Adalie Hettie Poems

I hate the hate that resides in me now

I hate the hate that is so heavy it weighs me down
I hate the hate that keeps my emotions tightly wound
...

To Thine Own Self Be True?
I wonder if the lips that first released this really knew

It’s discerning to stand in the light transformed
...

Sleeping with my eyes wide open
Head bent low, now steadily walking
Inside this frame, sits a wistful daze
And many moments lost, but not forgotten
...

What could I write with a pen in hand?
My mind wants to wander, but my feet have not been.
Can the page be a place to reveal my picture?
A snap shot of thoughts orbiting vivid and clear.
...

Something tugs at my heart when I hear your song
For me it’s no more pretending, let it be known
I understand that you’ve been calling and I’ve wandered too far
Many mirrors were placed before me and yet the reflection I still ignored
...

I won’t let you down
Like so many times before
Take it, my word if it’s worth it
There is nothing here between us
...

Mellow mood Shoulders slouched Feet planted

Borrowing time the brain has granted.
Behind every corner, the Prickling Light,
...

Awareness was ripped from my conscious and thrust upon me.
Awakening-
It’s a blanket that covers my existence like the blackness covers the sea.
Paralyzing-
...

I alone, made the wrong choices
I alone, didn’t listen to those inner voices
I alone, went right when I should have went left
I alone, laid there and wept
...

Who is that man forcing my stare?
Behind those dark brown eyes I should be.
No more than a name and no more to me.
There, I can simmer in our unspoken words.
...
