Alison Smith Poems

Love is the flutter of the strings of your heart
Love is the emptiness when you're apart
Love is the openness to stand aside
Love is

She tossed and turned
Her mind in turmoil
What was she to do?
She had not the ability to see.
...

Why do you yell at me?
Why is it your way?
I try to tell you how I am
But it always ends with you yelling.
...

Played with my emotions
And now I am to pay
Stood before you naked
Stripped of all my defenses
...

Soaring above all troubles
Testing everyone to see
Requiring no one to help
Energised by what you are
...

Horrible Weather
Staying in bed weather
Cuddling up close weather
Ignoring the world weather
...

Treading on hot coal again
Astonishing how it feels
Sensing my immortality
Testing my depth of pain
...

Heard it all before,
Your telling me nothing new.
You have spun the tales too long
Pull the other leg it plays “Jingle Bells”
...

You are continuously saying
“I am alone, I have noone”
So who am I?
...

The ritual was strong
Deep within the soul a spark shone
Under the silence a strength grew
As all toasted her strength.
