chantelle ribeiro Poems

The human psyche
Fragile as a breath of air
Yet strong in despair
We love
...

Falling in Love
An indescribable emotion
It comes on the winds of a tornado
Twisting and uprooting our defenses
...

You cannot change...
Your memories are
like dust in the wind
Conveniently forgotten
...

Stop, please stop
I am weak
I am only one
I feel your excitement
...

Winter is here, my love
Cold and bleak like
the tempest brewing inside my being
Uncertainty and fear envelopes me
...

I stand alone on a deserted beach
Small and insignificant
Eyes closed
Face upturned
...

Dawn arrives in subtle hues
The sun breaks like an egg
over the horizon
Through mists of Winter
...

Obsession is like a serpent
twisting and coiling in the deepest
bowels of your soul
A cancer
...

A new day approaches
bringing with it endless possibilities
A fear of the unknown
A new chapter in my book of life
...

You make me smile
Your warmth like a summer's breeze
against my cheek
Your friendship my rock
...
