Poetry: Eternal Slumber

What happens if I do not wake tomorrow

But lay in an eternal slumber?

Who’s eyes would fill with tears

That would fall to a bitter end?

Who would latch onto my arm

Yelling my name into my lifeless ears?

What happens if this eternal slumber

Was unknowing and fast

There was no time to say goodbyes

No time to heal the hurtful words of past

What happens when this eternal slumber

Breaks down your foundation of strength?

Your hands gently touch my face

And you fall to your knees

You heart shredding in pain

What happens when this eternal slumber

Breaks apart your blissful life

You no longer find happiness

You no longer laugh in the wind

What happens when this eternal slumber

Doesn’t move you from your spot

You stand there with no emotion

You stand there in no strife

What happens when this eternal slumber

Was just a test of you?

And with your actions you failed horribly

And have shown me what I must do

Poetry: Insanity Ensues

The loneliness of despair

The solitude of grief

The depressive state of being

Pushing forth through the masses unnoticed

Invisible

Intolerant views of words

Speaking the truth to deaf ears of the wise

Only to be burdened with ties of lies

The heart in truth does not lie

The words of truth are not lies

The lies are the form of evil and deception

Where in a soul that’s pure and light

Do not exist on the tongue

Insanity ensues as the solitude grows

Not insanity from an illness

But insanity from seclusion and hermitage

Walking the path of innocence and truth

Leads to words being rebuked and shunned

No longer feeling the last grasp of happiness

The veins bleed in pure bliss

The freedom of death knocking at the bathroom door

What does my heart yearn for more

To live or to die

To exist or to rise

The evolutionary trials of man’s hate

Echo through my mind’s eye

I know now what my fate shall be

But it only exists in infinity

Poetry: Putrid Waters

I’m drowning again

I’m suffocating, choking on the putrid waters

Each arm stroke is weighted down with another rope

The ropes of regret. Of remorse, of fear

Bottle after bottle, I drown myself’ in fake bliss

Hoping the bottle will float me along the ocean of despair

I never reach the shoreline I never catch a breath of air

I skim the surface gasping only the reef of solitude

People fill the waters but not hand do I know

Not a hand reaches for me

I silently bob in between life and death

The darkness of life the darkness of chains

The chaos of my own mind

As I sit in my chair, in a world full of people

Who know not how to save,

But how to drown my sorrows away

And hide them from the light

Pushing them further into my deep seated fear

Pushing them out in streaming tears

Will I save myself?

From this pain and agony, from this lifeless world

That bubbles me in a barrier of silence

A barrier that no one can or wants to break

A barrier of painful solitude

That in my ear, whispers away

My poetry book made front page news!

WIN_20150619_221008

I’m completely elated with the fact I landed front page news in my local newspaper here in Virginia. It came as a surprise as well because they never emailed me back letting me know they were running the press release. This is a big accomplishment for myself and very good boost in confidence of my career as a writer and poet. Celebrated with a bottle of wine and hubby bought me flowers

Helping those in need is more important than the money

“When in need, a hand is all one needs.”

So I submitted my first press release to some local newspapers and Roanoke Times editor was one of them that picked up the release. I emailed them today speaking of the second book published and they are merging it with the first one. I can’t wait to see the release in the newspaper lol I’m thinking of ordering a bunch of copies of both of the poetry books and doing some book signings at the library in the town I grew up in. Also thinking of going to Barnes and Nobles in Roanoke, VA to do a signing. It just depends on my finances. If I bought the number of copies I want to buy and sell them all I would be happy lol.

As of right now I have both books up on separate facebook pages with their own show now buttons that take you directly to the createspace estore for easier access of purchase. Also up on my main author page.

I strive everyday to help others in this world. Its not about making the money. If I sell books, it means I’m helping the ones who purchased the copy. Money doesn’t make my world go round, happiness of others do. I really hope my books can reach through to others  in their time of need. Instead of committing suicide, read one of my prose. Instead of crying your eyes out, read one of my songs and create your own tune in your head for it. This will get you through the days. I hope one day I can be recognized as a helper or as a guide for everyone in need.

Stay tuned for more information on the releases of these books and the more to come in the future!! Book three is rolling around in my head!

Sample poem from my poetry book

Deaf Ears

The field is empty and cold
I sit at your feet with my heart heavier than ever
I speak to you as the wind blows past my face
The cold air burning my face
Tears stream down
As I plead with you for an answer
An answer to everything that holds me back
Your response falls silent to my deaf ears
I desperately need to hear your voice
To hear your words of wisdom and truth
Your silent response echoes deep within my heart
The tears stream down as I beg with you
I need your answer to move on
I need your answer to continue on throughout life
I cannot look up from where I sit
I stare at the flowers I have brought you
A gift from my heart
O how you loved your flowers
The warm smell of beautiful notes
That fill the empty voids of space
I close my eyes and rock back and forth
Wanting to hear you say the words
Wanting to hear your voice
The voice of reason
The voice of love
But yet again the sound of your voice falls on my deaf ears
I wipe away the tears that have betrayed my mind
I promised to be strong
I promised to not cry
I promised that I would take each word to heart
But the words are silent
Still
I stand from your feet and open my eyes
The light from the sun is blinding as it bounces from your reflective emanation
I reach out to touch your face
But I keep reaching on
I fall to my knees in despair
Grasping your flowers tight in my hands
Why won’t you listen to my pleading heart?
Why won’t you answer me back when I ask?
Why didn’t you stay with me forever?
Just as you promised you would
Why did you leave me torn into pieces?
I should be whole
I should be happy
But I’m not
You left me without letting me know why
Why!!?
I demand to know why!
But your answer still falls on my deaf ears.
I walk from your feet
To the reflecting light bouncing in my eyes
I walk closer to your heart
And I lay down your flowers right there
On the mound of dirt
In this freezing February air
