"Lead Me Through" By AnnaRosa In shadows thick, I whisper a prayer, Is someone listening out there? My steps are weak, my path unsure, But still I knock on Heaven’s door. Guide my hands, divine and true, Help me walk the path to You . The chariot waits in light above— Lift me with grace, carry me with love. |

Added A Letter From the Heart |
You are my steady by AnnaRosa My life is filled by your existence. You give me strength to push through— the noise, the silence, the days that try to break me. When I falter, your presence becomes the ground beneath my feet , the light in my shadow. You may never know the weight you lift just by being here. But You do. And because of you— I rise |
With every fiber of my being, I lift you up— away from harm. I offer my guidance, I am a person without credentials So for you, I hold no authority. I am stereotyped, labeled a minority, dismissed for my circumstances, a charity case— frowned upon, talked about. What should I do? Bury myself— or let you bury me? In your eyes I see no remorse, no accountability. And still— knowing I’m the one who’s going to fall— you let it happen. -AnnaRosa |
“ Echoes behind my eyes” How do you scream when your mouth is sealed shut? When your fists are folded into prayers, not protest? Anger simmers— not in fire, but in the quiet ache behind my eyes. They say, “Don’t raise your voice,” so I raise my blood pressure, my heartbeat, my walls. Tears fall, not out of weakness, but out of pressure. Not sorrow, but steam. Not sadness— but something deeper, emptier. I do not throw fists. I throw words into the void, and even they refuse to echo. Tell me: Is this anger, or is it grief in a war mask? I carry it all behind polite smiles and closed doors— until silence becomes my loudest scream. -AnnaRosa |
I have so many mixed emotions— but anger is the loudest one. It drowns out the rest in silence, pressing heavy on my chest, yet I dare not let it out. Not one peep. Not a look. Just a slight weep to flush the sadness no one sees. Anger. Hurt. Loneliness. Still— I give all I am, all I have to the ones I hold dear. I hide my face, mask the cracks, so they won’t see the breaking underneath. But their actions… they whisper louder than their words. They show me I’m invisible, dismissed, pushed aside in my own home. I have no authority. Treated like a stranger, a shadow, a minority in the space I built for love. Yet they say: “I love you.” And for a moment— I believe. A brief exhale of relief. Hope tiptoes in. But it never stays -AnnaRosa |
Fishing for words Words rush like a river, too many to catch, too fast to follow. The page lies still, waiting for a mark, a signal to begin. Thoughts pile up, a storm of fragments, each one desperate to speak, to find its place. But the blankness stares back, unchallenged, silent. |
I really like this. Good flow and we writers know about that blankness staring back. |
Each word born of thought, yet bound by rhyme, Not by choice, but guided by a passion’s flow, I trace the world in verse, through lines you’ll know. I do not linger on the "what-ifs" or the "why," I watch, I listen, and in silence, I describe The quiet ache that hides behind your smile, The tears you hold within, though for a while. My words, though soft, unravel what you keep, A truth you feel, but rarely dare to speak. And in these lines, perhaps you’ll see the way I understand the things you cannot say. To my dear friend R.G jr -AnnaRosa |
A poem I wrote to my family on New Year’s Day Happy New Year To all my loved ones, big and small, Another year is upon us all. Though we’ve seen it all, we stand tall, Grateful for the strength we’ve found in it all. The Coronado crew, a unit so strong, Together we’ve made it, where we belong. Bulletproof we stand, through thick and thin, Blessed to see another year begin. A year of change, growth, and wisdom, too, May God bless you all in all that you do. With love, with health, above all else, I’m thankful for you, and for ourselves. Love, AnnaRosa |
Through Silent Love It’s clear, my brother— you hold me in despair, Though all I’ve done was born from love and care. Yet why you turn, in silence, cold and near, A mystery that burdens me, unclear. I’ll love you still, no matter how it seems— A love that’s hidden, bound by quiet dreams. My deeds remain untouched, unspoken, whole; For they are mine, untold, within my soul. I ask no praise, no right to claim the light. I’ll not oppose, nor challenge what is right; For He alone, who sees both great and small, Knows the truth of what is done, and all. I know not why such hate is turned my way, When all I’ve given is the light of day. Though little I possess, I’ll always stay— A sister’s heart, unbroken, come what may. Call upon me when you’re lost or in need, For what I offer is a timeless deed. No greater bond exists that can exceed The love I bear, the truth that may heed. -AnnaRosa |
"I’ve recently developed a deep passion for poetry, and though resources may be limited, I feel compelled to share my work with you all. I hope you enjoy this expression of art, as it means a great deal to me." Rhythm of the soul The beat that stirs me when I can’t sleep, A rhythm that lingers, relentless, deep. It pulses through my mind, a steady fire, A spark that fuels my every desire. Each word I write, each line I craft, Unveils a world where dreams can last. My passion flows, both fierce and true, A melody that guides me through. In every verse, I find my flight, A song that turns the dark to light. It’s more than music; it’s my voice, A declaration, a choice to rejoice. The rhythm carries me along, A pulse that strengthens, makes me strong. Through every note, I shape my fate, A song of hope that resonates. -AnnaRosa |
