ANNE P LadeeAnne MURRAY Poems

I remember it so well...
Almost, as if it were yesterday
Laying out in the backyard
of my parent's white,
...

To the roof of the world the mighty eagle flies
Silently watching the Earth down below
They fly mile after mile, day after day
Their solemn spirits soaring in Heavenly skies
...

Am I lost to thee forever?
The moon throws off thine light
I stumbled and fell along my way
Yet mine ear heareth thy voice still
...

We're awaiting a miracle...ssh,
She's asleep within the womb
One day we'll look into your beautiful face
Count all your fingers and toes
...

She seemed to be like a portrait...
Which had fallen from its gilded frame
Abandoned...
Lying face down on the empty, cold wintry floor
...

Big chocolaty, liquid brown eyes
That make me want to swoon
Rich cherry red lips
So edible, so delicious
...

They sit together after supper, two forks, two plates -dishes cleared, put away. She, with her tiny spectacles perched a little crooked on her face - he, with his favorite pipe. Her withered hands lay peacefully in her lap…he reaches out, gently touching them -
...

Unbearable cares held back...
face turning emerald with despair
by lost, withered dreams...
by his lost childhood
...

Mary Rose, the mighty sailing sea vessel glided majestically across the waves -
With the ocean's heaving winds blowing off her proud stern and mast
Sailing victorious and proud - her billowing white sails were cast
The calm, liquid waters of the sea...flowing quietly purple blue for now-
...

Secrets...from the house of whispers
keep calling out my name - in the halls and rooms
where as a child I lived and walked within
Unknown secrets, memories that wake me in my sleep
...
