She was such a wicked creature;

even the demons

could have donned halos

as they walked in her shadow.

How are you today?

Don't tell me what you think I want to hear.

Don't tell yourself things you know are wrong.

And don't ask if you don't want to know.

Because I won't hold back anymore.

Stay or go.

I'm just doing my best.

[riverofinkofficial]

Will you forgive me for the holes I have made in our walls,

and for the hours spent crying I would never let you see?

Let me grab the plaster and paint,

I'll do up my face and smile.

This home is still beautiful

with all of us in it.

Buy me a coffee!

Any tips will be used to get my kids something nice and pay for online writing classes to improve my craft!

The things that I tend to break me down

are the things fr which I am motivated.

But I still cry sometimes,

it's just a thing I have to do to keep moving.

[riverofinkofficial]

My reflection mocks me

and I ask her to settle.

But fire only knows how to dance.

Who am I to take that from myself?

[riverofinkofficial]

A part of my world has died by your side

And I am so selfish to crave your voice

And when my heart sings I want to give it all to you

because too many times I just walked by!

[riverofinkofficial]

Sometimes the roses arrange themselves

under limelight

cast by a sorrow moon.

Just for the sky that your smile paints.

[riverofinkofficial]

It’s easy to make words stick

when they’re dipped in venom.

But I wonder if any words of mine like roses,

borne from my unpainted lips,

have ever crafted sand dunes.

New Logo!

I am not posting a poem today, I have started a new novel a few days ago and will be spending time with that today.

More tomorrow! Have a wonderful day!

[riverofinkofficial]

The wind coos

like an excited bird

outside of my window.

[riverofinkofficial]

Better doesn't mean good.

Don't settle, strive for what you deserve.

[riverofinkofficial]

I am a creator,

a visionary,

a beast of written art!

Let me never again forget.

I will stoke the fire

and weird my ink

once again!

[riverofinkofficial]

If you do not know,

then learn.

It is simple,

so keep it simple.

My husband brought me an angel in a pot.

It was dry and cracking.

We thought it would die.

I watered it and caressed it.

I sang and watered it again.

I grasped it's pit and with eyes closed,

I imagined putting my energy into it like a beam of light.

Yesterday it began sprouting its wings,

the little angel he brought home finally glows again.

And our little angels smile at it every day

while I water and sing to it.

[riverofinkofficial]

Make a bucket list.

Maybe you won't do it all.

Keep it simple.

Keep it crazy.

Whatever comes to mind.

Even if you don't do any of it,

Let it inspire you to do anything at all - new or old.

We are plants.

We need water,

the sun and air,

room to grow and be rooted.

And sometimes we need to be re-potted.

We experience droughts

and bugs wriggling into our space.

The sun gets blocked out

so we curl into ourselves.

Open the windows.

Water yourself. Water each other.

Give yourself the time and space to branch out.

Give others the same.

We are all plants.

Let's grow together

to become a happy jungle.
