I usually write about darker themes, but I am definitely going to try and change that. Please give me feedback, I would greatly appreciate it.

Fog

K.M. Blackwood

1 min read

Fog is misunderstood

Judged only by it’s appearance

Many people say that it’s scary

Cold

Dark

I believe the opposite

I think fog is beautiful

Fog stretches and blurs the sunrise in a beautiful canvas of color

Fog allow you to feel lost

Like your in an enchanted forest

Fog is like a magic cloak

It shields you from the outside world

For when you allow yourself to get lost in the fog ...

Lessons From The Grave

K.M. Blackwood

1 min read

Even the dead tell stories

Though it’s not a common thought

People tend to ignore the dead

Choosing to suppress these thoughts

But by looking at the dead

We can learn so much

We can learn to cherish life

To shower everyone with care

Just because their hearts no longer beat with life

Doesn’t mean they can’t tell us

Of the regrets they have in life

Perhaps when they died

They were ful...

If I Count The Ways I Love You

K.M. Blackwood

1 min read

If I count the ways I love you

I wouldn’t know where to begin

There is so much to say

About you

This amazing boy

Who decided to come my way

Where would I even start?

With your smile?

Maybe your eyes?

So many things about you

That I don’t think you realize

The way you always seem to know

Just what I need to feel calm

How you’ve never lied to me

You’ve been open all along

Just a si...

Healing Love

K.M. Blackwood

1 min read

When we first met, I was broken

Thinking love was out of reach

All of my experiences

Shaped my beliefs

That I would never find someone

To love

To have

To hold

Then one day our eyes did meet

And I began to fall

My mind told me not to trust

But my heart began to call

Your warm brown eyes

Made my heart begin to pound

My stomach full of butterflies

Heat in my face began to rise

Mear ...

Grief

Grief

It’s a never ending cycle

A constant uphill battle

Most days I’m okay

I know you couldn’t stay

You fought to stay here

But your body got so tired

And you surrendered to the calm

On that sad and fateful day

It’s been almost three years

I’ve processed this a lot

But sometimes it still sneaks up

Ripping apart my heart

As I crave your warm embrace

Your kind and gentle touch

On ...

Regrets

K.M. Blackwood

1 min read

If only

We often hear this phrase in moments of regret

If only I had been there

If only I saw the signs

If only I said this

Maybe that’s okay

To express regrets with this phrase

Perhaps that’s what we need to say

When we know why we failed to succeed

But this phrase is not always bad

It is often misunderstood

It can express empathy and sadness

It can be used for good

It can tel...

Home is where the heart is

At least, that’s what everyone says

That home is where you belong

Full of family and friends

But what if I’m different

What if I have a new perspective

Something that they don’t understand

I’m a typical introvert

Neurodivergent too

I’m not the same

There is no us

Just me and you

I prefer to be alone

Seeking solace with my thoughts

I have one good friend ...

Mirrors of the Mind

K.M. Blackwood

1 min read

I tend to stay up late at night

Usually until two or three o’clock

Many people call me crazy

But this is when my mind is most clear

When I can truly sit and think

When my thoughts don’t disappear

For it’s always late at night

When my creativity lights its spark

When I write my poems and stories

With their themes so complex and dark

It’s late at night as I write this now

When a thought ...

Life

What is this strange concept

Is it as simple as our hearts beating in our chests

Is it laying down at night to rest

But flowers do not rest

Neither do the leaves on the trees

So what is it then?

What connects the things that have life?

What connects us and them?

The answer

Is actually quite simple

It’s simple, yet so sad

To know that in order to be alive

You must also be able t...

Shaking

This is how a performer feels onstage

When you find joy and comfort in the spotlight

When two minutes feels like two seconds

You don’t notice the crowd

You don’t hear them

You don’t see them

It’s just you

You and your passion

I put in hours of practice

Always perfecting my skills

I’m often asked why

Why I give up my life to practice and ...
