Dorothy (Alves) Holmes Poems

Dare devil heart...
You say no!
It will insist
You take the risk
...

We long for changes,
Certainlly it seems our true need...
Look,
Much will happen beyond life's 'S' curves.
...

Quiet your midnight song
pulling and knocking at
the ear of my tearful heart
abandoned at twilight long ago...
...

I am sorrow's twin,
No smiles here.
I have forgotten the sound
Of my own laughter...
...

Toni, sheathed in black with silver fringes,
wiggles alone on the dance floor to jazz
sounds blaring...
Her eyes are closed; her long lashes are shades
...

Enjoy
Spring has a song to sing
A melody to soothe
The aching heart
...

What a delicious lunch!
I munched on your words
Nourishing my tired heart
Enjoyed the sweet parfait
...

A season open
To laughter
And
Hues of love!
...

Thumb nail moon
In orange glow
Watched me go
Away from you
...

Violets he did bring
And his promises of love
Grew butterfly wings
...
