Lori Brown

when one has so much love to give 
and no one to receive 
hate and anger start to breed 
with no way to relieve 
a simple smile a caring tough 
a love so pure and true 
these are things i live without

Hot baked sun streaming down

Intense bright light all around

Penetrating everything

more…

I get up

Without dropping any household items

Or hitting myself with any of those objects

more…

You are not what is

A burden to others

But a butterfly 🦋

more…

The beat is pounding

In the background

The cafe is empty

more…

Me and mom went out today

to try an ice-cream shop

I got a Rocky Road

Life is like a tree

It has many branches

Over time it grows

more…

I am in the murky waters of life

The water is cold to the touch

Up to my knees

more…

When we are away or leave

We hunger for the scent of home

We wish for something familiar

more…

Put me in a confessional

Give me all you feel

Pain
