Poem by Victoria Walkden

GYPSY HEART She lovingly reunited The pieces of her gypsy heart That conformity and structure Had relentlessly ripped apart. - Victoria Walkden Photo Frankie K. @unsplash #freedom #artist #poet #poetry #love #quote via @RiplApp

I'M SORRY I'm sorry I wasn't listening until now I just didn't realise quite how But I stopped and poured you out Onto a blank page and all about Words and feelings, and hidden stories Long forgotten sadness and beautiful glories But most of all the stuff I didn't hear Was also the stuff that was most near Now I'm giving you all the priority Not shutting you out like a minority Let's start afresh, just you and me And begin a new, empowering story. - Victoria Walkden -- Victoria Walkden Artist, Illustrator and Poet www.victoriawalkden.com

I knew I was promptly awakened by the Presence of beauty Because it pricked me most assuredly with its sharp and timely thorn. - Victoria Walkden www.victoriawalkden.com #poetry #poetrycommunity #dreamscometrue #lovepoetry #rosephotography #presence #awakening

THE VEIL

Not everyone can see beauty in murky pools

Or the tears behind the faces of jaded fools

Yet therein lies a wealth of such vast potential

And beyond this veil it is most consequential.
