Denice Woods Poems

You are destined for greatness,
Yet you do not even know,
You have such passionate feelings,
Yet you never let them show.
...

Sorrow in my soul,
Deep like rivers and oceans,
My mind is locked inside itself,
And I've lost the key,
...

Tears in my eyes
But there's no time for rain.
My heart is like a window:
Nothing but pain.
...

Lies wrap around you.
Suffocating,
Reciprocating,
It started with a school of little white lies,
...

He cared for me like no one else,
He knew me better
Than I ever knew myself.
Time turned and twisted what once was
...

My body is tired
My mind is old
My heart is lonely
My soul is cold
...

I am a woman
Weak, willful
Deceitful to some
The world shows me no mercy.
...

The wind whispers sweet nothings in my ear,
The rain pours down on my head slowly,
Even God sheds an occasional tear.
The body becomes weak,
...

A wise man builds his home
Carefully choosing his cornerstone
Ensuring that the home's foundation is strong
A fool builds his home
...

My tears flow
like torrential rain.
My heart is drowning in
existential pain.
...
