ShelleyAnne Stanworth Poems

Liberated when I wake up to what i know is a lie
That I create all around me, don't have to try
I am emptier than the vastness of the sky
Yet lost in the somber clouds around me I fly
...

Wrapped in a wishful whistling wind,
around me its frolicking in the air
Resonating the light of joy and glee,
flowing waves of bliss for all to share
...

When paper,
meets ink it highlights,
little things that don't matter
Often splits,
...

Oceans I have filled with tear I've cried
For a love I had and now been denied
I searched all the shores and their tide
For a secret cave to crawl into and hide
...

Dreading the winter as the days pass by
Wild like the raging storms I am the sky
The hammering rain and sleet express my cry
While thunder roars as me screaming why
...

I heaved my heavy heart through the wind and rain
Towards the familiar face family had to ease the pain
Constantly replaying the past haunts my fragile brain
Reaching the door, tears fall as I crack under the strain
...
