Edwina Reizer Poems

Send back the heart I gave you.
I cannot breathe too well.
There's no need for you to keep it
for it's a living hell,
...

Ladies, ladies don't speak from the heart
'cause most of these words seem to fall apart.
Men might hear them if you cry
but never understand just why?
...

A minor key, a minor key
has really taken over me.
It's got me low, so darned low
as low as I can ever go.
...

How many dreams really come true?
Not too many I'm sure.
You can probably count them on one hand
and not one finger more.
...

There was a man dressed shabbily
in church in the same old pew.
He sat there piously and pretended to pray
but knew what he would do.
...

I see my Bradford pear trees
with blossoms pristine white.
Each year they become lovlier
to my ageing sight.
...

In the closet hung her dresses
and her shoes were on the floor.
She would not wear the dresses now
nor the shoes anymore.
...

Take my hand and walk with me.
Let us do this silently.
Let us take in nature's view
before the day at hand is through.
...

Many things have been taught me
by teachers I have had.
But the one who taught me the most
was taught by you, my lad.
...

There seems to be a discrepancy
about what is good or bad.
It depends upon who you are
and what it is you have had.
...
