National Poetry Day 2013

   Last Thursday, it was National Poetry Day and to celebrate, I wrote a poem based on this year's theme water.
   Check it out on Movellas too!: My Love From the Water

   My Love From the Water

The

water

gleamed as

I waded in waist-

deep, so cold; so inviting.

The sea, full of mystery, as the

waves pull my feet from its safe bed.

I wash in its  tranquility; wash away all

the pain I’d  been fighting.  The shock of

my head under, I will go where I’m being led.

But then you took the stones from my pockets

and taught me how to float. You were the changing

tide in my life, a breath of sea air to my chest. You took

my body,  empty along the current,  aboard your  boat;

Showing me there is still something in this world that’s

pure and so blessed. The water I had once seen as an

escape was now my saviour, your home. I followed your

rushing river as you chase freedom, wrestling the

flow. We dance in moonlight fractured under the

surface, rampant as we roam; Untouched by

reality’s rain and storms as

I bathe in your glow.

I feel so alive since you brought me back when I was close to the end;

You saved me with a soul so beautiful only angels could send.

My love from the water.

Poem ~ 'I'm Fine'

I'm Fine

A poem helps you let your true words and troubles escape and fly away.

I'm Fine ~ White Ravens:

“I’m fine.”

I stand in front of the mirror each day

“I’m fine.”

I must practise to keep my demons at bay

“I’m fine.”

I pick at the faults as tears threaten to race

“I’m fine.”

I pick at the wounds upon the line on my face

“I’m fine.”

My insides are eternally entwined in the fire

“I’m fine.”

The fire with flames that lick higher and higher

“I’m fine.”

They always burn the edges of that curved line

“I’m fine.”

But my true words remain silenced as they are mine

“I’m fine.”

One day, if I carry on rehearsing and reflect

“I’m fine.”

One day, if I carry on, I’ll eventually get it perfect

“I’m fine.”
