Author’s Note
It gives me great joy to present my
second poetry book that is comprised of raw feelings that I have
witnessed from others or felt myself. Thanks again for reading my
work. I hope it motivates, gives voice to words unspoken, puzzles,
and brings new thoughts to you.
With Affection,
Princess Kelly
Tarnished
Please leave me
alone, it is dark here
There’s no sun in my life
I have
fought so hard day by day
Against this unending strife
With my hands curled
up in tight fists
I have tried so in vain
Sought to diminish
all of this
But all it does is rain
I feel so weary,
down and out
Noticing the huge drain
Occurring without any
doubt
Within my tarnished brain
FED Up
Let us face the
disgusting fact
Leaders have led us wrong
We as a nation need
to act
Band together so strong
Uphold our given
Bill of Rights
That this nation did earn
We need to never stop
feeling
Believing in the yearn
To make our days so
much better
And surrounded by light
We need to persevere for
good
And have this in our sight
To Live For
Live for each other
and do care
Remember to do deeds
Out of a selfless loving
heart
Be a person who leads
Others to be mindful
people
To do things with a view
Of kindess, joy, and
compassion
To be one of the few
Who do stand out in
the large crowd
Be one willing to share
The time necessary to
show
That one truly does care
Our Downfall
Will we be
humanity’s downfall?
Ruin ourselves and our land
Destroy,
ravage, and deplete it
By our very own hand
Believe we can do as
we please
Taking, not giving heed
To all of the portentous
signs
We ignore the dire need
To take care and
nourish this world
Should be seen as a must
Strive to mend the
wounds that exist
And enforce what is just
Boundless Love
The moment I saw and
held you
The very first time I gazed
I knew what God’s love
for us was
And I was so amazed
The love for my son
was so strong
A glimpse of God’s pure love
I did so fully
understand
The enduring ways of
God’s love that
goes on forever
Despite our sinful fall
I feel the same way for
my son
Love that won’t end at all
There is no sin too
great for me
To stop me being there
God does feel this too in
his heart
For he also does care
Broken
Losing my grip and
composure
I so kneel before thee
My life is broken and
shattered
It is hard not to see
That I am lost and
all alone
In such a state of craze
On the verge of
disaster
Wandering in this maze
Guide me out of this
awfulness
Lead me from my demise
Shed some light on what I
should do
Coming to your surmise
A Star Reflects
The glitz and
glamour of a star
Being the kind of type
Loved and adored by
the masses
Taking in all the hype
Hearing the greeting
fans scream out
Straining their necks to see
What the commotion
is about
Trying to gaze at me
I am found in print
everywhere
Of what I’ve worn and said
Still a true Hollywood
starlit
Long after I am dead
New Beginnings
A drink, toast to
new beginnings
For it is very near
Tis the time to much
celebrate
The upcoming new year
A moment to reflect
events
That occurred in the past
To look forward to the
future
Coming to us at last
To renew and change
for the good
Make the way for others
To have love and joy in
their lives
Seek this my dear brothers
Trying Out
One spot is all that
there is left
With many wanting it
I do feel cast down and
hopeless
Dwelling in a black pit
Looking around at
the people
I wallow in my state
Depressed, I face reality
That
for sure is my fate
I am not good enough
for it
I so feel in my heart
I will have to get over this
And
will in due time part
Excruciating
Have you ever been
in much pain?
Any move makes you writhe
Shout out in agonizing
cries
Every time you do breathe
Tortured, beyond
comparison
This is your sorry life
To try to endure the
torment
This everlasting strife
To feel bodily hurt
and pangs
That do not ever end
Helpless in constant
suffering
Losing hope, one does tend
Get Away
I want to be free,
not tied down
Be content and at peace
Thoughts of fleeing away
from you
Never do stop and cease
Dreams of leaving
this awful place
I ponder and do brace
The idea of venturing
out
To go without a trace
It bring s a slow
smile to my face
Escaping from it all
The trials of ordinary
life
Will I answer the call?
Flower Power
Flowers touch us in
countless ways
Light a spark in the heart
And brighten our
upcoming days
They force sadness to part
Instilling
sensations of glee
Their loveliness and scent
Offering us hope
and comfort
The pretty flowers hint
Flowers are
beautiful and adored
They give off a power
To those many that
have chosen
To gaze at them this hour
Falling Short on Beauty
Feeling pretty is
very hard
Around a lovely face
I am so very low and small
Tend
to fade is the case
Blending in is my
endeavor
I so avert my eyes
Not understanding why others
Still
see me as a prize
For I am no
beautiful dame
Most agree describes me
I am rather mary jane
plain
This is what I do see
Go Unnoticed
They do not notice
me at all
I look on and do gaze
Feeling so discouraged and
down
I slide into a daze
Imagining that I am
seen
Sought after and held dear
Mentioned and thought of by
others
I am wanting to hear
To be worthwhile and
to matter
To get out of this rut
Believing I can overcome
this
Surely making the cut
Meandering Water
Water cascades down
the crevices
Reflecting off the light
Seeking hidden places
among land
Providing sheer delight
For those who drink
and gurgle it
Feeling refreshed and cool
Those who seek to wash
away dirt
By resting in its pool
Water is life giving
to us
And flushes out the grime
It purifies and makes us
pure
Restores us to our prime
Rooted in Class
Doing nothing but
being there
Rooted in a calm spot
Firmly established in the
place
Painstakingly to rot
Overcome by feelings
of no worth
Watching others go by
Self-absorbed and full of
themselves
Not hearing my soft sigh
The sigh of pure
resignation
Of the terrible fate
Which is brought steadfast
upon thyself
At a breathtaking rate
Breaking Down
Feeling a
pinpointedly ache
A distressful plagued mind
Abusive words
playing over
Having me chained I find
To my own despair
and sadness
Wasted away by tears
Overwhelmed by life’s
enduring pains
I face so many fears
Swept away by
gnawing thoughts
No escape within sight
Scraping at my damaged
raw heart
I fall losing the fight
Gaining Measure
Moon drips beams of
light on water
Ripples form, cream the shore
Waves pounce,
rolling over each other
Holding fast to their core
Scanty objects that
lure away
Have become lost treasure
In the dark turmoil of the
water
They have gained true measure
Of worth yet to be
known for sure
If found time will so tell
Their true value be
of any
Enough for one to sell
Rise to the Call
A ray of sun calls
us to rise
To make a certain choice
And decide to go through
the day
With hope, love, and rejoice
To seek and find for
our dear hearts
Tremendous love and peace
That we are created
for indeed
In a way to not cease
Love and peace
coming from within
Shall not be caged and bound
But rather be
loosened free
To be observed and found
By those who
painstakingly crave
To feel that they are cared
Matter much by
others to them
Tis what needs to be shared
