Edwina Reizer Poems

They met too late and they both knew
that meeting late would never do.
For time was against them in every way.
The clock was ticking their time away.
...

What I want for Christmas is something I can’t have.
But, here’s my list anyway. I’d like it to be heard.

I’d wish that people’s vision would be perfect
...

This old heart of mine
It just was doin’ fine
Until one look at you
And all at once I knew
...

What bliss can come from one sweet kiss
to last for unseen centuries?
Never to be forgotten in taste or memory,
always remembered in the soul.
...

When the day is over
and night time comes upon her,
all that happened within that day
will be forgotten after.
...

I heard the hoot of an owl at night
and when I heard the sound
I followed the sound and saw his eyes.
They were yellow and round.
...

There was a priest who asked a man
what he prayed about.
“What I pray Father every single day
is why I still have doubt? ”
...

If you were to venture in the fall
when all the leaves are bright,
I’d pray that before the leaves were all gone
I’d see you in my sight.
...

Together for years that get swept away
and yet apart sometimes,
brings me to a place everyday
when I sit and write my rhymes.
...

Dragonflies and butterflies
both flit in the air.
And after their short life
are gone with wing and prayer.
...
