Magazine Art Journal

This is my new magazine art journal. I made it by cutting down a magazine and folding the pages over and gluing them together. It is a fun journal that I can just grab a draw, journal, glue, stick and anything else you would do in a magazine art journal. It takes the fear of a blank page out of my mind, and I can relax knowing it is just a magazine I am journaling on.

  

Poetry - "Holding Onto Hope"

"Holding Onto Hope"

Contemplating echoes
Pressing thru my tears
Holding onto hope
Bearing thru my fears
Removing clothes within
Having different skin
Wanting to run away
Never return again
Watching for a moment
A twinkle of my eye
When all the changes
Take me by surprise
Overturning memories
Sifting thru the lines

Poetry called "Conscious Recovery"

You left me alone
I waited in the dark
Hues of mystery told
Beholding the heart
A turbulent breaking
The rambling overload
Seasons come and gone
Years lost among range
Constant undirected plans
Ceased overthrown pains
A cloak of darkness
Off the norm and old
Flickering sand in glass
Time was melting slow
Remounting to the wind
Yet now stronger tuned
Amist the overflowings
Days of morning dews
Awakened once again
Still planless yearning
Ageless remembering you

Why Woundest Thou My Soul Poetry

Why Woundest Thou My Soul
By Tonya Ashe

Why woundest thou my soul?
Your constant quiet inner whispers
Woundest thou my soul
So quietly I await thee
Hidden deep inside
Yet you ignore me
And I'm wounded again
Why woundest thou my soul?
Can't you move toward me?
Can't you look my way?
Why doest thou ignore me?
Why won't you stay?
So gently I await thee
Please stay anyways
Stop listenening inner voices
To the lies and betrays
Listen to me gently
to the Words of my Heart
Please stay anyways
I need you so desperately
Gently my heart says
Please stay Anyways
Cuts so deep
Like a wounding knife blade
The armor is pierced
Here I gently lay
Can't you see me?
Underneath the raging rains
Feeling as a torrential sea
Merciless torments
Misunderstandings
Seeing my pains
Can't you see the forever?
My heart awaiting you inside
Hurting... I'm bleeding
Yet here comes another storm
Torrential piercings
I bareth for you
Again and again
Why can't thou seest me?
Underneath all this pain
Why tormentest thou my soul?
Please Stay!

This poem is about what a woman goes through when in an torrential relationship. If you have been abused then you will truly understand it.

I wanted to run...

I wanted to run, but where
I wanted to cry, but to whom
I've felt so lost
Abandoned and abused
My flesh cries out
My soul feels confused
I waited for you, but you never showed
Alone I was left
While you did your own
An outcast I am
Broken by you
Used in distorted pleasures
Consciously desiring you
And yet my heart cries
Where are you
A devoted sacrifice
Years of pain
Consecrated and set apart
Yet all in vain
All that is left
Is the scars that remain
