Josephine Dunn Poems

I couldn’t love my Mother
Till she died
Her face was disbelieving
When I lied.
...

In your house no one is near
There is only stillness here.
Just birds in the trees
And the gentle breeze
...

Does she do or does she don't?
Will she stay or will she won't?
Break her heart and wonder why
When she goes she always cries.
...

The white hart and his does
Running wild is all he knows,
Has the pleasure freedom gives,
But hunted down where e’re he lives.
...

Give voice to your sorrow
Keep not your grief inside
Least it tear the very heart from thee.
Guard not your pain till the morrow
...

My new best friend
Is six foot two
His eyes are green but
Sometimes look blue
...

I am building castles of glass
So fragile that all it takes
Is one whisper of dissention
To bring them crashing to the ground.
...

What do foolish men do
When all the wolves are dead?
Why - they find another kind of wolf
One in a man skin instead.
...

I cried for an hour today,
The tears flow easily now,
Yet when they should have come
My eyes were dry.
...

What do I feel now you are gone from me
A pain in my heart, an empty ache
Crying your name as dawn begins to break
Hoping some joy will set me free
...
