Sheryl's Poetry

 

A poets wish

Weather it takes only minutes , or hours starring at this page.

I sit here alone until my heart is free from it's cage.

For I have been sent on a journey, a mission if you will.

To share with you the wondrous words that cause a heart to still.

I have no wish to sensor the poems that I write.

For they tell the story of my struggles as I go threw life.

I write from my emotions , for a poem cannot tell a lie.

My wish only to touch your soul , and cause your heart to fly!

 

Poetry

Poetries the love I seek, for it comes from hearts both strong and meek.

The heart a gateway to ones soul, threw which emotions overflow.

Emotions so pure and true they can't help but touch the heart in you!

 

The Definition

A form of control.

Being forced to play a role.

Use of threats and violence to create fear.

Seeing you cut off from everything and anyone near.

Each episode only gets more grim.

Desperately wanting to get away from him.

 

Abused

Abused is a vile and hideous place.

Entrapped by the fear lost in disgrace.

Locked indoors looking to get out.

Screaming inside wanting to shout.

People all around but no one to hear.

Only surviving , silenced by fear.

Waiting for the day whenever it maybe.

That it all goes away and you are set free.

 

The Fear

You can't possibly imagine unless you've been there yourself.

Living with an abuser is like being in hell.

Like any normal family , you want to live out your dreams.

Until the end you'd never guess things weren't as they seemed.

Control is what physiologists have named this game.

It starts out with put-downs and calling her names.

The abuser gets his kicks out of the control.

And slowly molds the woman into playing the role.

One minute a gentalman so loving and kind.

The next a monster beating her blind.

Her life soon revolves in constant fear.

Wondering how can he do this then say " I love you my dear".

He tells her it her fault threw something she's done.

If it wasn't for her it wouldn't have to be done.

The constant put-downs soon start to eat at her spirit.

She believes it's her fault when she constantly hears it.

He says if there's a problem she must talk to him.

If she where to talk to others the result would be grim.

With arms full of groceries , she walks threw the door.

Seconds later she is dropped, hitting the floor.

"Where have you been? Look how your dressed!"

"Get up off that floor and clean up this mess!"

Small little eyes peep threw their door.

Watching their mother pick the groceries up off the floor.

She is no longer allowed out of the home.

Feeling so helpless, and terribly alone.

How does one rid herself of this fear?

When it sleeps right beside her , so very near.

Oh, how much she would love to do him in.

But that would make her no better then him.

 

I love you but...

I love you but, your stupid and really not worth my time.

Your beautiful but, you know the saying love is blind.

I care about you but, I want to hurt you so I'll say whatever I please.

I need you but, your not worthy of someone as good to you as me.

I love you but...

 

The Person

The person that you see , isn't even real.

Although she's always smiling she never really feels.

She knows she's real pretty , she walks with style and grace.

Othere's dare not laugh at her , lest she knock the smiles right off their face.

Although she is as tough as nails, and packs a mighty clout.

If you are a friend in need she'll always help you out.

The person that you see, isn't even real.

She has trouble trusting othere's with what she really feels.

Although there have been a few that have made it in.

They all end up breaking her heart time and time again.

Sometimes life is livable with a smile that isn't real.

Because the more a person is hurt, the easier it is not to feel.

 

To what do I owe this pleasure

To what do I owe this pleasure of you coming here today?

Do you not have some where else to go , another mind with which to play?

I do not know why on earth you refuse to take a hint.

I'm sure the space between your ears must be filled with lint.

Although I've tried for years and years to straighten out your head.

I know now the only way you'll straighten out is from rigamortis when your dead.

To say you love me at my door is sure to get you squat.

Because frankly my dear coming from your mouth that doesn't mean a whole hell of allot!

To what do I owe this pleasure? Hurry up, out with it . I haven't got all day.

For the quicker you get it out, the faster you'll go away!

 

 

Within my little castle

I feel safe within my little castle.

For the walls are nice and high.

It is dark within my little castle.

All built up for me from passers by.

It is cold within my little castle.

As there is no feeling there.

I can never be hurt within my little castle.

A hermit never gets close enough to care.

There is no color within my little castle.

Each brick forged from hurt and pain.

I am lonely within my little castle.

Will I ever be strong enough to venture out again?

If I should let you within my little castle.

Would you promise to keep me warm?

Once within my little castle.

Will you help me make some windows,

or just cause more walls to form?

 

A selfless heart

You cared for me when I felt pain,

yet loved me enough to let me go.

It was that selfless part within your heart.

Which sparked my love for you to grow.

If by chance it was gods will,

it's not ours to know.

For now by fate two selfless hearts,

now have the chance to flow.

 

It must be love

When I'm with you the world seems so right.

I have no worries cuddling with you at night.

Your so kind, loving, and understanding with me.

It must be love , what else could it be.

When you leave I wish you where here.

It feels so good holding you near.

Your touch holds me fast , there's no way I can flee.

It must be love, what else can it be.

I cried a prayer you answered by name.

You showed me your love , and that sparked the flame.

Our lives now entangled, your all that I see.

It must be love , what else could it be.

Although my love , I have but one more prayer.

It is that together forever we'll share.

Are you willing to spend eternity with me?

It must be love what else could it be?

 

The Forest

Sitting within the forest deep listening to her sounds.

Slowly there appears to me gods creatures all around.

Listening to the rustling leaves, by which a gentile breeze does blow.

All my worries carried away with it's subtle flow.

A chipmunk scurries threw a tree.

Sitting upon a branch not far from me.

Stopping only to return my stare.

He scampers off without a care.

As I sit here in this wood.

I'm surrounded by all that's good.

Awe struck by her purity.

At one with gods creativity.

 

The pure of heart

Rest easy my love, for you have opened your heart to me.

Now, a witness to it's beauty our love has become one.

Our hearts pumping as one.

It's blood a rich red.

Flowing throughout, cleaning old wounds inflicted by others of less purity.

It is only my nature my love.

To open my veins to those of less purer blood.

using my heart to cleans , and heal their wounds,

weather or not their cuts are from others or self inflicted.

I have been blessed with a curse my love.

For I can see the purity in every soul no matter how black the blood of their infected wounds.

Tis this purity that drives me to strengthen there weakened hearts.

Alas my love this over worked heart has finally found a blood as pure as it's own.

So rest easy, as our love strengthens with every beat of the heart.

 

Nature

Nature is the balance by which all life lives and dies.

Those that can see her true beauty , and treat her with respect.

Are shown her many secrets to a truly joyous life.

 

Defined Love

Caring is something that once given is always remembered.

Friendship is a loyalty that can ride out the roughest of storms.

Trust once given or received is meant to be cherished for it bonds two souls for a lifetime.

Loves is the joy that comes when two spirits share all of the above.

 

Thoughts of togetherness

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Tis then my thoughts start to wonder.

About the many memories we share.

Treasured thoughts of loving care.

All the goodness in you I see.

The caring things you've done for me.

Over all these feelings my heart starts to flow.

As I begin to miss you so.

I close my eyes to find you there.

Embracing me with gentle care.

Your loving caress flowing free.

Wave after wave flows over me.

Alone the minutes tick by so slow.

Seeding heartwarming thoughts which start to grow.

Spanning the distance no matter how far away.

Until together we stand again one day.
