Happy Easter

Waiting on Tuesday

What wonders exist

What promises made

What comes from the mist

What exists on display

Sometimes we wait

We pause

We worry about life

With no cause

Sometimes we dream 

Of what can be

We pace ourselves

Refuse to be Free

Sometimes we let the world

Make the call

Stifle our choices

Cause us to fall

We draw the boxes

We limit our choices

We freeze our hopes

We still our voices

Wait.. Wait.. Wait..

This is not the right time

Be patient, no longer

This time is Mine!

No longer will I wait

No containing my dreams

No longer will I wait

I celebrate Tuesdays it seems

Rejoice in the everyday

Seek for the light

Honor my dreams

Make my life bright

I no longer recognize

Your right to proclaim

What life consists of

How you tend to defame.

No, for me, for now

There is Tuesday to rejoice

Today I choose

To take back my Voice!

The Senses

Do you hear

The whisper of the moon?

The silent lady

In constant swoon

Do you feel her

gentle call

to those who once

lost it all

Do you see 

Her Silent Plea

To the lost 

To me?

She calls to those

who are broken

Who stand alone

Forsaken

Can you Taste

Her need

To bring them home

In word, in deed?

She calls to the senses

of those who are lost

who gave it all

to their cost

She speaks to the hearts

of those who know pain

Who have sacrificed all

and earned only pain.

To those who 

Can not stay

with those who

have lost their way

She calls to those

whose dared to dream

and felt the joy

before the scream

She calls.. 

But beware

only those who have lost

truly dare

@Shauni

Once I Believed

Once I believed

That there was a place

For someone

like me

Once I believed

That I would

Dream Dreams

Live and Love

Once I believed

That in spite of it all

There was a place

For me

Once...

I believed, I dreamed

I hoped, 

Once..

Once I believed 

That life was grand

That there was joy

That there was hope

Once..

But no more

No more do 

I believe

Too many times

The dreams have been shattered

The heart has been broken

Nothing has mattered

Too many times

Those that said they care

Walked away

Left me alone

Too many times

I sat and cried

For a friend

to stand by my side

Too many times

The battle has been lost

and the victor takes 

the spoils

Leaving me

Alone

Betrayed

lost

@Shauni

Do You See Me?

Do you see me?

Really?

Can you see 

Behind the Mask?

Have you looked

Beyond 

Into who I am

What I dream

Do you hear me?

My Cry

My Voice

My heart?

How can you know me

When you do not see?

You do not listen

You do not feel?

How can you know me

When you can not see

beyond the smile

The laugh

Do you know

My Reality?

My Pain?

My insecurities?

Do you hear 

How loud I cry?

Do you feel

My Pain?

And yet you 

Judge me

Mock me

Betray me

You leave me alone

To fight the world

suffering 

in pain..

Abandoned

Betrayed

Thrown away

Alone.

@Shauni

I am Undone

I stand alone

the night calls, 

The mist is rising

Darkness falls..

As the world ignores

the desperate moan

The demons thrive

I stand alone

Battled and betrayed

Hope all but gone

Bruised and scared

I am undone

Used and abused

for someone's gain

Never minding 

My constant Pain

The battle is raging

The war not won

I stand alone

I am undone
