Here are two poems I wrote recently:

One Last Step

When you feel the rugged rocks slipping beneath your feet,
And you know you’ve lost the beat,
You tell yourself—
JUST ONE MORE STEP.

When you look around and see nothing but sheets of green,
Shadowed creatures and things not seen,
You tell yourself—
JUST ONE MORE STEP.

When you take a whiff and all you smell is PERSPIRATION,
And you think it’s just your imagination,
You tell yourself—
JUST ONE MORE STEP.

When you start to taste beads of failure dripping down,
Your weakest smile starts to frown,
You tell yourself—
JUST ONE MORE STEP.

When you hear yourself drowning in your own words,
And the path before you fades to a blur,
You tell yourself—
JUST ONE MORE STEP.



You’re about to STOP,
Let it go and DROP,
But you CAN’T.
Not now.

Not after all the struggles you’ve FACED.
The endless days you’ve run and RACED.
To reach the TOP.
And succeed.

JUST ONE MORE STEP.
Sings your heart.
JUST ONE MORE STEP.
You’re at the best part.

VICTORY SLIDES DOWN YOUR THROAT,
YOUR WORRIES DRIFT AWAY AND FLOAT,
A RAINBOW SITS ON YOUR SHOULDER,
REPLACING THAT IMAGINARY BOULDER.

You knew it from the start.
To climb to the stars and beyond,
All you ever needed,

WAS
ONE
LAST
STEP.

Soaring on a Star

My hair…
It falls.
Woven…
Into the emerald grass.

My eyes…
They flutter.
Like a firefly…
In the endless night.

My ears…
They hear.
The moon’s sweet lullaby…
Rocking the world to sleep.

My nose…
It smells.
The crisp scent of starlight…
Beaming down on me.

My mouth…
Breathes in.
The nonchalant, breezy air…
Coated with diamond dusk.
My hands…
They feel.
An invisible rope ladder…
Climbing up to the sky.

Finger by finger
I am lifted up by shadowed wings
Taken above the city
To the land of misty dreams

I am a compass
I am a map
This is my life
And only I hold the key

I’m soaring on a star
Faraway from reality
Where I am free
Where I can reign

This night
Is like a magic carpet
These stars
Are the answer to my destiny

These clouds
Are islands of wishful wonders
Where hidden treasures lie
With my secret paradise

Soon
Rays of dawn prick me
Ending this jubilant journey
At least for tonight

But as I go through the day
I know
Sprinkles of magic trail behind me
Always and forevermore

They are ready anytime
To carry me away
To my nighttime fantasy
Where I am soaring on a star
Hope you enjoyed them! Sorry I have not been posting lately! I will try to more, especially in the summer! Goodnight for now!
