Heaven's Sonnet 7

This is the last of the Heaven's Sonnets. This part was written to remind me that people still loved me and I had people who cared about me still down here. My sister has always played a silent role in my life. She's always been there in the background somewhere doing what sisters are supposed to do, I guess you can say. As time goes on I see it more as an obligation to my mother versus real love for me.
But, that's another poem entirely. Now, here is the final installment. This is...

Heaven's Sonnet 7

I didn't have time to say anything,
the next thing I know I'm falling from grace
landing in the most pain life could ever bring.
I wake up and see a familiar face.
My sister is in a chair tired and sleeping.
I am lying in a hospital bed
wondering how this could possibly be.
Wondering if I was ever really dead
I sit up and think about the strangers I knew
wondering if anyone would believe
what I just so happened to see and do
or the size of our entire family.
I still can't believe they went and let me in.
Will anyone believe what I saw in Heaven?
The Beginning...

My Lil' Story 'bout Love

I've loved and I've lost. My high school sweetheart who I loved and lost after not treating her right. I thought maybe one day I would be able to get that back. I stayed there for her when she needed me. I even did the unthinkable and talk to her when she lost her virginity. Though it was supposed to be me, I let it go and still loved her. I was even there for her as he mother was dying. I was there lending an ear and my experience and telling her the real. She needed to spend as much time with that woman as possible because she was never going to get to see her again. As we talked more and more she started telling me about the times when her so called new dude hit her. I told her I loved her, I apologized for my past. I told her and I meant I would do better. No, I never cheated but I was guilty of not showing her the love and affection she deserved. And it was because of that I felt she was where she was. I felt it was my fault that she was in the relationship she was in. W...

Heaven's Sonnet 1

I needed to be happy and the only way I saw that happening was with my mother. The next seven poems are my attempt at writing a sonnet and creating a story of them. The story is about #suicide and was written when I was in a state of depression I know no one around me at the time could bring me out of. And I really didn't have the energy to try and get myself out of. I was a low place where I didn't care and really didn't want to live. But, I'd been told by my sister that I needed to find a reason. I needed to find a reason to go on, a reason to fight. My mother was my reason. So, in an effort to see her again, to paint an everlasting picture of her and where she is, I started the projects called Heaven's Sonnet and it turned out to be an effective suicide prevention project. This poem made me think about what I had and was willing to leave and give up. It also helped me explore what I felt in my heart my mother would want. Heaven's Sonnet 1 A small ...

Love

I haven't had a lot of luck with love in my life, so I don't write and haven't written many #poems about love. I felt that the inspiration always led to something dark and twisted, something depressing. But, being a writer, I decided to see if I could. And Love came out, this is the first love poem I've ever written... I hope you enjoy Love It is a feeling I barely understand,  She as my Girl and I her Boyfriend. I’d rather die with her than see another Sun set,  I as her Romeo and she my Juliet. I’d shout out my heart day out and day in,     With her as my woman and I as her man. If our feelings were breaking laws to the bloody end I’d ride,     Cause you are my Bonnie and I your Clyde. I’d give you the world and gladly my life,     I as your husband and you as my wife. I’d invoke a war and give up the world to destroy,     I as the Trojan and you my Helen of Troy. With each other our hearts will neve...
