Kate Rebecca Hopwood: Poems

Kate Rebecca Hopwood Aug 2018

Soft whispers in the morning
Soft tingles as I fall to sleep
Hands touch gently
Fingertips tickling the skin
Delicate feelin
From the outside
breathing in

Spiral of life

Kate Rebecca Hopwood Dec 2018

Spiral of life

Throbbing
Pulsating
Swirling
Spinning
Whirling
Curling
Twirling
Circling
Energy of the universe
Rooted within

I still pray

Kate Rebecca Hopwood Aug 2017

I still pray

Every night before my wake departs
I say a pray for you
I pray for family and friends to be protected and safe and I pray for you and your family too
Even though with your departure I was torn in two
I still pray for you
May love light and protection be a guide
surrounding hue

Timetravelling

Kate Rebecca Hopwood Jan 2018

Timetravelling

I've been here before
The past tells me so
The words show the way for heart and the knows
Some times the minutes move quick
Other times seem to stick
Some moments there's no time at all
World's merge mix spin
Then to wake as I fall..
To once again
Begin

First light

First light

Touch me in first light
Our
shadows
can
dance
together

Waiting vein

Kate Rebecca Hopwood Apr 2019

Waiting vein

We sit in silence
We get accustomed to it's presence
The comfort matches our tears
Depth surrounds
Only beaten by our fears
How does a drop of honey become so runny after all these years
It's sticky residue remains
Lining our creased palms
Lifeline to the stars
Heartline worn scars
Words lost to the distance
Communication in higher existence
Humble people scrubbing dishes
Waiting for the elixir to smooth their troubled hands

Inside view

Kate Rebecca Hopwood May 2019

Inside view

To see the world as yourself is not always a view to cherish
You can't always force yourself to see the beauty
When the inside screams
It paints the screen
You just want it to fade away

Pictures of the past

Kate Rebecca Hopwood Oct 2017

Pictures of the past

Smiling through sad eyes
Looking back you can see through the lies

As I am / never be right, too wrong for you

Kate Rebecca Hopwood Jun 2017

As I am / never be right, too wrong for you

When you went hungry I bought you food
You didn't want!
When you were down I tried consoling you
You didn't want!
When you went ill I wanted to sit and be there for you
You didn't want!
When I wanted you to come enjoy life with me
You turned it away /

When you didn't want

I left it be

Exchanged parts of self
for
thee

Somehow got that wrong

                                                          You just didn't want


                                                                                                                     me

Shaking the apple tree

Kate Rebecca Hopwood Jul 2018

Shaking the apple tree

Why are we so afraid to fall
Perhaps we fear
there being no one there
to catch you
What if it was different
this
time

It looks like a boat Is it drifting or staying afloat

Kate Rebecca Hopwood Oct 2017

It looks like a boat Is it drifting or staying afloat

Is death life
And life death
Living well in death depending on how well you live
Dying slowly in life to learn how to live again

136 · Oct 2018

Take it easy

Kate Rebecca Hopwood Oct 2018

Take it easy

Feeling the change
Unsure to it's total arrange
Messages in the mind
Trying not to overthink
Something feels deep
For now rest

Drop off

Kate Rebecca Hopwood May 2019

Drop off

We are the leaves falling off the tree
We are dying
To be reborn

Projection least protection

Kate Rebecca Hopwood Oct 2020

Projection least protection

I projected my insecurities
They came back to me

Messy look

Kate Rebecca Hopwood Nov 2018

Messy look

I cried into the mirror
It was ugly
Difficult to watch
I watched anyway

Tears
ran
down
my red blotched
Mascara smudged
face

135 · Jan 2019

Unsure

Kate Rebecca Hopwood Jan 2019

Unsure

Buried beneath the rubble of the crumbling strife
Options to remain let the spill pour
Or to dig my way out
Unsure

Face to Face

Kate Rebecca Hopwood Jun 2018

Face to Face

In the place between sleeping and awake
Over the years I've seen many a picture
form
a face
Though looking back
I've never seen my own image staring back at me
Until now

135 · Jul 2019

That I know

Kate Rebecca Hopwood Jul 2019

That I know

I don't feel worthy of my self yet
I know that

Medium wave

Kate Rebecca Hopwood May 2019

Medium wave

I feel the darkness
I feel the light
I find myself torn between the two
Parts of both run through
Merging to taste both sides
To feel as We do
Strainer container
We all hold our truth

Steal of approval

Steal of approval

Devils

Manipulative and groping

Vellichor

Kate Rebecca Hopwood Aug 2017

Vellichor

Oh Vellichor
Why do you leave me
asking for more
Your fragrant perfume fills the air
Filling my lungs with the memories
The stories
Beginnings
Middles
and
Ends

I could breathe you in for a thousand years and still you would have me under your speaking spell

Words fall from context
placed on high
I can feel you in
Learn from meaning
This place you have me binds me
I will never feel alone with the savour
content from your skin

Pond life

Kate Rebecca Hopwood Jul 2017

Pond life

The pond called life staring back at me
I see in its entirety
The depths
The shallows
The flow
The bend
The ripples that skim
The banks at each end
I see the memories reflected emerged
Sunken dreams
Time now lost under waters bed
I see the world from below and the skies over head
If my own reflection was to disappear would I want to change the past or not relive the fear
No!
I would want to live and love despite the capturing image of that moment
day
night
or year!

One rung at a time to climb and I'll get myself a ballpit for the slide

Kate Rebecca Hopwood Sep 2017

One rung at a time to climb and I'll get myself a ballpit for the slide

The climb is calling again
It's just a game
of
snakes
and ladders
to
the
end

The boy who couldn't love

Kate Rebecca Hopwood Jan 2019

The boy who couldn't love

The boy loved so much
He was told to toughen up
He was shown how to be strong and punch
To release his feminine touch
He wanted to be loved so he changed to fit their ways
Day after day grew the crushing pain
The want to run away
Just to be himself
to
love
again

Soul story

Kate Rebecca Hopwood Aug 2018

Soul story

You've been haunting me
ever since my vision
Is it just a phantom
My spirit hopes not

134 · Jul 2018

Slow groove

Kate Rebecca Hopwood Jul 2018

Slow groove

In a slow groove
My mouth doesn't even want to speak let alone move
Energy shifts between hope and hopeless
Can see it all
Can see less
Pointing to wonderful
Feeling full of mess
Shining on the sorrow
Beauty in the destructive chaos
It's growing
Expanding
Slowly
Nevertheless

Throw your arms around me ( hunters and collectors)

Kate Rebecca Hopwood Aug 2018

Throw your arms around me ( hunters and collectors)

As I lay in night
Your light guided me deep
You threw your almighty arms around me
Holding strong as the dark did creep
My eyes viewed the strangest things
My heart felt each beat
We flew together in dreams
This my soul
will
keep

Poetry prompt for a song

Road-works

Kate Rebecca Hopwood Jan 2020

Road-works

When the roads need resurfacing the concrete opens to gap
The raw edges unearthed
The built up tension has caused the exposure to the rumbling core
The pressure placed upon uncovers the tender spots
We observe
We take in the scattered rocks
Acknowledging its truth
The vulnerable air
We can be grateful we noticed it there
Wide open and bare
Now we can fill up from inside
To bring up to level
To join on the expansive highway

134 · Aug 2017

Kenopsia

Kate Rebecca Hopwood Aug 2017

Kenopsia

A room
usually
so full of people
How they feel and see
How they tread through with emotions as company
Bustling with energy so much to take in
Now abandoned left aside
No room for all these people
Mind is of own
Form shapes a steeple
More now
inclined to connect
with
spirit or self alone
Less noise
Open space
in
solitary
and
silence

134 · Oct 2017

Cloud in the sky

Kate Rebecca Hopwood Oct 2017

Cloud in the sky

Pale light blue sky
Wispy cloud caught eye
Looks like flames rising high
I know they are not as the colours fade and blink out of shot but as the sun's shine to hit spot rainbow spectrum highlights the lot
Watch as they flash
To fade
Separate
Dissipate

Conspiracy of ravens

Kate Rebecca Hopwood Oct 2018

Conspiracy of ravens

Caw Caw Caw
Knocking at your door
Hearing and seeing the gap open more and more
The key is turning dropping to the floor
Eyes to dark
Aware to the night
The ravens perch high
Cawing
Evermore

Spring
Spring me to life and let your Summer sun warm in my heart
Before the Autumn falls and Winters freeze the earth

Cover to blank page

Kate Rebecca Hopwood Dec 2017

Cover to blank page

Learning from eyesight
Driven by views
Opinions made from them
To us
Back to them
No story is ever the same
How do you know you're on the right page
You have to read the whole book and even then there could be a rewrite or follow-up

Perhaps Feelings change

Kate Rebecca Hopwood Apr 2019

Perhaps Feelings change

I've touched myself in ways in places in pleasures in sensations
No other ever has
Perhaps there is room for change

On the crest

Kate Rebecca Hopwood Sep 2018

On the crest

What messages will you bring to me
Be it day or night
It will not a burden be
As your words feel to be right
Channel to the rivers deep
Voyage
to
insight

Heart

Heart

Feels too much

Sinks in Rocky ravines
Flies in Deep oceans

Falling into you

Kate Rebecca Hopwood Oct 2017

Falling into you

Surrendering was always a pleasure
Deeper and deeper into the unknown
Body yielding to essence
Soul embracing home

No where to run
No where to hide
No one wants me around
Losing the will to be lost or found
I don't care!

Swept from the floor

Kate Rebecca Hopwood Jan 2020

Swept from the floor

Bullied most of life
Even now they come at me still vultures for a fill
The hurt still runs deep
So they creep
Though I am forgiving
I understand they are hurting to pain
I won't play the game
anymore
I release
Though I'm aware of the score
It's a inferiority sense of power
Insecurity to deliver
A way to feel control
Though there is
none
It's all gone
And critism
Do you think there is nothing I haven't heard or said to myself
It's falling away
from
me ...

132 · Nov 2020

Not sorry

Kate Rebecca Hopwood Nov 2020

Not sorry

Being a woman I've noticed the suppression
**** I've lived it
Still am
Your thoughts and opinions can matter as long as they matter to me
If I feel you speak out of turn it will be punished in some form
If you mention your feelings it's all too much
Soften yourself
Be a good girl then maybe I'll be in touch
Wow! Your causing drama for setting your boundaries
For speaking out for things you don't approve of
For caring and noticing the habits less healthy
You should just put up and shut up
I guess I can't and never will
That's just not me
Never will be!

132 · Jul 2018

Sweep up

Kate Rebecca Hopwood Jul 2018

Sweep up

Sweep up your troubles
Let the worries drift to the dust
Out from your home
Out on through
the gap
Up
unto the air
Floating away
on a butterflies back

Home is where the heart is

Kate Rebecca Hopwood May 2019

Home is where the heart is

This home is beautiful
homely
a few cracks
Apparently your home can be your state of consciousness
I could see that
My last home was hell
I could see that too

Love you to your core

Kate Rebecca Hopwood Sep 2017

Love you to your core

You see your darkness as black
It's just human nature
in all masks
Nothing you or I do truly lack

Sunset yet a sunrise

Kate Rebecca Hopwood Jan 2018

Sunset yet a sunrise

The
light was fading
Mourning its loss
Grieving in desperation to stay at all costs
The time had come to tuck itself away
To end all that's been

To rise
for another day

These waves ask me to write

Kate Rebecca Hopwood Mar 2018

These waves ask me to write

These waves ask me to write
High and low tides of life riding to the shore
Moon directing cresting curling course
Stars nightlights for the dark
Sun warming to the day
Deep as the ocean swells and bed sometimes so far away
Releasing to the elements earths most humble way
A raft upon a current
Drift with waters sway
