Sleep

Sleep

Slipping in

Pillow meets

Press your lashes to your cheek


Soft breath

Takes you away

dreams are pulling

Us to play.


Rest easy

Do not fear

Ángels guard 

you my Dear.

The Sun’s Lament to the Moon

The Sun’s Lament to the Moon By the dimming of the firelight  I see a lovely glow Arising from  the still dark night His light to me  does show But only in  the darkest hours Stolen moments  before he rests Oh harsh moon how can you be  so cruel so rare,  so full my breast my heart is merely fuel.  Don’t bring me gentle promises Don’t mock me with your light Appearing as  the answer to  a cold  and endless night. Bright shine  and beautiful Ever  to offer more? Have I  broken your cold heart? Have you cast me  on your shore? Oh moon.    I want you  by my side, But I am  the fiery sun. The two  never to collide. Illusions cast Grasping rays  of moonlight empty hands. Maybes  and dreams  carried away  on the heat  of rising dew Sun breaking fast. Anew.  Renew.  D.R.H. copyright Donna R. Hedges 2021

Who Knew

Who knew the taste on my tongue would be so very salty. Yesterday’s hurts bubbling to the surface of my eyes. Rain on the inside Rain on the outside. I miss you today Like a wound reopened. Every time I think of you, My heart weeps.   Carry on.   DRH Copyright Donna R. Hedges 2021

Pain

Pain Bones Centred in between shock waves  Creeping up unseen Stops the world Stops my breath Freeze.  Release Try again The whole world centred in Between these bones Body betrayed Failing parts Muscle bone Blood and skin  Tone it down? Sigh  Since when? Look at me! I’m just 23 Inside my head Prefrontal side.  DRH Copyright Donna Hedges 2021
