Jacquie StewartHeimann Poems

My family will not see me cry
When life is harsh and desolate.
They will see me laugh
At the simple, enraptured pleasures of life.
...

Red, yellow, white, brown, black
Color doesn’t matter, everyone attacks

Hatred grows with each passing day
...

In Memory Of...

The loss, the pain.
Taken too soon.
...

Tick tock, tick tock
Beats the heart of the mantle clock
Its numbered face observes the room,
At the moment, veiled in gloom
...

Inspired by Aunt Mary and Uncle Charlie

We arise in early morn
Darkness all around
...

A phone rings, It's time! It's time!
Excited voices shout
A mad dash, Come on! Let's go!
Delight abounds throughout
...

Sadness, loneliness, fear
Fear of the uncertain
Of the unknown
And the devastating losses
...

We won't say Good-Bye
Instead... we will remember
Your contagious laugh
So infectious we join in
...

People singing
Sleigh bells ringing

Children laughing
...

Tragedy strikes
Our hearts break
Blood and sadness
Blood and madness
...
