Dorothy (Alves) Holmes Poems

I ran back again,
to gather your missing kisses.
Suddendly the memory of your arms
holding me filled my eyes with tears,
...

Old ladies, dressed to kill!
Laughing, smiling, flashing gold crowned store bought teeth!
Greeting each other with cherry 'Good Mornings! '
Brown and black and yellow and tan
...

Another rainy day,
And I don't care,
Because you are here close to me.
Together we count the raindrops
...

Who painted your face on my TV screen?
Why is your face in the mirror where
Mine should be?
Why is your name running around
...

We glow in the undercast,
Our reflections fleeting
In mirrored walls as we dance.
The music is reminiscent of yesterday,
...

Spring wears winter white
Shivering in sun so bright
Ah! deceitful Spring!
...

The line forms here,
At the start of each new day,
For the celebration of life...
Smile now, God's watching.
...

The voice inside my head
Knows nothing of silence,
Even as I work to suppress
All of my warped anxieties.
...

Stop! Oh weeping heart,
Shed no tears for him,
Deserter of love,
Run-away fool...
...

Forevers
Hide in Illuminated
Shadows...
We are saddened out of mistrust
...
