CHARMAINE SIMPSON Poems

We lay still -
Our bodies touching -
Forming a perfect yin - yang.
I can feel your love like a blanket,
...

Today I looked back over the years we have shared
I thought about all of the times you were my strength
I recalled every tear I cried to you in times of sadness
Along with the smiles and laughter that warmed my heart.
...

Questions that have been given no answers -
The answers will never be shared -
Held within another who selfishly,
Makes the choice to never reveal -
...

Never lose sight -
When at times we are suffocated by the crippling weight of our own darkness,
we glimpse a flickering light struggling to survive that shines from deep within our soul.
...

How do we let go of a lifetime?
How and when do the memories stop hurting?
These experiences which contain the beginning of a journey
That altered my whole being, giving me belief in myself and in others,
...

My senses alive-
Sounds capture my heart and fill my soul
My Eyes wide open I see smiles
The warm glow of soft candle light
...

Thank you – is the word I give especially to you -

Thank you - for opening your arms and your heart –
For choosing to share your journey in life,
...

Welcome to the world gorgeous boy,
Your soul chose the destiny that lay ahead of you,
Your mum and your dad wished upon a star,
They wished for a little boy to complete their circle.
...

Although most of our lives spent as though strangers,
You are to me Family.
My family is everything to me,
Each person holds a place in my heart.
...

Once upon a lifetime ago,
That now seems so far away; it almost feels as though a dream.
My world was once filled with happiness,
With Love, trust, loyalty and completeness.
