Lost in thoughts
my mind’s eye was clouded
till an intervention from heaven above
as you swooped in delight
gliding in flight
in shock and wonder , a beautiful white dove

I know somehow
in this very small moment
your flight on earth perhaps only for me
with your parted white wings and a silent hello
your light shone and you flew bold and free

In a just a moment
I was left but to wonder
white doves must be rare in the fall
I rubbed both of my eyes
I looked to the skies
you were gone I seen nothing at all

Perhaps a gesture from someone who’s watching
An answer to guide my hearts discontent
Just a dove from above, a message of love
As I witnessed firsthand, love heaven sent.

Phantoms Within

Their hold on me had long since loosened
Those nagging screams from past infliction’s
Loud floorboards crept; with such vindication
My mind’s eye shook with aggravation

Never truly lost nor gone
I peered through shards of my broken pane
I know I flinched as I remembered again
Reflections taunting my own disdain

I waited there I held my breath
Malignancy now pierced flooding out
Past pains would soon scream, dancing about
Shackled throat tightened I dared not shout

I watched in horror what could I do
Now gathering strength I pushed, pushed back
to this place I knew that love attracts
then sealed that door FAST…
not one thought could get past

Hoping this time
those memories never last.

In the beginning I ached for your love

As your words hummed notes of every love song

In sleep or wake you were all I think of

Till my heart did beat this love is life long

Young love comfort sought just a loving glance

Where many years before love, wept in grief

Now you curled sleeping, oh such true romance

Less you hog the blankets from me in sleep

To look back at the years Ill not regret

Nor wish my life has been not this same way

For the years of my want will not offset

The gift of years I now have in gold weight

As you and I bond our love holds so true

For not one day have I stopped loving you.

Awakened

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

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.

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.
