Emma Vander Dussen Poems

End has come to visit me
From her flight of fancy
she landed upon my wrist
like a watch that has stopped its clockwork
...

Pegasus soars through the heavens
freed from the strength of Hercules.
dragons swoop by in curiosity
but never halt their fiery dance
...

Deep within the branches
shrouded from light, hidden from sight
her song calls us from the earth
to hear her sweet melodies
...

So soft are these eyes
that search into my soul
so graceful and delicate
that it is as though your fingers
...

I see your face
soft and pure
eyes dark
lips light
...

You are a thought within a rainstorm
Every dropp whispering your name
Like the whispers of comfort to lonely hearts
Drifting through the stormy skies
...

I wish you were around more
your presence brings more joy
than you could ever understand.
to hear your voice and see your smile
...

Each night I see her
so bright within the heavens
shining her purity upon us all.
she is the dot of light to
...

You are half gone into your slumber,
O my dreaming love. The sun has captured
your leaves and has transformed yellow to orange
orange to red, granting them their golden death
...

10.

I wonder at the words within me.
They live inside my lungs, longing for release.
a breath may billow and bombard them
stirring them into sentences and structures
...

11.

there is a dance
that i no longer follow
it twists and turns through the air
with such a delightful grace
...

Emma Vander Dussen Biography

I am a student at the University of Toronto, trying to learn as much as I can about city life after growing up in a tiny town of 1800 people. The one thing more precious to me than anything else is my Faith, the Baha'i Faith, and it has guided my life to make me long to be a promoter of peace and unity amoung all the peoples of the world. I hope I can do my own part in contributing to the betterment of the world, no matter how small that effort may seem.)

The Best Poem Of Emma Vander Dussen

The End

End has come to visit me
From her flight of fancy
she landed upon my wrist
like a watch that has stopped its clockwork
and can no longer be wound.

Then End spoke to me
in her soft high sing song way
and offered me a flower
that I may feel no loss
and may continue to spread
some semblance of love to the world.

I looked at End, with her butterfly wings
and asked her why she came to me now
when I thought I should be with Beginning.
she smiled at me and fluttered her wings
and I saw within her, throughout her, about her
the face of Beginning in her face.
the love of Beginning in her love
and I wondered if I had seen End at all.

With Time's children on my wrist
delicate and small
I face the onrushing night
and the breaking of the dawn
and in the blinding darkness
I smile in the light
and wonder if i'll fly too
as End Begins its flight.
