Poem -
Forgiveness
Sleep won’t keep me from the dark
Dreams are deemed to shed -
what little light remains inside my broken heart
To let the shadows consume its sullen glow
As I decide to finally let go
Fractured pieces
Entombed within the past
I lay to rest
This heavy chest
of broken dreams
I’ve tried to mask
Allowing my thoughts to finally find peace
I step forward on my new found feet
Released -
I cease to dwell
Giving thanks for all I’ve learnt -
From getting burnt
For the first time my heart begins to swell
As I watch white tulips grow
Where once I fell

Beautiful words, Gwendoline, and very well written, too. I love the lines

Many thanks BM For reading and the vote too. I love the message behind flowers. How all have a meaning and were once used to give a message to someone. White tulips mean forgiveness, purity and a clean slate.

awesome poetry

wonderful poem
Thanks Greg for dropping by and reading this one 😊
Gwen an ethereal quality to your poem which is haunting and beautiful .
A heavily burdened soul reborn and so a Phoenix rises and so subtle to use white tulips a flower like the lily, a flower of purity, to use as a poetic metaphor against your enthralling and so beautifully beguiling backdrop.
Your clean slate, rebirth message is simply heaven to read and floating on air.
Thanks Gwen and full honours bestowed and most respectfully so.
Shaun.x.
