Hush now…
When you place your fingertip on my lips
and utter those guttural words
I know that I am done for..
I cannot explain the where or the why,
I only know that it hits me,
through a small chink in my armour
Two words to buckle the knees
of a battle hardened soul.
One action to soothe
a riot of ferocity.
Just a mindless gesture for you
Yet to me – A destruction
of subconscious
Oblivious invader of my world
Welcome!
lovers Dancing
A Painfully slow
Death
As reapers hover
Sprinkling Cancerous
Spores
Undoing promises
That do not bode well
Alas
What it has become
Leaves you baffled
Confused
Shooting venomous
Words that sting
Apocalyptic Actions
That wound
Killing
What’s left
of a love bereft
Weakness
Is what he
Begets
Failure
To give you
Respect
Sum it all up
This love
Is dead
But
In that moment
The gossamer veil
Lifts
You have sight
Zombie reactions
No longer
Cripple your life
Lightning strikes
A thunderous bolt
You are no longer
Someone’s enough
Realizing
Were never enough
But
What a glorious feeling
When
You don’t give a fuck
Because
Loving yourself
Is more than enough
Angel Wings Poetry
Sometimes when I read a persons words of love,
I wish they were writing them to me.
That I could inspire them in that way.
I know the words aren’t for me,
And that makes me a little sad.
But it’s still beautiful to know,
That there are people out there that feel,
And see the world in such a way.
And it helps me,
To see it like that again.
Sometimes
I am blank walls
keeping secrets
no writing on them
for others to see
secrets all tucked in four corners
safe in the room of my heart
I can write on my walls
any day
any time
just for me
writing large or small
colorful or black and white
I need to read my secrets
every once in a while
to heal my heart
make me smile
make me remember
all my happy
that no one else
needs to know

Love Letters by Jacqueline Nash
Love letters
hidden years ago
Tied with a
red ribbon bow
Intense passion
spilled onto
each page
Secrets revealed
from another age
