I close my eyes

And something dies

Reality doesn’t match these lies

I speak with sighs

My heart won’t rise

Held down with hidden ties

I’m not awake

I cannot break

Can’t let go for your sake

Is it fake

This choice I make

To give and give and never take

I love you so

I hope you know

I pray you never meet my inner foe

I want you to grow

To shine and glow

To be who you are and let it show

Between by Toni L.A. Clegg

Broken

Scattered life bits

Laying

Ungathered

Between dream and reality

Why

Three little letters

Sitting

Unspoken

Between me and heaven

Faith

Trusting through pain

Waiting

Unanswered

Between now and then

Closet Confession by Toni Cross

Safe in darkness

Hiding here

Amongst the clothes

of yesteryear

My place of silent

solitude

Haven where none

will intrude

I hide from life

I hide from self

Beneath the shoes

up on the shelf

Closed in by dust

and memories

I freely breathe

where no one sees

Awakened.. by Toni Cross

The child in me awakes

My trust blooms once again

Tentatively

I reach out my toes

And dip them in the water

Age… by Toni L.A. Cross

Age is a sly old stranger

who comes at the close of the day

Age is a regular charmer

who begs to come and stay

Age is like the furniture

you know him like your stairs

Age is a sly old stranger

he’ll catch you unawares
