Running

Once again  I’m running scared,

Running, always running.

But alas,

Damn this treadmill!

As I look around in the same spot

That I started running in.

It’s time to take my running in a direction.

And not let the coward within me ruin my future.

For now I’m going forward,

I just hope its in the right direction.

So as I pull on my running shoes,

And I take a leap into the unknown,

I smile in the knowledge,

That any direction…..

Is better than none!

Clouded Thoughts

I wrote this poem a few weeks ago, before I wrote The Phoenix.

My head is clouded

With infected thoughts,

Eating away at my self-esteem.

Why can’t my confidence be endless?

I’m not the person I thought I would be.

I’m not doing what I wanted to do.

When did I give up dreaming?

When did my future seem spent?

When did the lioness inside,

Turn into the cowardly lion?

BAH!

I’m fed up of hiding,

I need to make my way

To the light at the end of this tunnel,

That always seemed so out of reach.

It’s time to reach!

Its time to get out of this damn tunnel!

The Phoenix

I rise through the flames,

The old burnt away

As my new self

Blazes across the horizon.

Empowered, alive

Leaving that old part

To burn to dust

In the flames that bore me.

I am a bird of fire,

flying free

from the constraints

that were once

Like a noose round my neck.

Now I am as bright as the sun

And flying high,

The past is gone

I’m now on track

The phoenix has risen

And there’s no going back!

Its not my time

I am content

Mostly happy

sometimes spent.

I feel the pull to perform

but the pressure

Is there to conform.

But even the small things

That allow me to blend

Don’t seem to want me

I’m at my end.

But content I still am

And happy I’ll be

To give all my love

To my family.

To Tom and Charlie, my lovely family. Who keep me happy and busy xx Love you lots xx

 

Need to Get Sorted

Why do I sit,

Alone in my head.

Ideas are flowing

But I lie here like lead.

 

I’ve lost the energy

Required for the flow

So I lie here not moving,

Just letting it go.

 

I beg for the time,

The lightening will strike.

And I will start living

The life that is right.

Drowning

Today my heart stood still

Sometimes my eyes

Just can’t get there fill.

I’ll drown in your smile

If I can’t drag my eye’s

Away for a while.

I touch you without thinking

Your amused by my actions

But my heart keeps on drinking.

I’m wrapped around you begging to drown,

In the love that washes over

That I try to play down.

Not just the love, but the lust that takes me,

When ever I’m with you

It won’t let me be.

So I’m drowning forever, in a wonderful way,

I get deeper

Every single day.

Its Worth It!

Oh My God!

What a mess,

I’m totally

In a stress!

Bits of paper every where

This is certainly a messy affair.

Invitations

All in bits

my sanity on the frits.

But although I’m manic as hell

And I think I’m on my last brain cell.

The thought of

me and you

Getting Married, 

Gets me through x

Back in Control

I want to feel the calm,

That once I used to posses.

Where is it gone,

My brain is a mess.

I want to feel organised

And back in control.

And not on a rollercoaster,

Just letting it role.

I can’t seem to separate

One thing from the next.

It’s all just jumbled

A huge giant mess.

I hope that the calm

will again be restored

My need for control ,

Will not be ignored.

Sorry!!

Hi everyone,

I am so sorry I’ve been away and not even been near A Leaf in the Breeze.  I am just so swamped trying to sort out my wedding and trying to sell the house that I’ve neglected my beloved poetry. I will be back on soon with some new stuff. Also, Thankyou everyone for all your lovely comments, they mean so much, but here’s an oldie to tide you over………

Path of Gold

The path is before me,
It’s all paved in Gold.
Some times it whispers
The secrets it holds.
I listen and tread
And slowly move forth.
Not knowing what’s coming
Yet being foretold.

Some times I stray
From my guided existence,
And go it alone
And meet with resistance.
But why fight alone
And why leave the road
For an attempted shortcut
To lighten the load.

But the short cut is only
A sneaky diversion,
And then your back where you started
Just a revised version.

By Kiera Devaney

I promise to be back on soon….take care of your selves xxxxxx
