Ellie Cook Poems

During twilight’s stillness I gaze upon this man I love.
His slender golden body, firm, strong, beautiful
I close my eyes and speak a prayer to you….....
...

Down the garden path I go like a child torn from sleep,
I seek the joy of yesteryear among the Willows Weep.
I peer among the tended beds of fellow, foe and friends,
And find myself alone again on a path that never ends.
...

From peaceful slumber I hear your call as you pull me into you.
“Wake up” you whisper, “I wait for you”, and all my dreams come true.
You wrap yourself around me, where each of us begins
You hold me like you’ll never go, I pray it never ends.
...

On a black and starry night, he leaves you
To the pier he goes, she waits
For he know he will not leave her
At the thought of her he quakes
...

I have been with you for so long
I have walked beside you for a lifetime
I know I must leave you behind
...

Life not lost without living
Love not known without feeling
Beginnings not taken without risk
...

The morning after the long night
Heavy heart I wake to
Simple sadness over my inability to love well
My words seem to betray my heart
...

Traveler of the heart,
The distance you go is far,
You say the journey is all you seek
As you gaze upon that star.
...

How do I choose


In the depths of my heart, filled with uncertainty and empty of trust
...

The love of a Man
The wondering of when it will be the last time I will be loved
The last time I was touched
The last time I was desired
...
