Finding Your Worth: Poetry by Kelly Duarte

Posted by Kelly Duarte on May 21, 2018

It is a faint rainbow in a summer storm
The warm raindrops stick
A pattering on the roof
As you sleep with the windows open

Your Inner Glow – March Poetry

Your Inner Glow - March Poetry

by Kelly Duarte

InShot_20180312_195456433

“Eclipsed”

How much brighter do you think you can get?
Your beams already fall into my eyes
And you burn into my memories
So stunningly
That images of you lay over
The visions of every day.
My dreams are washed out
And replaced with your glow.
I’m not sure if I’m seeing you
In my future
Or seeing a lasting flash
From the camera
Holding the pictures of us
From my past
But I keep my eyes open
Because I’d rather be blinded
By your light
Than to see clear in a darkness
That only happens when you’re gone
