Edwina Reizer Poems

He sat in a chair
and rocked all night.
Could not sleep.
He was so uptight.
...

I guess you have to be
a mighty president
to have your face on money,
even on one cent.
...

I look from behind these iron bars
and no jailor do I see.
And yet it's impossible to escape
for my jailor is only me.
...

There are so many things I'd like to do.
But they wouldn't mean a thing if not for you.

If I sang a song that you couldn't hear
...

Ah sweet love I know not where
our love will take us to.
But it doesn't seem to matter
as long as I'm with you.
...

Oh if the world were all rosy colored,
not from the blood stains of men,
The picture presented would grace the world
with beauty and warmth again.
...

Is there a way to lift this veil from me
so I can know with certainty
that life beyond this one I'm in
is one that's never filled with sin?
...

Spring is for lovers
where life is anew.
Fall is for artists
to capture its view.
...

Sunflower springing forth
from the ground
Lift your face when the sun's around.
Rise up tall
...

Comfort me while I'm alone.
Bring me courage that I can own.
There is no comfort while there's fear.
For fear's not gone. It's always near.
...
