In Silence

In search of space
We imprison ourselves
in solitude,
And struggle to break the
Self imposed shackles.
In silence
Weeps grief,
And vainly we
Search for source
Of sorrow.
Somehow space
Confined us
To our misery
and we gasp for a
breath of fresh air.

First Woman

This poem is in response to the poet’s billow-April Poetry Month Day 2:
Write a poem in the persona of a person who is the first to do something.

I am Eve
The first woman to
Walk the earth
In the Garden of Eden
They say
I seduced Adam
