Dorothy (Alves) Holmes Poems

My heart has empty rooms,
Where once our love laughed
and played.
...

Let's go to the Hop!
Yelled the Jelly-Belly Blue Grass Band.

The dance floor was soon crowded with
...

I am out of here
Hate invades this poetry site
Rotten apples spoil!
...

Fringes of summer
Linger clinging to fall's new
Translucent blanket
...

You there,
Standing so idly by,
Hurry now!
Grab your pallet of colors,
...

I have pulled the shades
To the windows of my heart,
No light seeps in...
It is cold and dark
...

Yesterday's lover,
Today's heartache,
Filled with woe!
...

If only we had met yesterday
When love was new to both of us
And untarnished...
And dreams fashioned by hope and laughter
...

always bridge to cross
in quiet moments of life
reflect on choices
...

A day of sunny meadows -
We wandered through
The maze of desire
Looking for love
...
