She breathes sunlight 17 February 2023
She sees through ugly Her eye torn into darkness Her gait leftover fancy Of a lifetime of duress She prays to the Gods Her hands temple of fervours Her mind beating the odds Through failing faith that hovers She adjusts composure Her mouth a tomb of secrets Her heart seeks closure Her chest a book of regrets She breathes sunlight Her nose a cathedral Her shoulders set into fight Tomorrow a sight feral Reading of the poem:
Eternity ~ Lisa Gerard
I have a will to survive 29 October 2022
I had a will to survive My hands rising in rebellion I knew that I was alive For my heart beat in unison The will in me was so weak No one can bear witness to this My tongue cuts me as I speak The blood of my blood wore such bliss In vain the pursuit of sense The pupil my pupil dilates View of my rivers so dense Leading mind that flood celebrates I have a will to survive The teacher brands me a lesson Into the essence I dive Like angels falling from Heaven Reading of the poem:
Solitude – Billie Holiday
As grows stronger my rising fist 23 March 2022
Will I find that special sound of sweet sighing redemption? I feel it through the winds unwound like a flag without a nation I hear yonder muffled cries I wander beyond their borders in the weaving of truth and lies heaves the rhythm of disorders Blue and pink and a pint of glue The glowing glee of a life to come What is deceit and what is true of meagre talk the total sum Whisper without me an ear to fill What comes forth a tongue to twist Through landscapes I seek to still As grows stronger my rising fist Reading of the poem:

A way to be
17 December 2015
Look upon your inner light
Letting go more than the fight
Healing angels wing their way
So give in to love and play
And if you trust yourself enough
You’ll find life’s not so tough
On the road to agony
In memories’ key
You’ll found the way to ecstasy
A way to be
The road may seem so tiresome
I know you feel so lonesome
You think this road just glass and shards
You feel the pieces your soul discards
But if you trust yourself enough
You’ll find life’s not so tough
On the road to agony
In memories’ key
You’ll found the way to ecstasy
A way to be
When you think that light has gone
Know you’re not out there alone
Feel the angels walk beside
All throughout the rocky ride
And if you trust yourself enough
You’ll find life’s not so tough
On the road to agony
In memories’ key
You’ll found the way to ecstasy
A way to be
I believe in you and me
We are more than what we see
I believe in our strong heart
May its courage never depart
And if we trust ourselves enough
We’ll find life’s not so tough
On the road to agony
In memories’ key
We’ll find the way to ecstasy
A way to be
And if we trust ourselves enough
We’ll find life’s not so tough
On the road to agony
In memories’ key
We found the way to ecstasy
A way to be
I have not included a YouTube song yet because I am making this poem a song which I will include once I have sung it and in fact it started out like a song in my head before I wrote it as a free verse poem. Bear with me because I am not a singer but would really like to get this melody and the lyrics out there because it made me feel good so I thought it might help others feel good too
This was recorded as a memo on my phone because my usual camcorder was not working. Be kind and constructive with your criticism 😀
