Diaries and tiny keys

Opened doors

To thoughts unspoken

Indigo blurred

By rainy blue eyes

My full heart emptied

To fill blank pages

             

Lyrics and chords

Strumming tales

Of the deep and the dark

Words and voice

United in song

My full heart aching

To fill open spaces


Pain and torment

Tapping keys

In a candle lit corner

Creative crescendo

Boundless and beautiful

My healing heart open

To infinite places

  1. poetry is a place of healing…of exploration of those feelings in a ‘safe’ enviroment…and a place of connection as well…where we can relate to others feelings as well…

  2. Indeed, poetry can be the place where mending begins, keeping it tucked, locked away until we can take stock of where our emotions take us. I loved how your poem showed the evolution from journaling with ink and paper to now, as we share our thoughts almost instantly via the internet.

    • Thank you Oliana! When I look back I have always had the urge to write, but I have never had the creative flow that I am experiencing now. The more lessons we learn in life, the more joy, heartaches, realizations, etc., the more we have to write about.
      Thanks for commenting. 🙂

  5. being open to infinite places…I think that is where poetry comes from. I can relate to the healing, cathartic feelings that poetry helps us find.

  6. Nothing like a broken heart and a confused mind to wash out emotions and stir the creative juice. Beautifully rendered poem here of your beginnings and your growth. Thanks so much for opening up and sharing this beautiful piece.

  8. This is so poignant and emotive.The repetition of the last two lines in each stanza works so well. And, as others have said, poetry often springs from a place of pain. I enjoyed!
