Amanda Shelton Poems

Becker’s, tests tubes, chemicals and such…
Lab rats running the maze
Wires hanging from the walls
static
...

It tells you its your destiny
a hearts design
keeping with the stitches
a blueprint
...

Drip
drip
the waters slip
down in to the valleys they drip
...

hearts abound
and cracks are healed
and the curtains gone down
hearts seek what can’t be found
...

Eye's like these born like embers
leaving ash in this place,
where a fire once burned so hot on the suffers of my heart.
Like passion a heat wave coming in
...

A rose as rare as this is a beauty in garnet and flees
like a kiss,
a soft velvety embrace like no other can bring.
You are to me beyond any that can compare to a cool kiss.
...

When you look at a rose do you see only a seed, or how red and deep it looks
how it makes your heart think of passions like no other can?
What a rose, giving you that look
a kiss of breath to thoughts that once were bear.
...

Lay me down on a bed of roses
thorny steams and rosy bushes

Lovely roses
...

Things are coming to an end
leaving me breathless, and gasping for air
I try to hold on, and not lose what I have gained
but my mind and soul tell me I need to move on, and my body tells me no.
...
