Elizabeth Clement Poems

I sneak a look at him.
From under my eyelashes.
Seeing a perfect soul.
I wish I could have him,
...

Love and Pain,
Love and Pain,
We see our loved soldiers newly slain.
...

I was once like you,
A mere mortal.
Unaware of the immortals,
Walking among us.
...

If I could spill my secrets,
I’d tell that one guy,
That he is the most perfect thing to walk this earth,
Because he is the only thing I think is perfect.
...

Running though the woods,
I hear the whispers of the town folks,
Still ringing in my head,
They say I am evil,
...

If you were truly unwanted
Then she wouldn’t like you so much
That it hurts.
...

You were just asking for this to happen,
With all the pressure you put upon me.
All we had was six more months of high school,
But you couldn’t wait.
...

Water snakes around my legs,
I gasps for air
Vehicles lurching down the Mississippi river like streets.
Orange rope,
...

Daydreaming about love.
Thinking fairytales can’t come true.
Wondering where’s my prince charming.
Guessing love isn’t for me.
...

Feeling the fresh cut green grass.
After a little shower.
So soft on the bottoms of my bare feet.
Seeing butterflies flitter around in the cool breeze
...
