED IN MYSTERY

Another wonderful duet with a really great blogger!!! Written by HowAnxious and HastyWords It’s hard for me to see Through the smoke What remains unseen Cloaked in mystery I don’t know where I am What needs to be done Where to go from here I am looking for answers They must be somewhere Somewhere out…

IT’S UP TO ME

It amazes me how we are all connected and part of the same human conditions.  Nearly everyone can relate with heartbreak or maybe it’s just my age.  I guess if you live long enough your life is all the richer if you let your heart bleed along the way.  This poetic duet was done with…

MOUNTAIN OF SORROWS

Written by Alex Hicks and HastyWords The rocks were sharp Bruising the soles of my feet The walk was long And the path was steep   I felt lost Abandoned hope As I tried to climb That rocky slope   On my own I struggle Ascending higher Looking for wisdom Pieces of knowledge to acquire…
