Edwina Reizer Poems

How far are we from where we're going?
It doesn't really matter.
The saving grace is in not knowing.
Let the chips just scatter.
...

Is there an end to all we know
or is there never an end?
I guess no one can answer that
for right around the bend
...

When I pass a bakery store
then I know what noses are for.
The aroma that wafts into the air
invites me in to stop and stare
...

Where is this place called Eden?
It is wherever you are.
It cannot be found without you.
Its place is way too far.
...

I'm upside down, inside out.
Cannot figure what I'm about.
I'm sometimes up, sometimes down,
sometimes smile and sometimes frown.
...

I remember the music.
It burns in my soul.
It came to me early
and I became whole.
...

If I should never meet you
even though you pass my way
all the things we might have shared
will never come into play.
...

A house that's always empty
always feels its pain.
It's hollow and it's lifeless
and knows that it's insane
...

Don't eat sugar. It's too sweet.
Don't use salt on the meat you eat.
Don't drink caffeine. It will keep you awake.
Don't have 2nd helpings. You'll get a stomach ache.
...
