If I Could...Just Breathe

in ART LOVERS5 years ago

Have I told you lately, but not today
The alluded charm has beat down my doors?
Perhaps
You know not what I am talking about
Or where this comes from, if not the heart
Hiding behind the shadow of smiles, reality drifting
I’m coming apart


bleeding hearts.jpg


I heard you whisper to my heart
So far away
The distance in the forever range
Can it be my mind playing games?
Yet
I close my eyes, and my soul smiles
Tossing out the truth for a while



Wherever you go, go with all your heart - Confucius



A flower. There must be a flower always, to color my world. This picture is dedicated to #MondayRed #ColorChallenge by @Kalemandra.



Whispered words, cannot be heard
But, only by the heart
As it should be
My love, my love

Thank you for visiting my post 💖 Because of you, I come back to post again and again.. Don't ever forget what a wonderful world we live in, people. Some days, it is not as easy to see, how wonderful it really is. Kindness counts. Wherever you go, whatever you do.



they set my aunts house on fire
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?

i’ve been praying,
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.

later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,

"everywhere"
"everywhere"
"everywhere"

Thanks for the beer @pixresteemer!

Excellent composition Denise, I recognize the "Warsan Shire" quote, but is the rest of it original?
If so it is very tasty, and the images are delicious.
Thank you so much for sharing such beauty with us @dswigle

Thanks so much @jerrytsuseer! Are you talking about the whole poem? The poem was written by Warsan Shire and this is it in its entirety. I always post the entire thing because most people take it out of context by only using the Where does it hurt part. Then it loses the meaning of it.

The rest of the poetry is mine, as you probably guessed. Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving your words. I hope all is going well with you and you are feeling better every day!
