Deborah Cromer Poems

I once was the kite, a beautiful, flying kite
I soared the sky, I dipped and swooped with all my might
You were the tree, my tree, growing tall inside my yard
Growing tall and healthy, your strength mighty and hard
...

Often in days of calm, I look up into that tree
The area overgrown with more trees and branches so free
I look, I have to look long and hard to try and find
The kite still trapped and tangled that haunts my mind
...

We find that life lifts us up, seeming so unreal
Almost knocking us to our knees to weep and kneel
Gifts are given to us so righteously in surprise
Honest is love that trusts in truth without lies
...

We lived together, only so we could end apart
Not knowing this would happen from our very start
I believed we would be together as man and wife
Forever sharing our awesome, passionate life
...

At last I feel like myself and I can think
The dark, bloody, red, has turned to soft, rosy pink
Dark, gloomy clouds have lifted and now are rainbows
The blackness of pain, now with friendship, colorfully glows
...

With purpose, with reason, the music has begun to play
Together moving into heavenly rhythm, I need you here to stay
Your habit is bad, so addicting and powerfully hard to end
Throw your weaknesses away, live for me, we can soar the wind
...

You come near, and I want you so very close
You have given me life, in a packaged mega-dose
I want to pull you up close to me hard
My mind and memory have been blessed, but scarred
...

Drifting thoughts continuing to wind
Up the future, beyond the past
Leaving everything behind
She journeys through time off ground
...

Winding, climbing, traveling in a dark, tight tunnel
Not knowing where I am
Nor where I am going
Crawling on my hands-
...

Sssssstill within the womb of this relationship
Drunk with energy by only just one, tasteful sip
The newborn life of togetherness, is our company
Our souls together, bonding through touch, always free
...
