Antonia Nasi Poems

There's a happy place I go at night,
In mind and heart, devoid of fright.

Surrounded by this dreamt-up place,
...

She walks the streets of the French Quarter...
striking at 3am
They named her Melinda, in this...
her immortal life
...

I cry out to Lord Byron nightly,
And he comes to me between the realm of fantasy and reality.

He speaks through darkness and whispers of ethereal pain
...

Seduction personified with one look...
Her ivory skin a sheath of silk
Eyes of wanted coal watching with calculated temptation
...

Tick tock…
Tick tock…
That’s all she hears of the faint clock
...

The wizard he waits with wand in his hand,
He's waited for ages to conquer this land

Secluded, he dwells, no friend and no mate...
...

Manny the Mime lurks 'round Central Park,
Waiting for joggers who run after dark.

He draws on a smile,
...

Twice upon a town named Eerie,
The children stalk the Woods O' Dreary

Pale and white as zombies they roam,
...

Under blackened sky and quiet space you approached...
my logic slipping away
As boundaries crashed, lines crossed...
hands inches away from each other's bodies
...

Breathless,
Waiting for the sun to rise after you've gone

Dreamless,
...
