Chin Up

Note: My try at writing a Petrarchan sonnet. Free verse is getting kind of dull, I felt like writing more of a structured poem.

Chin Up
By: Heather Daphne Cadlaon

My emotions kept tight
Inside my heart
A brand new start
The future is bright
My patience grows stronger
Oh, what love shows
By how it grows
Even if the waiting is longer

Though your hands are full
I will always be here
To stay by your side
The days will grow dull
But have no fear
I am ready for this ride

Ode to Martha (Time of the Month)

Note: "Martha" is an inside joke between my friends and I. It pretty much means to menstruate aka period! Haha, I was bored and my cramps bothered me so much that I decided to write a poem about my period.

Ode to Martha (Time of the Month)
By: Heather Daphne Cadlaon

My mood's swinging
Like a monkey
Moving oh so swiftly
From branch to branch

My stomach throbs
Silently screaming
Asking for the searing pain
To please stop

Gentle waterfalls
Quickly change
Into a deadly flood
In mere moments

Thank the Lord
That this kind of thing
Only happens
Once a month

Kiss

Kiss
By: Heather Daphne Cadlaon
Dedicated to: Stephen Jansen Torres

Your warmth is so welcoming
My head against your chest
Holding me in your arms
My one wish
Is for time to stop
Don't ever let me go

The stillness of the moment
So simple but precious
Your hands are suddenly
Put into sudden motion
My head is tilted
To your intense gaze

You kiss my forehead
Flash backs consume me
Our memories
The love we shared
Things that can be understood
By you and me

You kiss my nose
The fragrance of your skin
Entrances me
And makes me hungry
For more
You spoil me

You kiss my lips
I can't help but
Love you more
Than anything
Your value to me
Is beyond wealth

A playful smile forms
My heart longing
Just for you
Leaning forward
Cupping your face
I kiss you

Ever so tenderly
