  • my mother
    by burntblue

    This grief is a dark monkey clinging to my neck / His spider limbs swinging / His fingers are in my eyes again, tugging, tugging

  • Remember Me
    by Matt Penfold

    How will he remember me / If I’m stoned by the crowd / deep down in his heart

    Precious is the Memory I wrote this poem in response to Helen Bascom’s image Precious is the Memory and her question beside it “How will he remember me?” which I used as the opening line. I would like to thank Helen for allowing me to display this image here and for including this poem in her Active Art blog.

  • Amazing Work with YOUR inner child
    by linaji

    I did it with all my anger. I did it because I was too angry to die.

    Please read this with an understanding that this is where I was I do not feel abused nor a victim in any way shape or form. I feel however you have to start where you are. I am where I am before you move on past the pain. I recommend for anyone looking for their inner child to do this work The person who helped me so much a couple years ago asked that I do a flow of whatever came to mind of my first meeting with my inner child. This inner child piece was written as is, I made very few changes to it. I did not edit this as I wrote it .. Raw and from my heart to my sweet little Lynne, whom I have grown to love more and more as each day passes on. / xox HERE IS THE SECOND PIECE I WROTE After a few months of discovering her

  • My Soul, is Freedom’s Journey
    by Kristin Reynolds

    Blowing through a vast crevasse – / from whirling tempest; / to calming balm on wounded skin; / to constant howl; / to sunlit kiss, onto war…

    Ah. How to describe this? This is, quite simply, my past – or, the majority of it’s heaviness. So much. So many details. In short: my beautiful mother died at the age of 26, at the hands of a monster (AKA: the black-maker); tortured us beforehand for 2+ years on a daily basis (he was a dirty, dirty cop) which included molesting me for many years, years of which I have but 2 memories left after my brain erased my hard-drive to keep me from killing myself, most likely…the body knows what’s best. although, it would be nice, to have even one memory of my mother. she died when I was 7. She took her own life to escape him. / I have always pictured that little girl (me at 7, post her death) as sitting atop this pillar in a cave, bound and gagged, waiting for the adult me to come and rescue her…maybe someday I’ll be able to remember, and realease that girl of mine) / but for now, I take all of this as : A GIFT. and I mean that. ,my past is my gift, my present the reward. I harbor no ill-will against anyone. I forgave the man about 5 years back, in a dream actually, and my mother as well. / As I say, “I am the light-maker now”. So be it. I accept. With love and forgiveness in my heart, how could I do anything but shine for them?

  • Through the Glass, of Valhalla
    by Kristin Reynolds

    “Come to the window… / I can see myself more clearly, / here…” A Valkyrie goddess – / gold and pink, / with the heart of a dying child; ...

    A poem dedicated to my beautiful, Goddess of a mother who died tragically when she was young (26) , long story, and all she taught me of life through her tragic death and sacrifice. This is a poem written from her perspective in italics, her words to me…at least, those are the things she taught me… I love you, Mum. :)

  • The Wilds' Call

  • Ancestral Love Traced
    by Kristin Reynolds

    I trace the memory of your love / upon my daughters face; / she has your grace within her eyes, / though love can’t be replaced, it can t…

  • The Screaming Box
    by Kristin Reynolds

    You are tied tight, / woven into my fabric, too close knit to distinguish / our separate blends. So hot…the box of before, / burning i…

    This is a poem about my mother: The lost, and The found of her… / She died tragically (suicide/murder) when she was 26 and I was 7…back in May of this year my uncle sent me an old box I’d never seen before, which held ominous letters written a year, a few months…and right before her death; a pair of glasses, her bronzed baby shoes, cards kept from holidays, and a few other (now sacred) seemingly insignificant keepsakes. / This box would not stop. I had to hide it, so the pull of it did not suck me down again into her ends. / This is a poem about that box. / A repost, as this was only the second poem I ever posted here and I wished it read. :)

  • The Mourning of an Aging Songbird
    by Kristin Reynolds

    I From the kitchen / lips and tongue singing / as a 5 am songbird. / Dough rises, / and falls / about your arthritic, yet / nimble fingers…

    This is a repost. I tried in vain once again to link this poem to the other one through a journal…but, it seems (as I suspected!) I’m too dumb to actually make it happen. :) I can accept that. / So…here it is, posted again; as the last time I posted this for my beautiful grandmother, I had just joined the bubble, and not many read it. / I wanted my Gran read. She raised me after my mum died when I was 7 (and had lived with us most of my young life before then) – i miss them both more than words can say, as you can imagine. / thank you for reading. :)

  • When You Were Born

  • your caring
    by linaji

    you sent me a movie of your caring I watched you click on / view seems stunted but the feeling is mutual / words from a great poet you s…

    Loving gestures are wonderful / sometimes depending on the day they switch on a feeling / not good nor bad really / however something that gets attention more than the purpose / of the gesture / tis our own agenda of course that dominates everything / that is why I find it hard to believe we could influence a fly / cept in death / but even then the choice seems to be / fight or allow / I like to think if I faced a death and I could choose how / I would respond / I would choose the allowing / and maybe I could stay conscious through the transition / from life to life / anyway I love others / I love me / gestures are are welcome / from you to me.

  • 30 years of blooms
    by Kristin Reynolds

    I guess it’s time to stop asking questions, / and start answering them. / Wipe away long dead evaporations, / mined trails overgrown with ne…

    November 10th. Happy birthday, Mum. :) / I miss you more than words; / I understand that I could never understand; / I used to whisper “I forgive you…” / but now understand, that is not my place. / There is no need. / I love you eternally. / Happy birthday.

  • stars on earth, the path to home
    by Kristin Reynolds

    I hear whispers through sunlight / leaves signing / in the language of wind, / to the beat / of a fluent heart. Secrets spoken / between …

    Another Earth song; for those who are between.

  • Harry, my Stepfather
    by Mark Ramstead

    His mother told our mom when they met, that Harry was insane.

    This was written from memory with no consultation of my brothers and sister. Some events may have happened or been perceived differently than what I describe here. Each of us has our own story, and most of the chapters remain to be told. In reality though, most of this unhappy tale will be forgotten as we all look forward.
