Hey there, readers, writers, and new friends! I write as D.L. Bogdan and Darcey Bonnette in the UK. Thus far, my work centered around the intrigues of the Tudor court, however now I'm shifting gears to new eras after a long hiatus. You can find my work on Amazon! #historicalfiction #author
Arctic wind whips me
The polar vortex is here
Sunlit sparkling snow

Drizzle the syrup
On the best pancakes on earth
And I'll be filled up

I wish to be #emboldened
become #unmoored,
instead of #rotting here,
#comfortably,
upon the shore

where I gaze out
at all the chances
I don't explore

a desire
to throw off
#weekly #demands,
get lost in #nature

to be more
than a stoic fixture
in a lifestyle
I no longer
understand.

you looked at me
with choiceless eyes
uncoiled the rope
& said I must now be
unmoored

my sails unraised
I've one foot in the boat
& one on the dock
my arm curled around a piling
for I do not wish to leave

I can feel hamstrings stretch
my arm slips
the hand grips

how long
'til I'm adrift?

Country is aflame
Good and evil entangling
In this fight for life

You left me unmoored
Me, who was so blindsided
But I WILL survive

I haven't been on much as of late, as I suffered from a severe illness I'm recovering from. I miss the poetry group and can't wait to contribute and see your work again ❤️

Ah, the evil one
you know me, and I know you.
Lone wolves in battle.

In between sparkle
Wrapped in a heavy, thick fog
Waiting on New Years.

I crave the autumn
Oh, but to last a long while
Cider and crisp leaves

I mend what you broke
rising from despair's ashes
scarred and yet stronger

In the waiting room
I ponder what healing means
it's much more than this

It's never too late
for reinventing yourself
take heart and start fresh

Your love was a trap
but I found the secret door
and set myself free

The reek of her sin
consumed her with such deep guilt
there seemed no mercy

Love feels alien
the kind that's steady and calm
I yearn and I fear

how I longed to believe them
delusion showed me

Tearing at the veil
longing for the mystical
Divine direction

Lying by the hearth
snuggling an old fluffy dog

fields surrounded by brightness

You think that you win
with material triumphs
and an empty soul

I keep your letters
stained with my tears in a drawer
locked in from my heart

converging for their night dance

plunging into the ocean
