Distance

Distance

With distance great

Time is sweet

Peaches ripe

Ever fleeting. 


Taste the nectar

Burst inside

Juices quench

Lover’s sigh


Warmth enfold

Deep embrace

Rest awhile

Sharing grace.


All too soon

The time has come

Fingers release

Bittersweet and succumb


Wishing for

Swift passage until

Once again 

Hold you, I will.

Battles

Battles  Standing right smack  In the middle of the fray No time to react So much coming my way Duck dive twist run What are we fleeing from? Life.    At times Pushes right to the break How much more can pile on my plate? But I somehow manage We all do it seems Until the next twister Rips at our seams And when the storm passes We look back with grace And love and compassion and awe on our face Who knew we could do it? Life, we create.   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

This

This Striking my heart strings  In such a way Brings much hope For joy to stay Casting eyes  Cloaked in jest But you know I want You the best I love you, I love you! I long to say Bridled and silent I can not play Ripped and torn  Inside my chest Tear off pretence And me undress Say you love me Say you do All I’ve ever wanted Was you.   DRH Copyright Donna R Hedges 2021
