I’m a pretty avid writer. I enjoy doing creative essay pieces and things but the assignments at school are few and far between. Plus I have an immense disability in getting myself to write during my spare time. Our assignment this term was to write a poem without any restrictions. I’ve never written a poem in my life so this is my first one. Enjoy.

Awake
In the shelter of silence
And the comfort of dark;
An unfamiliar room.

Soothing sheets draped across
In caring compassion.
Rain-soaked cheeks reflect
In tear-stained windows.

Her hands
Woven shut in sweet tender.
Her eyes
Soft in their embrace.

Awake
In the shelter of silence
And the comfort of dark;
Moments mine to hold but never own.
