The Poem Anthology

Bees

Humble and small 

Harmless and kind

Tiny dancers 

Big pollinators

We rely on them 

They rely on us

Sleeping in flower beds 

Soft and cute

Smart and loyal 

All for the colony 

All for the queen 

Endangered and at risk 

We must protect

To reap the rewards 

Of their hard work

Time Is All We Have  

Time is such a fleeting thing

It comes, it goes, and leaves us behind. 

The memories we share remind us of the past

And shape our future. 

It is in its nature to pass us by

Without knowledge, without remorse. 

We move through time oblivious to its plight 

And in its wake held helpless against its grasp. 

Let it be time who decides all things

And in time all things will come to a close.

The future is to come, 

The past to become,

The present to be. 

In the end,

Time is all we have.

In the Dark  

All alone 

In the dark 

No light shines

No sparks fly. 

Clutch thy chest 

And pray, pray, pray

That one day soon 

You’ll shine so bright.

Breathing softly 

Through the night

Looking for

My saviour’s guide.

Hold myself 

Close and tight

Determined to 

Bring out the light.

In the dark 

I wait and see

For someone too 

Come rescue me.

Dark Skies

Through starry skies, the night is dark

The signs shine with undying light.

The archer takes his fateful mark 

As balance holds the pendulums might. 

The bull, the lion, and the sheep 

In water’s depth and domain.

The virgin ever one to weep

The crab has come to stake its claim

The scorpion wrath is but a sting 

As twins play tricks, a child’s game.

The fish eager to jump and sling

The ram lies weary, worn, and lame.

To Love Yourself

To love yourself is hard. 

So easy to see the flaws 

So intimately we know our short-comings. 

To love yourself is a skill. 

It is not something that comes naturally. 

It is learned and practiced over time. 

To love yourself is necessary. 

You cannot go through life without it. 

You cannot love others otherwise. 

To love yourself is kind. 

It’s recognition of your worth. 

It’s proof of how far you’ve come. 

To love yourself is worth it. 

It opens you up to all life has to offer. 

It opens you to all the possibilities in front of you. 

To love yourself is the first step. 

It is required to move forward. 

It is how progress in bettering ourselves. 

Love yourself.

The Lady in Azure 

Her hair is wild strands of golden silk. 

Her skin is smooth as the ocean surface. 

She moves like wind, and dances like fire. 

Her voice is pure as nature intended. 

She wears garments of a velvet blue. 

Her eyes wander across the room. 

Looking for the one to free her soul. 

Deep as the abyss. 

Wings that fly in endless azure. 

She yearns the day she knows the feeling. 

She calls and beckons on deaf ears. 

For beauty dies in the arms of a lie.

~

Eden 

There is a place,

It does exist,

Where unimaginable beauty dwells.

A place with mountains that disappear in the clouds. 

Trees that reach for the sun, 

Meadows of the brightest flowers, 

Bogs with the softest moss. 

There is a place, 

In this world, 

Where the stars connect in beams of light. 

 They map the universe,

Through space and time, 

In stories passed down the generations. 

There is a place, 

Here and Now, 

Where life runs in abundance. 

Where the insects chirp, 

Birds of feathers fly free, 

And balance in everything has been achieved. 

There is a place.
