    THE ECHOES

    When woe arrives
    She instantly seeks sanctuary
    In the secret chambers
    Of her soul
    Where the only sounds
    To be heard
    Are the echoes of
    Self-love:
    "You are kind!"
    "You are smart!"
    "You are beautiful!"
    "You are strong!"
    "You are daring!"
    "You are worthy!"
    "Keep being the best you that you can be!"
    "God only made one of you. You are a one-of-a-kind unique!"

    Fool

    Was I such a fool
    To love a man
    Who couldn’t love me back?
    Or was he the fool
    Who couldn’t love me
    Because of his insurmountable lack?

    a dreamer’s paradise

    Paint me skies in hues of gold
    And sunsets of emerald green
    Paint me a world 
    With heart-shaped fishes
    And rivers that brim
    With hugs and kisses
    Paint me dreamer's paradise
    Where coconuts walk hand in hand
    And jellyfish leave their prints in the sand
    Paint me a world
    Where Mr. and Mrs. Yeti
    Take summer vacations
    To get away from the snow
    And the cold of Mount Evie
    And meet up with Mrs. And Mr. Squatch
    Who is a big baller
    That loves a Rolex watch
    Why sure this sounds silly
    But a dreamer can dream
    Of just about anything
    Even skies laden with hues of gold
    And sunsets of emerald green

    DEPRESSIVE LAMENT

    If this be happiness
    Then give me hell
    I would rather die
    Than rot
    Sometimes I wonder
    Would death be better
    Than this dark torment
    
    If this be happiness
    Then give me hell
    Cause I can no more take
    The dejection and disaster
    She emits
    Whenever she's awake
    Surely, death would be better
    
    If this be happiness
    Then give me hell
    This is my depressive lament
    I know that death
    Would not be better
    Even in this dark torment

    ECHOES IN MY SOUL

    His voice is such pure timbre
    That it awakens echoes in my soul
    The whole of me trembles at the sound
    And I crinkle my toes
    Between us two
    An electric energy flows
    A physical phenomena
    That continues to grow
    Day by day
    And year by year
    Never will they tire, 
    My ears
    Of hearing the pure
    Timbre of his voice
    That awakens echoes in my soul
    As if they had a choice

    A POEM A DAY 99

    March 31, 2021

    I WILL

    Tomorrow, I will rise
    And greet the day with glee
    I will sing a song
    If only just for me
    I will walk with bare feet
    Just to feel the sand between my toes
    I will take in the aroma of the gardenias
    Even though they tickle my nose
    I will lay in the grass
    And watch the sparrows fly
    And count the clouds
    As they gingerly roll by
    I will take a deep breath
    So as to inhale all my God's glory
    I will close my eyes
    And remember when He
    Showed unequivocal love
    Through the death of His Son
    So that I, myself may live
    Oh, what a precious gift
    That only The Father could give

    BLACK RIVER

    Oh, Black River

    Where do you run

    As daylight fades away?

    And from where

    Do you return

    When the sunshine greets the day?

    IN THE MEADOW

    In the meadow
    Beyond the fields
    Where the lilies bloom
    Is the place
    I secret daily
    To visit my future groom
    We hold hands
    And steal kisses
    As we watch the clouds go by
    I see love
    And feel warm inside
    When I gaze into his eyes
    I have never known
    A love as such
    And I almost lost my will
    To remain chaste
    Pure and unsullied
    Takes considerate skill
    
    Simona A. Brinson

    WHEN YESTERDAY WAS LOVE

    When yesterday was love 
    The skies were never grey
    When yesterday was love
    Butterflies flitted throughout the day
    When yesterday was love
    I knew the softness of your kiss
    When yesterday was love
    We were one in bliss
    When yesterday was love
    Harmony filled the room
    When yesterday was love
    I didn’t know the bitterness of gloom

    A POEM A DAY 95

    MY DARKNESS, MY DEMON

    She is my darkness
    She is my demon, too
    She is with me
    When I rise and when I rest
    She follows me throughout the day
    She is my Black Hole Sun
    Every calendar day of the year
    She doesn’t understand the meaning of rest
    She's like a hamster in a wheel
    Running with purpose in my direction
    No matter the detour I may take
    Come rain or shine
    She's there
    Patiently waiting
    For the slightest fissure to appear
    In hopes of making an entrance
    My darkness
    My demon
