Darkness emerging I’m lost no doubt

Twisting turning no way out

Falling quickly I know it’s near

Clenched fingers grasping tearing through air

I open my mouth my voice lost I can’t scream

I almost hit bottom

but awake from my dream.

BELIEVE – A Sonnet

Once upon my childhood, for God’s love there had to be fear

His comfort I sought only arms length to please

As I repeated Acts of Contrition on my knees

Through my grandmother’s glasses I could see her glare

I knew God was above and when we die so were we

Yet narrowness and rules spelled out misery, strife

In God’s name wars began such pain, ends of life

My religion got cloudy as I searched to be free

My heart so torn, there’s more I believe

This earth which we live on simply one of the few

With such little we know can we be so naive?

Too many galaxies and moons scattered deep in the blue

My quest for more knowledge too much too conceive

My religion I let go, but in God I believe

Till the day – A Sonnet

Lost in the heavens above

Soft twists of cotton candy swirls in pink

Pale blue ocean bed I sink, sink, sink

Closing my eyes I drift, nothing to think of

Glorious perfect sunset

Daydreams near night I reside among stars

One foot on earth the other on Mars

Chased by a blanket of darkness I fret

My place on earth a place I see well

I halfheartedly cast my soul back in

The stars they call yet I delay my farewell

This life I carved one of original sin

Many lessons to learn as I ache and rebel

Till my day is my last and I no longer dwell.

Sonnet

Day in the Sun

I dreamed you last night
your smile as bright as the sun
ocean waves crashed playfully along the ragged rocks
as you skipped and hopped along the oceans edge, carefree

I experienced you last night
as though time had not erased the absence of your light
your voice sang out in laughter as we ran down the flatrock
hand in hand as real as my hand in my own, you were there with me

I felt the peace from your spirit last night
a weathered message in a bottle that washed upon shore

not a second to late as heavens time does not count years or tears

As now you are here with me once more

Looking back all these years I spent seeking
for a place I could find my loved ones
I’m wondering now if all this time you were just waiting
to show me this carefree place in the sun.

Blessings from Mother Nature

by Katz in Poetry by Corrina Tags: blessings, mother nature, natures metophor, poetry

When my head had failed to sooth my heart

Common sense could not be found

Mother Nature hurled her cape of sustenance

In Her beauty, love tumbled around

When darkness from an impaired heart

Cast a spell my way with a leer

Love whispered “quick surround yourself”

A blanket of green earth appeared

When the thunder of my psyche clapped

Fleets of shame soon downward poured

Lighting strikes shook those within my breadth

No light came til the morn

Young spirits frolicked on my bed of green

Elapsed storm left a morning’s dew

Awakened with the sun’s bright rays of hope

A yellow bird settled on arms length bloom

Comfort of innocence and beauty enchanted me

In silence I submerge my thoughts in natures play

I whisper to my heart “it will be just fine”

For in Nature’s light and love, I am blessed today.

HAUNTED

Clutching the edges of the mirror I screamed in silence.
I see you, I know you are there! Show yourself.
Grief welled up inside as my swollen heart constricted; expelling ache in
one single tear that sped down my crimson cheek.

Stale cigarette smoke lingered in the hallway, yes
she was here all right! Her soft words murmured and echoed
off the walls as spiders hugged their cozy winter corners.
The air parted slightly and whispered, “I love you, and I’ll always be with you”.

I know she is here, I hear her in my own voice as I whimper
I love you mummy, mummy, mummy, as I always did sing out in her praise.
Remembering how she held back her last tears as did I on that day. Moments
that I curse as it was so unnatural full knowing there would be no more hugs and hellos.

The good bye was loud as it screamed in the absence of the tears that were forced
so very far back . With a lump in my throat I winced out that one last fake smile.
I turned away choking on my dry thick sorrow, trying as best I could to swallow the loss.
My throat was closing in; I couldn’t breathe out one last turn back over my shoulder.

My eyes glazed over as my heart filled with tears. I never thought I’d bear witness
to my first, my last and my final goodbye.

Kitty Love

I reach above my pillow to touch your warm fuzzy fur
Your legs stretch out an you curl closer with a groan
Never alone as long as I have you my friend

Reminiscent of you wherever I go my friend
Wisps of your calico colors scattered on my cloths. Oh your fur!
Entangled I stumble as you weave through my legs, I groan

No matter what life haunts me with, I tend to groan
For me I’m lucky as I have at least one friend
Unconditional love mixed with kitty litter and fur

I complain about the fur, I groan yet I don’t mean it. Loving you always, friend.

Autumns Dark

by Katz in Poetry by Corrina Tags: autumn, Corrina's poetry, fall, poetry, poetry by Corrina, seasons change, Tritina

Leaves swirled as autumns’ breath crystallized and taunted me to adjust my warm woolen coil
The trees outside scarily waving one or two yellow leafs now depleted of what once was green
I quivered as crystals shimmered down from above; new fallen snow glistened in the dark

The days so very brief, heavy low clouds reflect the early dark
Absence of sun I yearn for an end to each seasons coil
Begging the trees to renew and announce spring with a hint of virginal green

I long for those days when I could sit comforted on a bed of warm earthy green
Light fills my heart as I dream of the long days that shorten the dark
Yet reminded of the cold with the hum and warm air blowing from my furnace coil

I twist and coil under my green down filled blanket.Closing my eyes I welcome no light as I slip quietly into the dark.
