Dorothy (Alves) Holmes Poems

Standing in place,
Again,
Waiting my turn,
At bat,
...

Time -
You monster of heartbreak!
Creator of fantasies
Time -
...

I sing in the shower
To relieve my stress.
Fact is, that's where
I sing best...
...

Come sit a spell,
Here beside me...
We'll watch the world
Go by
...

If I had known
The depth of your caring
I would not now be sharing
Any thing with
...

The 'We' of you and me,
Was my misconception,
Brought on by
My heart's deception,
...

I was told too,
Time would be the healer.
The pain will go away,
Laughter will fill your heart again,
...

In love again
Building dream castles
Out of silly putty and
Left over marshmallow clouds.
...

I stand in the middle,
In the middle,
Where there is no path,
And the walls are too high.
...

I knew this man,
who loved this woman,
Who loved him too...
And they loved deeply
...
