Lauren M. Hancock Poetry and Prose
Where I can feel at home…
I escape into a land of slumber, where I softly achieve my goal, to forget and feel nothing, I am enveloped by reaching fingertips of diamonds and solid gold. They caress me with a richness I’ve never known, toy with me, play with me, these dancing hands I feel not, though within them, I [...]
You eclipsed yourself onto my heart, etched yourself amongst Sun and stars, a silhouette of burnished red and brown, a luminescent glow of you all around. Your pattern, your shape, my mind recalls, the beauty of your face, your expression, I’m in thrall, and I remember the smiles we shared, so many days and [...]
My body is a river, I rush over you, soothing as a salve or balm, running over your pebbles, smoothing their jagged forms. My delicate hands dance, my currents rise and fall, to you, my body is a river, with my flow I can cure you of all. Aching, yearning, pain which must [...]
So, they called you average. What is 'average' anyway? Are you going to let their taunts get in your way? Or will you rise, will you soar above the judgments, their negativity? For some though, they’re more inclined to sink and this image is more than dreary. Some hearts can break at the slightest twinge [...]
Thank you so much to the amazing and kind-hearted Shruba for nominating me for the Sunshine Blogger Award! Shruba’s writing is beautiful and takes me on a journey into her world, always, and makes me feel like I want to stay just that little longer to linger in her world. She paints pictures so wonderfully [...]
I am stronger than I perceive myself to be, even with the massive doubts I cast upon me, I am not withering inside, shadows covering my soul, no, I am strong, almost invincible. I am positive, even though I wonder and question my skills, I am wise even if I’m struggling, I can make it [...]
It doesn’t matter how bad life gets, hope can still trickle into view, positivity like a painted, beaming smile on a canvas reminding us that a positive perspective is the correct view. No need to succumb to despair, I know it can be difficult but know there will always be at least someone there [...]
These four walls are like a haven but to some, they could be misconstrued as a prison. I choose to reside here, taking my meals and my naps, speaking at length, researching, creating, typing in bursts, it is my little home, it is my little world, and I only leave when I’ve need to [...]
Wildflowers aren’t only beautiful because they’re free, they beckon to us from between the blades of grass, thick trunks of trees, their scent permeates the fields, tickles our noses when we bend to admire, we must understand their beauty’s power. They are softer in texture than they look, just like many of us, who [...]
I murmur into the darkness, whisper softly, I breathe, complex heart-song, twisted tuning, haunted melodies, I open my eyes only to see a triptych of beauty, artistic finery, talent conjoined with colour refined in shades only for me. I murmur, I murmur, I murmur, softly, now, see? I traverse through [...]
