Circular cycles that spin us around,
and around, and around,
‘til they pull us down.
Down to the depths of our conscious souls,
where we peel back layers to discover our roles.
Those which we play on the stages of life,
and the adventures of... – by Michelle Elise Shock | 47 Views added 1 year ago

Loneliness and aloneness they are similar but not the same. In both you find yourself, but in one you find you’re sane. In one your heart is aching, in the other there’s space for taking. Both can come from hearts breaking. Just one is for... – by Michelle Elise Shock | 12 Views added 1 year ago

You can read heart ache in the lines of one’s face, the same way one can read poetry on paper. Some people fight to erase those memories, but I’m growing to embrace the beauty of the stories told. Why wouldn’t I? I fought to make it through. Those... – by Michelle Elise Shock | 6 Views added 1 year ago

I was an open book
No chapters to spare
You thumbed through each of my pages as if you were touching my naked skin
And with every turn, my soul was bare.
I showed my love through cursive display
bids of affection, I wept, I prayed,
…..you... – by Michelle Elise Shock | 14 Views added 1 year ago

When I lie awake
And listen to my breath
I thought it was you that I longed for
But as the light from distant stars reminded me
I was only searching for my core.
I found my soul again within my wooded tour
and now that I’m through
I don’t... – by Michelle Elise Shock | 14 Views added 1 year ago

As perfect as it feels
It’s never cut to chase
The best things in life take patience, heart, & faith
If you tell me we need time
I’ll let that river flow
I’ve waited this long now
I’ll wait to let it... – by Michelle Elise Shock | 9 Views added 1 year ago

I want to be immersed
But the tides are too strong
I want to soak my skin
But the danger’s not gone
So I’ll stand at the edge
Drink the horizon in
Feeling the sea sprays
Til this love... – by Michelle Elise Shock | 8 Views added 1 year ago

Standing at the edge of the world
The wind holds me.
Like silk ribbons wrapping my skin
I’m embraced just by being.
Never alone, yet the sting of loneliness lay beneath the surface.
Tempered by the cool sprays of the sea, reminding me to come... – by Michelle Elise Shock | 11 Views added 1 year ago

Like wild grasslands, free to sway with the changing winds, yet always in unison.
Like the ocean waves, never contained by glass walls. The tides can stretch as far out and in as they please, despite always traveling in sets.
Like the tallest... – by Michelle Elise Shock | 9 Views added 1 year ago

To love…. what does that mean?
To me, I think of the ocean. One may try to put the ocean in a bottle, but all you truly obtain is salt water, contained in a tiny glass jar. Once within the bottle, the magic and power behind that naturally... – by Michelle Elise Shock | 6 Views added 1 year ago

From a seed it grew
Neither one knew
But it bloomed
And bloomed
And it grew
And grew.
It broke the ground
And it grew.
Climbing through layers
Shooting past mud
Rupturing ruins
Evolving to love.
Something new
Something scary

Time passes and I wait for the fade.
But despite a poker face, a spades a spade.
Something so pure, born from soul and not fear
Can’t be lost for it’s always near
The most I can do is watch this bloom
And release expectation for “me & you”
