Shooting the moon

Shooting the Moon

Oh moon

What have you done?

Collecting penalties 

On captured hearts. 

Discarding them

Once again.  

Placed aside

Till some later time

When they may serve 

Your purpose again.  

You are no better than a common thief

Betting on tricks in 

blackjacket. 

Playing hearts for fun. 

Know this dear gambler of mine,

The Ace of my heart

Will not be played

So easily. 

Perhaps that was what you wanted,

all along.

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
