Leria Hawkins Poems

Sometimes I speak in rhythm
Whispers free falling from places unseen
A rambling rhyme of muddled madness
Or a verse of dreamless drifting

Unfinished Business

Velvet of the darkest night
Soft as winter wind
Sighs to set the soul aflame
A hunger creeping in

Something made me turn my head
I looked for me, it’s you instead
...

If you forget the road once traveled
And turn from your desires
I shan’t travel with you dear
For my heart still burns with fire
...

I’ve tried so hard to say goodbye
To let you go, oh how I’ve tried
I told you that I couldn’t stay
But you keep standing in my way
...

His beasts grow hungry
Breaking free, the cages of his soul
...

I have arrived…
And I say with some relief
That I do not mourn for you
Or begrudge who you are
You see….I have simply…accepted
