The song of her soul was bewitching
She cast out her spell like a net
Ensnaring helpless souls

What It Takes
Gathering strength
to press submit
Picking up roots
to start anew
No one said
Courage comes easy
Country Bumpkin
love for the majestic mountains
appreciation for the rugged terrain
the ability to get down and dirty
doesn’t make me a rube
Strings Attached
Just a husk of a puppet
Left dangling from your strings
They’ve buried under flesh
Taken root through bone
Forced to dance to your tune
Suspicion
I love you
Hazel eyes narrow
Suspicion looming overhead
The reaction involuntary
A compulsory response
Everything has strings firmly attached
Thoughts on Repeat
You should have—
thoughts in my mind
forever on repeat
drawing me into an endless waltz
You should have—
it’s almost like a broken record
with an overwhelming thrum
threatening to drowning me
You should have—
Just a Gentle Reminder
A chill ravaged through her
their shrill screams of torment
the sheer mental anguish
haunting and taunting her
just a gentle reminder
in another life that could
or rather would have been her
A Puzzling Dilemma
She found herself perplexed
at the sheer lack of intelligence
proudly displayed by her peers.
Children’s Laughter
Children’s laughter flitters in the breeze
the sweet jingle like music to my ears
filling my heart with an abundance of love
Fragments
The pain isn’t really pain
it’s more of a vacuum—an endless abyss
nothingness carving out a cavity in her chest
the pieces crumble away as she shatters
-Dominica Bolden
