Energy, chapter I


A little angel arrived,

Magically,

A little torn,

Unfortunately.

 

Caused your parents,

A lot of heartache,

Confusion in their child rearing skills,

So much at stake. 

 

Albert, the pet cat,

Who adored you,

Stroked his love,

Protected you. 

 

Pointing at his stomach,

Mystically,

Pointing at his stomach,

Lovingly.

 

The same,

With mum and dad,

Enthralled by your love,

Trying to understand it all, made you both mad. 

 

Pointing at your stomach's,

So magically,

Pointing at your stomach's,

Gave a clue to thee.

 

A rare form of synesthesasia,

Endowed upon you,

A rare form of a magical gift,

Seeing energy in people through and through. 

 

Out there in public was too much of a fright,

Too much noise, so bright.

Inside was warm, full of love too,

Inside was protection from the both of you. 

 

Learned to see the signals from you,

Learned to teach that its not against you,

Learned to step back from it all,

Learned to see the energy and not fall. 

 

Now a little older, 

Privately,

Now a little smarter,

Emotionally.

 

Get to see,

The energy within you,

Get to see

What it means to be you,

 

This gift that,

Posses within me,

Wasn't what I wanted,

Feel a little cursed to be me. 

 

Yet I can see,

Truthfully

Who you are,

Just not within me. 

 

Appreciate this sight,

Other's would love to see,

Sometimes it's a delight,

To see the magic within thee.

 

Other times it hurt's,

To see the pain in you.

Sometimes the colour,

Is too dark to see this through. 

 

The painful reality,

That life can be tough,

Seeing people are hurting inside,

They can no longer bluff. 

 

Parent's told me to keep this to me,

No one can know this,

Not even your best friend,

Or husband to be. 

 

Still so young,

Brightfully,

Have to watch my tongue.

Going into the military.

Like a lot of us been through shitty parts in my life. In 2018 I was living in London, attending a part time acting school. It was a great time. Also I was presenting at an event, one of the tutors at the acting school took me under his wing and mentored me. Part of that process he taught me how to write poetry, or at least express myself through it. Now, I write a poem every day, I write for a hobby. I've had a varied career, the only thing I can say is writing is the best things I've ever done. I absolutely love it. Have got 14 publications on a short story website and launching my own website in December 2022, http://www.PeterGreenhall.com Feel free to add any comments. I hope you enjoy reading my poems as much as I enjoyed putting them together.
