My Poem “Golden”

The golden light of the sun setting
shone through my bedroom window,
as I sat thinking about time,
my life, the world, the universe
and the fact that I am truly blessed
by what I have and what I treasure
more than I could every say...
the blinding light of the sun
that fills my eyes with glorious sunshine
inspires my thoughts and enlightens my soul
and makes me think about what
and who makes me happy every day...
the stream of sunlight that I am graced with
showers me with a purpose
and makes me smile, sigh,
and feel like a child again...
the light of the world that I see is exquisite
and the mysteries of the Multiverse
that I think about as I feel myself
being carried away as if by the tide
of some interstellar ocean of energy
take away any feelings of regret and pain...
the sun will always be there for you,
as the sun had always been there for me,
like the personification of a shepherd
that guides their flock to where they need to be,
at the same time communicating
with light what can never be told...
the glow of daylight,
as it transitions into twilight,
is bright, clear, breathtaking
and shows just how much of life
and everything that we are all bound to
is made up of a spirit that is truly golden.

My Poem “Under your skin”

When someone or something
gets under your skin
it can sometimes be hard
to rid yourself of them...
when someone or something
changes something fundamental about you
it can sometimes be hard
to wipe them clean from your mind...
when you lose someone or something
that gave you the gift of something amazing
when you first met them it can be hard
to try and erase them from your life...
when someone or something
influences you like a drug
it can be hard to detoxify...
when someone or something
fills your heart with love
it can be hard to deny what to you
feels so true it could not be a lie...
when someone or something
leaves their mark upon you
it can be even more indelible than a tattoo
and too deep to ever be seen...
when someone or something
makes you feel better about yourself
than you have felt in your entire life
then you know that though they
may no longer be around physically
who and what they meant to you
will always remain with you
under your skin.
