C.Ann Penning Poems

The warmth of summer caressing my skin;
I’m a beautiful green and dance in the wind
I love all the splendor that summer brings
But long for nights of a gentle autumn breeze
...

I lay in a shallow grave
Enveloped in darkness
It’s life I crave
...

If only the lies that fall from your tongue
would be ablaze like searing red coals,
as they rolled from your lips
smoldering into the depths of your heart,
...

Trepidation
Strangles the soul
Forbidding it to live
...

In way too deep
Murky waters quickly rising
Searching for an escape
Struggling hard
...

Passionate, Everlasting
Hard to find
One who completes you
Forever
...

A lost dying world,
Leaves fall, spring flowers blooming
Everything changing
...

It's not about you, its all about me
I told you before it's me, me, me!

You talk all your talk!
You think you're all that!
...

Always Sailing
Foghorns blaring endless
Opportunities out to sea
Sailed
...

From the depths of the souls did pour
pain and anguish long endured

Loss of loved ones they held so dear
desperately yearning to have them near
...
