Amanda Lukas Poems

All in the blink of an eye, you were gone,
leaving me speechless, confused,
wanting another glimpse of you.
I long to see your perfect imperfections
...

You came to me, in confidence,
calling my name, half-teasingly,
but you never said anything more.
You wanted me to hear you,
...

Sure! How about 'If you're looking for Amanda, you may notice she's not currently at her desk. She is searching for her mind, which is probably lost somewhere in a sea of e-mails, documents, and spreadsheet columns. She may or may not be found in the Copy Center looking for it, as she has had very minimal luck finding it elsewhere.'

'She will, however, be checking her messages periodically throughout happy hour, so please feel free to leave a voicemail at the beep to which she will respond between the hours of 6 and 8: 30 P.M. with a kind, slightly slurred 'Go to hell.''
...

She wanted to be in the sea,
and spread throughout each molecule and expand to each ocean.
She wanted to be the beauty of the sun's reflection
as it rises over the Atlantic Ocean in glorious gleaming ripples
...

I peeked around a little bit
over a couple of days.
I don't mean to sound egotistic or idealistic,
but where are your ideas?
...

We sat there yesterday, chatting.
Though we live under the same roof,
it's not something we often do.
You go your way and I go my own,
...

It was as comfortable as a worn set of flannel sheets.
He was my shelter,
a tin roof without a leak.
I was so content and cool
...

I owe my every effort to
Her love, everlasting and true.
In her silence, I am able to speak
and see all things beautiful.
...

I hide my eyes
because I don't want you
to see the endless longing in them.
Smiles cover up my fears
...

As I find myself growing into a new being,
I am constantly reminded of relationships...
Relationships between negative and positive,
between shapes and colors and sizes.
