chantelle ribeiro Poems

We go through life searching
putting all the pieces of the puzzle together
We meet many people
form relationships
...

Awakening from myself
The feeling of belonging
To something bigger
The ultimate achievement
...

I am here
Always here
No matter what you said
How it hurt
...

I can't sleep
My mind a collage of images
Excited by a feeling
of expectation
...

Ice rain drape the branches
where cherry blossoms sway
The bitter cold
Chills the blood to slush
...

He left her
broken like a dried out twig
Hollow and hopeless
A shell without a soul
...

What do you see
When you look at me?
Do you see a mystery?
A woman born to love?
...

I watched a love story on tv...
It was Autumn in Central Park,
the golden Winter sun
peeping through the branches of beautiful trees
...

The African breeze stirs
The air balmy with promise
I watch the sea of grass
shimmering on a heatwave
...

And so it begins
This strange chapter
of self discovery
of healing
...
