On the Stage

In the depths of her heart, fear resides,

The darkness engulfs, where shadows collide.

Afraid of the unknown, she trembles inside,

As the dimmest of lights, still cause her to hide.

The brightness that blinds, one shade too bright,

It pierces her soul, fills her with fright.

She shies away from the crowd’s loud cheer,

On the grand stage of pride, she drowns in fear.

A thousand eyes upon her, but her voice is lost,

Silenced by anxiety, a heavy cost.

Yet, she portrays strength, appears so strong,

But deep down, she, too, finds words all gone.

And as you sought to understand her strife,

You discovered your own loss in this life.

Both wandering souls, struggling to be heard, In a world where silence can speak louder than words.

 

 

In The Rough

My absence has made my heart feel empty

Not able to share what’s happening in my world

My mind was dragged to another place

A place that demanded my attention

A place that will force you to look on no other.

In this place my cries for freedom go unanswered.

But yet again I have escaped,

I have broken the chains

Hoping never to be captured again.

Confusion

I can hear people quarreling

Sirens echoing in the air

The rumbling sound from the man cutting grass

The vehicles passing with their loud horns honking

The hammering from the repair man

Followed by his repetitive sawing

Leaving my teeth with numbness

My ears pounding like a tortured soul

Now the clap of thunder

Down comes the pouring rain

My Extraordinary Bestfriend

When I look around each day

It’s you that I see

Whether up or down

You are there for me

In my dull moments

You make me smile

And tell me to get myself together

It’s only for awhile

You deserve a gold medal

Around your heart

You are the most genuine motivator

I have ever come across

I will hold your hands to the end

Because you are no other than

My extraordinary best friend.

Your Special Day

This is your special day and I am honored

To celebrate it with you

You deserve to be treated like royalty today

And every day

You are a dedicated father and friend

A husband I would never exchange

In hard times you never fold

You extend your arms to keep us from the cold

You motivate and inspire us each and everyday

I love you Happy Birthday

K.Jones

 

A Great Friend

Your friendship reminds me

Of the rainbow that hovers in the sky

With colors that grab the attention of many

You stand out because there is not many like you

So determined and honest

So kind and true

I will not forget what a peacemaker you are

You will shoot positivity with your lips

But you will never go to war

You are a great friend in every way

I hope blessing fall on you every day

The perfect moment

An opportunity for a perfect moment

An opportunity to take a chance

It is time for the stars to shine

So let’s dance to the disco light

Step out no regrets let us dance until we are wet

This moment let us frame

Let this moment be our fame

In the same moment I will take your hand

So we can dance together to the end

The Awesome Stranger

The awesome stranger looked at me

So afraid to hold him

Because of fear of the unknown

He called out to me with his luring eyes

Begging me to take my share of gold

The unknown kept holding me back

Telling me to stay put never to move

Packing on its many bricks on my back

Adding its epitome of negativity as an extra load to carry

I forced my way up but failed miserable to stand up

With eyes wide open I saw the awesome stranger stretching out his hands

Even his reassurance to help falls on deaf ears

Even with his irresistible perspective

I was forced to look away

Even though my heart yearned to hold him

The unknown held me tight telling me he will never let go.
