MY BELOVED ~ a poem ~ by Rochelle Renee

 ~My Beloved~

Helpless, utterly helpless

Is how I feel

scared

vulnerable

like a little girl

wanting her blanket and teddy

Stripped bare of all my defenses

and armor

that I'd taken to battle

before you arrived

Standing here

in your presence

without an excuse

or anything to hide behind

I am forced

to look in the mirror

and see who I am

and it terrifies me

all my life

I was made to be the strong one

the oldest girl, the tough one,

fight the good fight, they said

and it will all work out for you

well, I'm tired and spent

exhausted

drained

from fighting the good fight

I'm tattered and worn

needing the comfort

and reassurance

of your loving hand

My Beloved

if I'd only known

how painful and real

and raw

this was going to be

I don't know if I'd have chosen you

But in the choosing, I had no choice

for you were hand-delivered

assigned, embedded, and designated

through our DNA codes

and soul contracts

So I sit here

in awe

in fear

and wonder

over you

and hope 

this is not 

all in vain

My Beloved.

KINDRED ~ a poem ~ by Rochelle Renee

 Dear Readers,

Sharing a poem with you that I wrote this past week. Hope you enjoy and feel all the massive love, as we enter this blessed Valentine's realm for 2022.

KINDRED~~

Strange, 

How worlds collide 

yet somehow we blend

we merge

like two lost lonely souls

who have been wandering

for decades

Eerie,

how we look for perfection

yet what we NEED is right before our eyes

we speak to each other's hearts

and flirt with fate

and then we take for granted

the hours, the minutes,

the milliseconds,

that we could be making love

and counting stars.

Funny,

how we think we're experts

on what works in the grand scheme 

of the universe

when all along, three years wasted,

we were KINDRED -- soulmates -- twin souls

all this time

right under our nose

the most magnificent miracle

we could ever imagine

we are flawed, impeccable, ancient

KINDRED

that is what we are

and I want to kiss your scars, bless your failings,

and fall at your feet

just so you can see the beauty

that is you

and only you.
