There is no pleasure in loss:
As I weep—I miss you,
The way you stood by me;
In my flaws—you loved me,
Truthfully I don’t deserve your love
Sometimes I get scared;
In your absence,
void now befriends me;
Some smile, and wish you goodbye:
as if, it was, a Victory,
To loose love that I could not see,
Right next to me: Until rain flows,
Gently and allows me to see,
that grace has shown me mercy!

This bio will be short. I am a graduate of Medgar Evers College. Mother of three and grandmother. I love to read and write poetry.
To those who have been a great support in reading my website and those who just came across this poetry this will be the ending of my poetic journey for now. I hope there will be a new chapter in my life that will be a success and inspired people to be far better in their thoughts, words and deeds. I am working on myself and it’s been hard.... yet I am getting there. When I began my poetry, I felt so deeply inspired. Now when I write I just write (feeling burned out of all that has occurred and is occurring) and I am feeling as if my poetry isn’t moving in the manner that I feel it should because I have not place myself in a position to be active reading my poetry at live venues for my own personal reason. I wanted to thank those who took the time to read my poetry especially my love ones. Thank you for being on the journey with me. Peace and blessings.
