Isabelle Cote Poems

Every time I wish
I close my eyes
I pray to whoever is up there
I blow the seeds off that dandelion
...

Sleeping soundly
I awake suddenly, my heart is racing
I can feel you here
but I know you're not
...

Blasting, pounding, pulsing
penetrating
feeling the words
hearing the emotion
...

That grasp
how you hold me
feels like I'm slipping off into a place in my mind
where we are linked together
...

We live for the days that won't ever come and we strive to see our dreams come true
We paint pictures of how our lives need to be and we expect higher things
We let ourselves depend on those who won't always be there...+(
...

I don't know what I'm looking for
and not what I'm supposed to see
but as I'm looking in all directions
I feel a tiding of sweet serenity
...

We never know what will be our last words
though we hope they'll be the ones
that mean the most
...

Faces, looking up at me
the faces are all I see
their eyes, beging to be truly seen
as they watch me move past
...

Once upon a broken star
a girl came upon a wish
a wish so strong it overpowers her body
the pain, cutting her and leaving scars
...

A silent night
is nothing but a night
when words don't need to be spoken
to tell the truth
...
