Angela Marie Lara Poems

I can hear it in the trees
as they bend and stretch.
I can see it in the stars
in their twinkling brightness.
...

Your feelings change
when the wind shifts direction.
You demand changes from me
and label it a suggestion.
...

Faced with immeasurable confrontation
I cry out in desperation
Filled to the brim with immense frustration
I search for answers with no education
...

How can you just walk away?
How can you ignore what I want to say?

Just turn your back, head for the door
...

When she was born,
I was there
Not you.
...

A smile...
It doesn't seem like much
but it is sometimes quite hard
to rearrange those frowning muscles
...

Sometimes two souls
Working through life
Touch each other
And make a light
...

There comes a time
a moment
a feeling
When it all falls away
...

9.

When I close my eyes
I can see you
Standing naked before me
Begging me
...

10.

These ragged wounds
wrap crimson rivulets
around my wrist
that meet and fall
...

I am ready now
to give up and die
to curl up in a ball
and weep and cry.
...

Circumstances have
A tendency to turn
Into bigger problems
Why haven't we learned?
...

The Best Poem Of Angela Marie Lara

Making Sense Of Life's Wonders

I can hear it in the trees
as they bend and stretch.
I can see it in the stars
in their twinkling brightness.
I can feel it in the air
while it whispers across my skin
and runs fingers through my hair.
I can smell it
in the first crack of thunder
before the rain falls.
I can taste it
in every glistening snowflake
drifting lazily to the earth's floor.

It is nature... life's wonders

All around us
and we would be wise to appreciate it...
Linger in every moment
Cherish each passing second
and collect memories along the way
Learn from the good and the bad
Commit it all to your mind's eye
One day may not lead to another tomorrow
Live in the moment now.
