Embracing Emotions

It’s ok to cry
Let all of those feelings out
We are all human
Let all the emotions flow
As you heal and grow anew.

Embracing the Present

Time is infinite
As the seconds all add up
Present becomes past
The past is forever gone
Minute moments mean much more.

Endless Moments

Special thanks to my collaborator, Anthony

Tankas with a friend
Endless fun that never ends
Words together mend.
Laughter echoes through the air,
Sharing dreams without a care.

Whispers of Winter

Special thanks to my collaborator, Anthony

I love winter’s lips
Cold but not nearly too cruel
Ice touches us all.
Whispers of snowflakes drift down,
Frosty breath upon my cheeks.

Fading Hope

Special thanks to my collaborator, Anthony
https://empathmuch.wordpress.com/



It’s absurdity
With both left to believe
Just fake rhetoric.
The truth begins to grieve now.
In shadows, hope starts to fade.

Awakening Veil


Grey-white misty veil
Touching all in moist contact
A morning dew’s kiss.
Sunbeams filter through the haze,
Awakening to greet day.

Poetry

Embracing the Present


Choice of happiness
Will ensure no conditions
For the achievement.
Let joy arise in each day.
Embrace the light within you.

The Silent Hunter


Hippopotamus
Lurking below the water
Waiting for something
Wading slowly through the stream.
He suddenly saw his prey.

Peace And Comfort

Seeking peace within,
A gentle touch, soothing balm,
Comfort found in love.
Comfort at being myself
Comfort without any fear…

Attract

Special thanks to my collaborator on this, Anthony
https://empathmuch.wordpress.com/


Drawn in by the pull,
Towards a force felt within,
Gravitate and meet.
Attraction is beautiful
From your head down to your feet…

Seismic Scariness

Unexpected jolt,
Abrupt change in direction,
Caught off guard, quick turn.
Everything falls around you
Find a safe place to shelter…

Cuddle to Infinity

Arms wrapped around tight,
Comfort found in close embrace,
Love shared in cuddles.
Time almost seems to slow down
As all troubles melt away…

Collab with Carol Anne

Special thanks to my collaborator on this Rengay, Carol Anne http://therapybits.com/

I was honored to be be able to collaborate with Carol Anne.

Snowflakes softly fall, 
Whispers of joy fill the air, 
Hearts warm by the fire.

Fires crackle and glow,
Laughter dances in the night,
Winter’s calm embrace.

Colours Blend

Special thanks to my collaborator on this Rengay, Anthony
https://empathmuch.wordpress.com/


Colors blend and meld,
Light and warmth suffuse the air,
In harmony found.
Primary colours do mesh
to form much more complex ones…

✨New Poem Forms✨

Special thanks to my collaborator on this Rengay, Anthony

Learning poem forms
It’s a challenge and it’s fun
Here I go again
These rules have me on the run
Count eight syllables or ten???
