Edwina Reizer Poems

Once long ago I saw moonlight on her hair.
It captivated my senses and I could not stop my stare.
It created a picture that would always stay.
I prayed that this scene would never fade away.
...

What is a face
that wears no smile?
'Tis only the face
that's been hurt for a while.
...

He brought to me a sweet bouquet
that sparkled in the light.
I touched the hand that picked the flowers,
daisies all so white.
...

America, America, what's happened to this land?
You've been taken over by a hungry, thirsty band
of liars, cheats and robbers that don't care what they do
to all your people dedicated to the red, white and blue.
...

Gods of the white man,
Gods of the black man,
Gods of the almond shade
all of these Gods
...

I think I've always loved you
and think about it, I do.
Wherever you decided to go
I went along with you.
...

Those who've never found heaven
right where they are
will probably never find it
in that place beyond a star.
...

Do you believe as I do
that time is moving fast?
It seems to me that all my minutes
never seem to last.
...

There's a new star that shines in the sky
that wasn't there before.
The traveler went from here to there
and walked through heaven's door.
...

He broke her heart
in the middle of the day.
He slammed the door
and walked away.
...
