Carolyn Brunelle Poems

A flat black and white screen
becomes portal
through which other worlds empty,
one pixel,
...

Lately in the mirror I see
images that seem more real to me
than recollections from my own past;
more like glimpses of another life
...

One blue sweater and one in gray,
my Fall security all tucked away;
both promise warm, cozy comfort.
Not a testimony to fancy living
...

Oh Star of wonder
shining silent in your heaven above,
do you hear the heart
of a night dreamer speak of love?
...

Opulent boredom loves to spend, in fact
shopping for 'more' is a favorite hobby;
a thousand shoes in her wardrobe
stands as testament to her dedication.
...

We thought it was long buried and forgotten;
a voice from the past
shredded that illusion.
...

Love to hear your melody and I
yearn so to hear you speak;
really feel your embrace. But I feel
instant relief in my heart when you
...

A history of disappointing excuses,
late arrivals, no-shows and quick exits
leaves a long trail
of heartache and resentment.
...

I looked upon distant stars
to see how close we truly are;
not so far from their light after all
that we do not feel them call.
...

Sun is up, coffee's hot,
a roll and fruit just hits the spot.
I read the paper, check the mail
before I sail into life's big sea;
...
