One Birds Pride

Life of the Single
By Rosalinda
Catch it flying
Soaring quickly
No wall to hold it
Just the sunset to lead it
Only the clouds it's friends
Too prideful for the nest
Too adventurous for others
Only it knows what's best
Free to migrate
Beneath it no gravity
Power in it's eyes
Independence, it's pride
Let it fly swiftly
It values the sky
It needs no companion
Just wants to fly high

A Promise for our child

Belly bouncing I see from above I smile and say hello Kicking and shifting I feel you inside Your personality beginning to be known My dear child, your blood is mine Our connection runs so deep I cant wait to hold you I 'll be your guide This world has so much to see Your father is waiting, he's excited to see his eyes within your own You'll be his princess His heart will grow larger A place for you, permanently sewn We're preparing for you We want to be our best We'll strive for perfection, and fail But our effort will come, day after day Our love for you will always prevail Keep growing my child Ignore all the noise Be peaceful and safe within We'll proudly protect you as long as we can And as long as we both shall live.

A nagging-subconscious request But the room is so quiet This couch is so safe No harm in this bathrobe Or pretend happy face All I hear is the ticking of the wall clock nearby It persists moving forward Passing seconds, without try Oh how will I make it to 3, 6, or 9? To one more day covered, completed, behind I try to remember what it felt like to see Your tired eyes peering over your coffee mug at me Your warm body keeping my cold feet alive Or your voice reassuring me that our day would be bright. Just shift into the sunlight, that shimmer of wa...

Defeating the Demon...

Rosalinda Rumpsa 3/7/17 I measure my sadness day by day My inconsistent nature scares most away The guilt makes it worse A spiral of darkness begins- So dense and heavy, it’s spin can’t stop Im sorry Im not there for you You see, I’m barely standing, I am so weak Be patient- It's not personal This ugly I feel reveals my worst, so I hide away It's a weight that comes to me Like an unwelcome pest It latches and breaks me- an impossible test I must battle it alone I know you want to help me, Stay away, I can’t protect you The damage can spread quickly Let me heal, and then it will go away... but only temporarily Stand outside and wait. I’ll be back shortly. For now let me disappear. I must hide this ugly sight. I'm not feeling well today, my Demon and I must fight.
