chantelle ribeiro Poems

Be still
Be calm
Shut out reality
Let the cleansing waters
...

A wanderer in the desert
of life
Going nowhere
but in circles
...

Cornered
Lonely
They made you a liar
its foulness spewed from your lips
...

Autumn hues and fallen leaves
Winter's fingers tickle the air
The morning mists hang around
pregnant with mystery
...

She dances on the edge of her time
the tango of life and death
Their lamenting cries
Their fear of what's to come
...

How does it feel to be cruel?
An unfeeling thing
Selfish and ruthless
Murderer of hearts
...

I trembled that day
The first time you asked for my name
I wanted to run
Vulnerable and afraid
...

Your aura black
The darkest night cannot compare
Your eyes a mess
Their beauty dulled by your despair
...

Fragile
Delicately designed
Iridescent work of art
by God's hand
...

Do you know, Monster
what you did?
Your filthy hands
Her innocent mind
...
