A Poet’s Daily Prayer If there is no poetry in me today no tales of wisdom if i am lost for words if i have no internal perception on how I believe things should be then today there is no me If I can’t articulate some pain or love felt deep down inside If I can’t express colorful metaphors of what I wished or dreamt for or today there is just me Then I beg for the power of creation from my creator Because I am nothing without my daily poetry A Dancer’s Daily Prayer Music please lift me from … Continue reading Poetry From the Archives of 2007…

A Heart Captured

May 9, 2011October 16, 2012 Sharea Farmer, LCSW

A Heart Captured I yearn for you in my thoughts. As if my mind has omitted all possible reasoning. When I see you I speak softly. Trying to hide my feelings such pain inside. You clearly maintain your stance. This is were you belong, you are not those other guys. I think to myself is this not my heart to keep closed and yours to leave alone? I try to shake loose your powerful grip. Stand firm to maintain my balance. And still you continue to reach out your hand. In hopes I extend mine. Is not this my moment … Continue reading A Heart Captured

Take Me Dancing

May 6, 2011October 16, 2012 Sharea Farmer, LCSW

Take Me Dancing Can we meet at an outside festival or at a place that has a dance floor? Can we let the drums and music move us or have the DJ play our song once more? I don’t wish to walk, talk, nor hold hands. A sister would simply like to dance. Can we wind and grind like we lost our minds? Lose ourselves in the music and … Continue reading Take Me Dancing

Chance Encounter

May 3, 2011October 16, 2012 Sharea Farmer, LCSW

I see you from a far, I smile. I adjust my head to fall into your chest. A hug so easy and right. Being this close, I am forced to acknowledge your heartbeat. This much is true, I’ve been waiting for an excuse to be here with you. Yes, I know it has been way too long, for me to recall so much detail of your touch. As I slowly remove my head from your chest. I look up to be greeted by those beautiful brown eyes. Not to mention your scent is heavenly, just as I remember. I attempt … Continue reading Chance Encounter

Picking Up The Pieces

May 2, 2011September 24, 2012 Sharea Farmer, LCSW

Picking Up The Pieces I looked in those big brown eyes, they were just so beautiful! The hands that you placed over mine showed me you were a man. I believed every word you spoke; you were really that fine. Told stories to my friends about how you made me feel just by being around. It may have sound like bragging but that was never my intent. I really just couldn’t help myself; in my heart I just knew that I would always be your girl. I looked at your smile. It was so full, but it fooled us all. … Continue reading Picking Up The Pieces

Still

April 26, 2011October 28, 2012 Sharea Farmer, LCSW

You stand still I turn to catch a glimpse Aware of this motionless moment Reality, now seems to be a word I can’t begin to understand Our timing, always off just as I feared; What more is there for us to do? I tell you what I can’t afford. Is another broken heart. Your silence Tells me you recognize the truth. You don’t want to be the cause Of my broken heart. You stand still As if you have no idea What move to make next? I turn to catch a glimpse. you walk away; Finally, Movement. Continue reading Still

A Mother’s Place

April 19, 2011September 24, 2012 Sharea Farmer, LCSW

You lay on my breast as if safety lies between the right and the left You have laid here long enough; my heart beat can’t save you from this world I hold my breath as you remove yourself; if I don’t let you go; who will… The world is not the same without me knowing your plans I can’t breathe but I know you must go and live but remember to rest when you can and if you need, I will be right here..
