Edwina Reizer Poems

Mind over matter
or let the chips scatter.
Do you think I really care?
...

I will have loved you
from the first to last day of my existence.
I shall not waver from this love
if only through my persistence
...

If only there were a way to find
the return to sanity from an insane mind,
But pills and counseling oh so much
doesn't seem to help those out of touch
...

We talk about taxes and the price of gas
and how the time does pass.
We talk about crimes and drug scenes
and wonder about the middle-class.
...

Why did I always wish to age?
As a child I strived for the adult stage.
But having reached it I now know
that I was foolish to want to grow.
...

How many troubles
have come your way?
Do those troubles have you say?
'Oh, not another one,
...

Take me away from where I am.
Let me see anew.
Take me away from all I know.
Take me away with you.
...

What is left but the ashes of my life
of all that came before?
What of the future, still unknown?
What waits beyond life’s door?
...

The leaves of autumn are brilliant again
as they've been before.
They will shine for a while and start their fall,
fluttering to the floor.
...

I give you my heart
so it may live.
I give you my heart.
It's mine to give.
...
