Midnight Deja-vu

~ Vanessa ~ Leave a comment

I don’t want to go back,
But I am unsure of forward;
Frustration meets me
In this state of being
Stuck;
Home is where the heart is,
Still, a place is needed,
To be,
For one to be lifted up
By land and
Held by space,
That which is affirming and accepting,
And welcomes you to its setting,
I am working on that for me,
For us,
After adversity jettisoned us
From where we had
Only meant to be temporarily,
Somehow, I had forgotten;
Midnight,
Deja-vu,
Online,
I am here
and now looking,
For a place,
the next move.

Cipher

I have not the slightest idea
What to write
Yet;
My fingers ache
For the outstretched movement of muscle,
To bring symbols to life,
With a scratch of graphite,
The flow of ink,
In key presses,
Or a screen swipe by impatient digits;
This mind is a cipher
of possible letter,
word combinations,
Awaiting the right alignment,
A key
–Inspiration,
To Communicate
Feeling and thought,
Forged in the furthest recesses
Of this artistically wired mind,
Bringing forth symbols,
Strung into messages,
All in an effort
to unlock,
and light up thine.

Drift Away (a reverse poem)

Original mixed media painted collage

Drift away,
You find you will
wake,
Let the sand ground you,
way out
let the waves rock you,
May the sun kiss you,
the moon your eyes,
The stars your lips

The stars your lips,
the moon your eyes,
May the sun kiss you,
let the waves rock you
way out,
Let the sand ground you,
Wake,
You find you will
Drift away
