Tired, teary eyes,
I know this feeling.
Tense, angry body,
I’ve seen this before.
I’m sliding down a slippery hill,
Pulled back in by a force I've already met.
Torn down, tripped up in a familiar place,
Slipping into somewhere I do not want... – by Kailey Norris | 6 Views added 28 days ago

Time is my glass corridor,
I can see all, but only move in one direction.
The sound of my footsteps echo,
Sounds of replayed memories muffled by glass.
Time has robbed me.
Time is a shrinking room.
Getting smaller, getting thinner.

What would I give for a silent mind?
What would it take for a peaceful thought?
What should I hide for a moment of my own?
What would I show to get someone on the phone?
Would I give it all I've got?
Would I take what isn't mine?
Would I... – by Kailey Norris | 3 Views added 1 month ago

I feel my heartbeat through an empty chest,
Calm is a state of mind.
A state of being.
Physically, calmness is the ability to block the mind,
Focus on slow breaths and smooth... – by Kailey Norris | 2 Views added 1 month ago

My words flow from an overflowing sink,
My direction of thought an unknown path,
My mind a twisting tree root,
My ideas a snapping branch in the wind.
I walk with unknown eyes,
I listen through foreign ears,
I write with spinning thoughts,

Every wave overpowers the previous,
Each stronger than before.
An endless cycle of crashing upon tides rolling back.
They seen to constantly strengthen,
But the beach will never be overtaken.
Moments of strength will fade,
Making the next much... – by Kailey Norris | 2 Views added 1 month ago

Watching the sun lengthens a single moment.
There is no regret of the past,
No anxiety for the future.
A moment of beauty
A method to “forget”.
Forget mistakes made,
Paths taken.
Forget upcoming decisions,
New experiences.... – by Kailey Norris | 5 Views added 1 month ago

Writing brings opportunity,
Just as thinking brings understanding.
Fate brings hope,
Just as it brings peace.
Still, each has a curse
Writing brings reality,
Just as thinking brings worry.
Fate brings confusion,
Just as it brings... – by Kailey Norris | 2 Views added 1 month ago

The separation between land and sky,
Waves and clouds,
Mountains and wind,
trees and birds.
The horizon can never be reached,
A separation that will never be grasped.
What is seen is what is known,
The question’s beyond the line.... – by Kailey Norris | 2 Views added 1 month ago

The sunset,
A collection of color,
A painting of thought.
Pastel purples bruise the sea in warmth,
Layers of orange and wispy white as if painted in cotton.
Yellow sparks of inspiration blend through deep red beauty.... – by Kailey Norris | 2 Views added 1 month ago

Why does the sky stay lit after a sunset?
Before a sunrise?
If the light is below our horizon,
how is it still seen?
Where does the black of night come from?
When does a star go from invisible to shining... – by Kailey Norris | 5 Views added 1 month ago

No limits, no Borders.

Forgetfulness is a cabin on the beach,
A rocking chair on a pier.
A sunset over a sailboat.
The ocean's tide swallows fear and worry,
It's salty mist spraying serenity and rest.
The crash of waves bring power from stormy seas,
Lapping of... – by Kailey Norris | 7 Views added 1 month ago

The mindset of hope and of a child are much alike,
as if true serenity and innocence are connected.
The comfort of a child in their mother's arms is what we long for inside ourselves,
a sense of safety and peace within our own body.

Winter winds,
Chills sent through my body.
Falling leaves,
Memory of what once was
Frosted glass,
A reminder, I am outside the window.
Chattering teeth,
Secluded from the warmth inside.
Winter winds,
Never dim their fire.
Smoke still... – by Kailey Norris | 52 Views added 1 month ago
