Dorothy (Alves) Holmes Poems

we stand on edge of
forever overlooking
our frayed existence
...

Sincerity
Becomes music
Like a song found and repeated
Quick silver
...

Poetic you, filling my head with the dreams of
Yesteryears and I am the girl in a Tarzan movie,
Fearless of elephants as I jump from tree to tree;
I am the one who makes the call of come in peace
...

A rapsody,
Pinwheel of magic,
Your golden horned soft laughter
Spinning
...

There is something
Between us,
Can't be explained
You race through my mind,
...

The wizard comes out of hiding
Tired, sulking about some mis-laid
Metaphor
Which scored low on the scale of
...

I hitched a ride on a falling star
Which crashed
In a vat of satin tar.
...

turmoil in dark sky
I sing lullabies softly
quieting my heart
...

gray clouds drift by
as sun deserts her post
then rain comes pouring
...
