Gobblers by Masticadores publishes “Baseballs”

Dear Friends,

I’m thrilled to announce that my poem “Baseballs” is published today on Gobblers by Masticadores. A huge thank you to Editor, Manuela Timofte, for sharing my work on her highly regarded literary site.

Baseballs

One day the sun guides you
with its glorious rays,
the world spins
in its usual manner,
then out of thin air,
in the blink of an eye,
the cliché is yours,
under a sullen sky,
plans become fractured.

Life is altered
in a skipped heartbeat
that was slow to join
the rhythm of the others.
My emotions
feel awkward.
They seem wilder,
body feels heavy
as though pewter
crowds my veins…

Privy

I hold my breath
2 seconds, maybe 3
electric jolt
fleeting
it came
it went
but my thoughts…

trapped in the
grip of those seconds.

Have you ever had
a heart to heart
with your mind?

Who wins in the end?

Have you ever dipped
into contemplation
about all the ‘whys’
floating in the ether,
looking for a companion
to make them complete
like two intended lovers?

Next time the sun sets
for another night’s repose,
let your eyes turn to
the blanket of stars,
twinkling in their elegance.

Are they privy to some vital
piece of knowledge
that has not been proffered to us?

It seems those seconds necessitated
another heart to heart.

4 am Mind Scribbles

I amble through a palette of pastels
while my mind abates the worry
that ransacks spinning thoughts
Life comes full circle

from her to him to me

Wake up, greet the reward of new light
where autumn finally pervades the air
with battleship gray clouds and a chill
to commence a new season

A Time to Renew

Uncertainty dwells
Effects vary for each soul
Nature reinstates

Joy comes in many forms and Nature is one of them.
I hope you have found yours during these uncertain times.
Lauren 💜💚🧡💙

I Ask This of You

 

after the rain 1 final

There are times when I’ve failed you
allowing my worried mind to guide
Being led deep into the darkness
where fear would reveal its ugly head

I wish to undo negative thoughts
and faithless feelings in my heart
for I am ashamed of my weakness
where tears are mine to shed

I know you walk with me in
each day that I take a new breath
When I see the sun rise once again
I’m in awe of your loving grace

Though uncertainty lies on the path ahead
I’m not chained to these dismal ways
Will you cast forgiveness upon my soul?
With renewed trust, I hope it’s not too late
