River Undone

I have been writing poetry ever since I was a little girl, love for the written expression is the most profound part of my being. River Undone is my latest work, and yes if you catch that note in my writing it’s very much a voice of my feminist heart ❤

I am a river undone 

I am a melody unsung 

I am a story interrupted 

I am a soul corrupted 

I am an instinctive journey 

I am the sound of money 

My voice is a whisper 

My heart is a treasure 

I am a woman wild

Footloose headstrong fierce destiny’s child

I shine like a thousand suns

Lighting the sky for unknown reasons 

I am a river and an ocean

I am a therapy and a potion

I am magic most vivid 

I am a fantasy you have lived

I am not to be tamed

I am a pagan unshamed

I am the heart of a dragon

An enigma no one can fathom 

I am dark as well as light

Wickedly wrong and wondrously right 

I am a flower goddess 

Rising from the touch of my own caress

I am a verse forgotten

deemed dark and forbidden 

But I flourish every day 

In spite of what they say 

In the hearts of lovers 

In the sound of waves

In a loving gaze 

In the thrill of a chase 

I am every where 

In atoms molecules and rays

Hidden in plain sight 

My philosophy takes flight 

I am the yin to every yang 

A song that the ocean sang 

I am a river undone 

I am a melody unsung..

  1. Beautifully written! It takes talent to not only express yourself, but to do it well, in language people can understand and relate to – and you have accomplished both here. I think each of us is an enigma, if we really stop to think about all our “sides” that compete for dominance!

    1. Thank you so much for such a thoughtful message, I am happy you could relate to it. I feel that when emotions flow they can be well represented in the form of poetry, and then in agreement with your thought, we do have so many facets to our personalities, each unique in itself.
