LOST

August 9, 2016June 4, 2019 ~ marilynjdepaula ~ Leave a comment

I sit alone at might in my Empty bed wondering. Where I went wrong with My Life? The ache of loss and desire Rise within me. Squeezing, breathless, My mind in chaos. What did I do to deserve this, My brain screams? This living hell. Was I too nice or too mean? Was I too … Continue reading LOST

SOLITUDE

August 9, 2016June 4, 2019 ~ marilynjdepaula ~ Leave a comment

A willow weeps quietly above me, As I rest below on the morning dew Enveloped in the sweet jasmine-scented breeze. Weary eyes close against the sun A kaleidoscope of colors dance before me I am transported. Across the waves on a distant shore A giant bamboo palace reaches for the sky through the mountain mist. … Continue reading SOLITUDE

SHALL I RESOLVE?

August 9, 2016June 4, 2019 ~ marilynjdepaula ~ Leave a comment

Tick, tock, tick, the second hand sweeps it's way to midnight. What shall I resolve on this eve of a New Year? Run, skip, jump, Exercise the year round, High protein, low carb, Stick to the diet as found. Work, execute, perform, overtime I stay, Stand Firm. No more, I cry. Friend, confidante, lover I … Continue reading SHALL I RESOLVE?

SLEEPWALKER

August 9, 2016June 4, 2019 ~ marilynjdepaula ~ Leave a comment

Beams of light shine brilliantly from the ground, Crisscrossing the midnight sky Terror rises within her, Evil is among us. Shadows creep slowly along the wall, Slithering closer to it's prey. She climbs the walls to escape. There is no place to hide, an exit must be found. Reflections are their friends, conduits to our … Continue reading SLEEPWALKER

PORTRAIT

August 9, 2016June 4, 2019 ~ marilynjdepaula ~ Leave a comment

Stately he sits alone this portrait of a man. Encased in silver, yet alive all the same. Eyes engaging, moving, knowing, pulling me in from every direction. Are they filled with humor or pain? Forever young, his Roman features attract, though black and white. Young girls would swoon from his inspection. Handsomely he gazes down … Continue reading PORTRAIT

THE ENDLESS ENNUI

August 9, 2016June 4, 2019 ~ marilynjdepaula ~ Leave a comment

The monotony of the day wars on and on From hour to hour, minute to minute, second to second, I stare at the computer screen, Will nothing happen? Twiddle, twiddle, go my thumbs, Ever searching for something to do. Clickety, clack, search the internet for something new to read. Will this day ever end? Tick, … Continue reading THE ENDLESS ENNUI
