CHARMAINE SIMPSON Poems

As i release from my fingertips what was a lifetime,
I say goodbye -
As the final river of tears stream down my face,
I say goodbye -
...

At a time when my world was dark,
I felt alone and very confused,
I asked myself the question
“Why am I here? ”
...

A true priceless gift
My family
Together we form an indestructible bond
Together we create a feeling
...

Life changes direction -
Questions and challenges are our obstacles.
The importance of true friendship becomes clear.
The support and love of these few lifting you -
...

So this is goodbye my treasured friends.
As we say goodbye tears flow
Not of sadness,
Tears as we smile and cherish the unforgettable
...

A delicate butterfly – wings velvety black
Splashed with brilliant shades of warm orange
Almost floating but flutters just enough to remain in motion
Gently resting momentarily lightly caressing and tasting
...

If you love someone is it supposed to hurt?
Why does love always bring so much sadness?
Split seconds flash before my eyes
As momentary as the click of a camera
...

The sky grew darker,
awarness of the separation of mind, body and soul,
all now heading in different directions.
...

As the winter sun shines on the windows,
warming my skin,
I sit and stare,
...

There are days when I sit alone and wonder
I ask myself “Just who the hell am I really? ”
There are so many years I seem to of lost
Were my eyes and ears closed?
...
