Well

 














I keep it close to my chest 

Holding onto it like a newborn child 

Maintaining it's importance in my life 

Praying and meditating on it 

Believing with the faith that grows in my bosom 

Understanding that the living word is a well 

That never goes dry 



Love always, Esha  <3

 

Been Gone

Sorry I've been gone for awhile 

I've been working, praying, staying focused 

Driving quickly to the next place 

Getting over the traumas of yesterday 

While utilizing every second that leads to a new tomorrow 

Preparing for the unseen blessings 

And challenges that set my heart ablaze 

Building the bricks of contentment one row at a time 

While fighting for a day and a moment that is truly mine 



Love always, Esha

Headache

My head hurts 

It pounds like a jackhammer at a construction site 

Sore temples throb and keep me awake throughout the night 

Alieve provides no relief 

Tylenol has failed to help my ache 

The pressure mounts 

And my pulse quickens 

As my light sensitivity increases 

But I smile still 




Love always, Esha  <3

Blue Feelings

Listen to the reading of this poem on Hope Speaks Podcast


Photo by Isom Jacobs 


I was painted blue with your love. But I'll get back up again. Only to swim in the sea of another's eyes. To sail in the dreams of a new lovers mind. To forget about the memories I choose not to remember. To push away the old feelings I'd rather leave behind. You are the cushion of old familiarity like a couch I became use to. The groves of a body settled into place. Accustomed to seeing your form and caressing your face. But when I needed comfort. I couldn't find you. No more swimming in blue oceans looking for the end of rising tides. It's time for a new adventure my heart is in need it something I can call mine.


Love always, Esha <3

A Friend

Jesus is so good. 

When I am in trouble, when my heart is in need he comforts me. 

Showing love and mercy. 

I'm glad I have a friend that will never leave 



Love always, Esha  <3

Poetry Workshop November 16th

Yesterday's event was awesome. I wanna thank everyone that showed up. The next workshop is on November 16th. I hope to see you there. :-)



 

It's Been Awhile: Update

Greetings, 

I know I haven't been posting as much as I normally do on this blog. But around the holidays sometimes I get a bit sad. Thinking about the things that once we're that will never be. Looking at the past that came and went so easily. Reminiscing over the desires of yesterday tends to trouble me. But I turn around anyway to catch a glimpse of my childhood and wonder how things changed so quick? Or maybe it was me? Growing and developing in ways that I could never foreseen. Most recently, I have learned to focus on the little things. They make me happy. The small triumphs in the complex web of everyday life. Once you look past the struggle and strife. There are always tidbits of gladness in the seams of melancholy moments. 


Love always, Esha  <3

A Smile


This poem is read on the Hope Speaks Podcast Season 2 Episode 3 


Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay 


It's important 

Rarely is it unnecessary 

You can put it in your back pocket 

And pull it out when you need 

It is equivalent to sunshine falling in the evening 

A smile goes a long way 

God blessed you with the ability to press forward on a rainy day 

Never let the cloud cover get in your way 

Be hopeful that even in the midst of your storm 

Everything will be okay 



Love always, Esha  <3

Fine Wine

Image by Vinotecarium from Pixabay 


Yesterday has passed away and faded into the background

If memorable it ages like fine wine 

Today is the result of all the decisions made the day before

The present is the gift that keeps on giving

Tomorrow is the new day we prepare for

It is full of wonder, excitement and opportunity

We run towards it with hope, joy and laughter  



Love always, Esha  <3
