4. And The World Carries On
- By Amy O Connor
- Published: August 2020
in Short Poems

The plates will still shift
and the clouds will still spew.
The sun will slowly rise
and the moon will follow too.

The plates will still shift
and the clouds will still spew.
The sun will slowly rise
and the moon will follow too.

Life’s beauty will continue
to flourish all around,
but now you are gone,
these birds have no sound.

And my heart does not beat.
It is still inside my chest.
My tears keep on falling
and my head will not rest.

But I have no choice only
to move through this life.
Endlessly attempting
to fill this longing that is rife.

5. Drowning
- By Amy O Connor
- Published: October 2020
in Short Poems

They come in waves,
my feelings for you.
And not pretty whitecaps
dancing at my feet.

They come in waves,
my feelings for you.
And not pretty whitecaps
dancing at my feet.
But when I least expect it.
When life seems to be
a quiet stream of continuity.
They come to disrupt.
So forceful they pull me under,
so that I am drowning and once again,
can’t catch my breath.

This is your time

This is your time

This is your time
to be carried by Grace,
out of the matrix

This is your time
to forever change the rest,
to untame, to shift, to lead,
and live blessed.

Just tell her she is perfect in the dark

Just tell her she is perfect in the dark
her light shines
so the whole world can see her heart
hold her tight
so she knows if she ever did fall
you would be there to catch her
you will be there through every storm
love her fiercely
including all her scars
and if she is brave enough
to stand in front of you
broken and fragile
make sure she knows
she is more than enough

When you left,
I immediately deleted your number and pictures

This is my strength.

When you left,
I immediately deleted your number and pictures
and pulled our memories from the wall.
This is my strength.
This is how I know I’ll survive.
I cried as I erased you,
but I erased you anyway.
I wished you back,
but I still opened my hands
and let you go.

Even in those silent moments
You look at me as if I hung the moon

You make me forget that I was ever
bruised or broken.
You look at me as if
I hung the stars

With you,
my wings feel light and free.
Your smile puts all my doubts to sleep.

When I look at you
freedom is what we weave.

We talk a lot about broken hearts.

The hearts that are healing

We talk a lot about broken hearts.
But oh,
what about the aching ones?
The hearts that are healing
but can’t escape the visits of the
cold, sharp
pain gripping their core.
The hearts that appear
whole again
but still experience
the waves of hurt
crash against their soul’s door.
