chantelle ribeiro Poems

Influenced by life
she sometimes hides
Her heart of gold
For a while shared
...

Spring is here
Possibilities new and fresh
Blossoms in delicate pink
I feel the coldness leave my bones
...

Words locked in silent thought
A woman
Newly born
Shackles and chains at her feet
...

When you look into a Woman's eyes
You will find her soul
Her strength and vulnerability
Her bottomless faith in humanity
...

Sometimes
when the seasons change
and time runs away
do you sit and wonder
...

Silence cleanses the soul
Makes one look inward
Reflect in solitude
Refreshing and crucial
...

So many lives
Lost
A year of remembrance
Sorrow
...

I sit here sometimes
staring at a blank page
frustration building up inside
So much to say
...

Today I saw a woman
Scarred and broken
Stand up and face the world
How proud she stood
...

It is dark
Here where sorrow lives
It twists and distorts
leaving me abandoned on the floor
...
