Dorothy (Alves) Holmes Poems

While the earth's asleep
A concert plays in the sky
Twilight rapsody
...

Spring arrived today
Running wild with wind swept leaves
Her smile was chilly
...

My man
Treats me fine.
I mean like cotton candy
Wrapped around a paper cone
...

In death all is still
A 'quiet storm'
If I am allowed to borrow
That one phrase from another...
...

Rainbow of sunset
Glowing on edge of darkness
Then splashing below
...

Walk this path with me
Our bridge to new beginnings
I love you truly
...

Clouds waltzed in the sky
Dressed in moire taffeta
In slippers of gold
...

A bandit is loose
In the forrest at twilight
Watching and waiting
...

Love tucked away
In two hearts
Where neither jealousy
Or envy could enter.
...

The sun sets beneath
Wings of angels soaring on
clouds as night draws near
...
