Alyssa Rieper Poems

Run? Why run when you have no place to go?
Stay? Why stay when there’s no one there you know?
Sit? Why sit and be bored all day?
Stand? Why stand and let knees give away?
...

He hangs onto my hand with all of his might
For pulling him out of the hole is our fight
A sweat and tear dropp meet at my cheek
I realize, now, there’s no hope to seek
...

This demented world holds
Infinite number of souls
Crying inside through day
Their own place far away
...

All the treasure that you seek
When I tell you I am weak
I just won't live past today
No, I won't live past today
...

What can one do in the situation that I was in today? I felt hopeless, friendless, speechless…

I am just in a theater, a production of bound fiction elements.
...

Over accessible and easily addictive

It won't be named by all who are submissive
...

The tips of your fingers on the back of my head
They run so free, weaving each thread
Crocheting a blanket in the soul of my hair
Aiding the eyes of a blind man's stare
...

There is beauty in your colored words
Ours are black and white
When everything is tied in twos
It lasts just through the night
...

Glaring at each other, like a staring competition between the flowers and the sun, we feed off each other’s energy
Painting the horizon and lighting the darkness with color and exuberation
What would the spring be without the warmth and light we radiate?
Could the rest of the world exist without both of us acting together harmoniously working on creating a community where liberty is spent being proof God’s hands weild the most impossible miracle? We are that proof.
...

Don’t regret, don’t forget
Don’t let go of who you met
That one-toothed smile
Or gaudy style
...
