Almedia Knight-Oliver Poems

When we met you took over
All My empty dreams and filling-
In 65 plus seasons with love
...

Six remnants. Your shadows acutely damaged:
Severely tortured, are your survivors.
Two braids slouched on the shoulders
...

I want:
To stroll in the valley for all it's worth
So to ascend the pinnacle of our love.
...

Some still absent power...all absent subways and buses...others
absent theatrical Broadway; still others absent restaurants of
many…yet
...

From his water home, miles over miles then
Meeting his dove, cooing and wooing and
Cradling her in his arms, then breaking -up ashore.
The very next day, though different, returning
...

Worn and tired

wind blown
...

Remembering he who walked dirt roads.
Mounted knolls to reach her house. By ways,
where heaps of fruits lay in ruins. Memories of
ashes to ashes and dust to dust.
...

Your joyful smile; your joyful laughter, and your caring for others permeated the community in which you lived and worked.

My eyes never grew weary of your glowing smile,
But now, my eyes are swimming in a river of tears, and
...

Our love rose in the fall of golden leaves, when
rough winter roots for gentle plants in spring.
We were planted in earth and grew and blossomed
When I pass, place a rose petal on my grave
...

Love is in the air…it's every where:
tree swaying in the breeze
thousand points of light
bright giving all delight
...
