Elizabeth Padillo Olesen Poems

Let your life lightly dance
Dance… tiptoeing, crawling
on the edges of time
as if now is the moment
...

The Beats of Love

It's a feeling inside a man and woman
starting as sweet melody from nowhere
...

To My Brother, Arthuro

I have just started to put together all
your letters, and discover how many years
...

As night draws late, she worries for her beloved.
Is he ok and does he think of her? Is he safe amidst
hunger, bombs, dusts and ashes in the air?
Will they see each other again under one sunny day?
...

The Rhythm of LIfe

Rhythm of life is there for every eye
There is life and there is death,
...

Rain falls, knocks and invites

Rain keeps on falling on my rooftop
waking me up after midnight.
...

One can have a break,
a break from writing,
a break from reading
but the human heart
...

Just tired of Corona,
Tired of Covid 19 in 2020
Tired of the global pandemic
That has given us so many headaches.
...

I see love in a mother, singing lullaby to her child
Every night and day of mother's busy life.
I see love in lovers, holding each other's hand
And looking at each other - deep into their eyes.
...

Here inside this church
