I need
Bittersweet, decadent
To inhale it’s scent, bite into the taste, let it melt my senses
My soul reaches out for the thing that it craves, the sweet dark richness,
To breathe, bite, taste,
Smooth and luscious,
Darkest of dark chocolate.

New Day
The earth is quiet as I wake
She holds all her songs upon her tongue
She’s waited through the long cold night
To watch the silent dawn.
A new day comes with gentle calm
No grand announcement marks her birth
But all below immersed in light
Baptized in the newness of a rising sun.
My soul in awe tiptoes before
The way the dawn makes all look strange
And fresh
and brilliant
and full of magic scattered through
the day.
My soul has been re- born again
Splashed clean in the earliest rays of day.
I’m glad I woke. I’m glad I paused.
To watch the silent dawn.
Hi.
Hello fellow marathoners! I’m just a girl who is obsessed with words and is a huge believer in the power that they hold. I have a weakness for reading aloud and tasting the words on my tongue. I love to sing, do yoga, and be spontaneous. Poetry is my passion.
I don’t think that poetry should have a clear meaning or explanation. I think you should work to find your own interpretation of all art but that if the art touches something inside of you, then it means something. I’m a little bit literal minded sometimes, but I’m also very poetic, and so here I am, going to work on the purely poetic side of things. I’m excited for this unique challenge and ready to see how much my writing and I grow from it.
Happy Poem Writing!
