raquel stevenson Poems

Out of the shadow,
Clarity washing away the residential delusion.
Indescriminate light blinding my soul,
All I knew-now,
...

I was considering today all the years I have written poems and such.
I wish I had them all to sum up my life,
But alas,
They along with some pieces of my life,
...

This time,
I will remember,
The date today.
This time,
...

Breath in,
Out.
Allow a moment,
To be.
...

I sat here tonight,
having a moment of quiet.
You came in,
unannounced though welcome.
...

Shut-up, insecure nonsense!
I am claiming the good in me.
I am claiming all the wonder I am as a human.
I am claiming all the glory I am as a woman.
...

I love you, Yes.
But Bigger.
Bigger than tears and smiles.
Bigger than saddnes, happiness,
...

Lost in a sea of abandoned dreams
and disillusionment.
Treading water for a breath
of hope.
...

My broken eyes, the years and the tears,
The anger, the fears, the wrinkles and the deep regret.
The patience lost, the happiness tossed,
The trampled moments and the unfulfilled promise.
...
