Who really am I?
What makes
my blood flow
desires burn
passion spill
into the streets I walk?
*
One day
my courage opened
a forbidden door
the flame inside me
blazed
allowed at last
to burn
in ways it always yearned
fear ran away with the wind
confidence held my hand
and the real me
lived her life
and inked her pages
with the breaths
of her heart and soul
never regretting
one minute of it

Ph-Me
I am
the STORY
only some wish to read
I am
the PASSION
only some choose to feel
I am
the WOMAN
only some choose to love
I am
the POETRY
of what was hidden
for so long
ME
renewed
revived
reborn
and I care not
who reads, feels, or loves
because
I DO

(#OctPoWriMo loosely based on Day 14 theme If I Were Me. I am catching up! I do write poems every single day, but I don’t always feel they are worthy enough for WordPress. Thus, why I am playing catchup here. And yes, that is me in the picture 😊)
Living
between worlds
of Should
and Should Not
I say
Fuck it!
I’ll live
in my world
of Want To
and Do It

This poem was written for a writing prompt on Twitter and based on the title of my dear friend Entirety J. Roberts‘ first published book of poetry “Dear Poet- A Book of Uncommon Prayers.” It is a must read book of her heart and soul which helped lead me to this poem.
Dear Poet,
You captured me
extracted words
from marrow of my bones
sucked ink
from barely pumping veins
poured it all
onto a page
and blessed me
with the honor
of becoming one
with you

Her poetry
exposed parts of her
she didn’t realize
existed
didn’t understand
where they hid
all these years
and now
didn’t want to let go

I float
in a far away galaxy
filled with
lavender stars
and butterscotch moons
where butterfly happiness
and wings of warmth
wrap me
and whisper poetry
all of this
a world
called you
