Joseph Wordsmith Poems

...
...............I found............................my heart
..........sitting in the sun............while waiting for you,
.......but you did not come...........I held it through highs and
...

I was sneaking off to sleep
and was waiting for my alarm to beep
and then I did weep,
with only three hours to sleep...
...

Oh world look at this earthly blight!
Where everyone with one another must fight
For glory, fame, riches and more to be named
Or vengeance professed for past injuries sustained
...

I had a dream as lovely as any dream could be.
I tried to convince myself of its reality.
But unreal,
for it, it seems,
...

Wouldn't it be nice if we could create
a musical called life to play.
You'll have to send me the music and choreography
and when we hear the Q we'll dance in sync.
...

I remember quiet water and roses
and flowers I couldn’t name
and the tall grass that hid us.
Busy bees and butterflies,
...

There is a black rose behind my bed.
Hidden in the crevice by the wall.
One black rose, shriveled and dried.
Once red and alive, now dead.
...
