Most people think
Love is all butterflies
And flushed faces

But I find real comfort
In love feeling more like

Sunshine wrapped in a hug

#poetry #cheritas #love #mrrabbit #jlh

Once upon a time
There was a knight
And a healer

And they fell in love
But neither could confess

So the healer sacrificed herself

#poetry #cheritas #tragedy #mrrabbit #jlh

It is easy for tyrants to pretend they want peace
While sitting inside their steel towers

Protected with the blood
Of the young and brave
Who venture forth into wastelands

A thousand reincarnations are insufficient to atone

#poetry #cheritas #war #conscience

When I was in 8th grade
I lost my last school spelling bee
At the word “conscientious”

And the irony I find today
Is how very few people in the world

Are conscientious without ego

#poetry #cheritas #morality

Sometimes I wish
I was a bird

So that I could fly away
From concrete jungles
And steel empires

To chase the dying sun

#poetry #cheritas #depression #trapped #imagination

The sky is shrouded tonight

No silver sheen of the moon
No canvas of twinkling stars
Just clouds without rain

But just because I can’t see them
Doesn’t mean they aren’t there

I find #cheritas are great for packing power into small punches. Dabble away! Here's some basic info: www.thecherita.com #poemsabout #Chandeliers @alanparrywriter.co.uk @thebrokenspine.co.uk

🙏Phil. This one exercised me. I had to iron out wrinkles until the right sequence of 'how to show it' images congealed. I like the result but love most the challenges of such a process.

I woke up at dawn today
Just before the sun

And spent some time
Laughing with my mom
As we drove around

And I felt like 10 again

#poem #cheritas #mom

You know it’s a messed up world

When tyrants are worshipped
As they sit upon their golden throne

While the working masses
Pay with sweat, blood and tears
Merely for the right to exist
