Clara Potter Soloman Poems

You say you love the rain
the way it looks right before it rains
the clouds, the way they cast a shadow over the earth,
the bright but dull sunlight peeking out form behind the clouds.
...

She can see her reflection in the cold black water.
She wonders wht has become of her.
The glossy image breaks up.
She hadn't realized she was crying.
...

Love is like the hush
that falls over the sea after it rains.
Love is like the smile
of a new born baby.
...

Footsteps disappear
when the water reaches here
This is a sanctuary to many creatures
...

The ice and the fire
a strange surge of desire
rushes over me
the fire,
...

Through heartache and heartbreak
Happiness and sorrow
Through laughter and tears
Through all the years
...

A storm brews
like a witch's poison.
It travels to us
like an uninvited, unwanted visitor.
...

Soft and sweet
rose petals hit my feet
He loves me not
He loves her
...

I close my eyes
the moon is shining brightly through my window
I enter a world of dreams
each one with you at its center
...
