Kathryn Brookins Poems

I think of you often, more often then I should,
thinking about how you held me in a way only you could.
I miss you so much, it may be unhealthy as much as I do,
but my life is just empty without you.
...

I know how time can rock your world,
make time seem like your stuck in a swirl.
just stop my friend, and look around,
let yourself be still, and be bound..
...

Robbing the night of the light of the moon,
so some people are blind and others are swoon,
I will stay in my corner for out there is no more room.
...

Sorring high above all,
crying that high pitch call..
gliding through the air, light as a feather,
around my anckle, a leather tether.
...

The twisting and yearning is almost to much to bare..
I need you with me, I need you right here...
I feel the surge of energy, that longs deep inside,
I want your roller-coaster, I want your ride...
...

The warmth from your body keeps me warm all year long,
Even in winter, I sit in your rays and sing your song.
On the days you are hiding behind Brother cloud,
I cry out for you, with a voice, strong and loud.
...

As I walk through the earth, making my way,
I can hear the other creatures, and feel the wind off the bay.
Here I am free to be who I am, to roam in the open land.
feel beneith my feet, the cool dry sand.
...

I escape into the clouds over my head,
laying on the grass, a soft bed.

wondering about the shapes and pictures they make,
...

Hear the music as you walk the boardwalk,
also hearing those around you, chatter, and talk.
The breeze off the ocean is cool and gusty,
The nails in the deck are just tad rusty.
...

There is talk of cleaning up the Earth,
but we seem to start in other countries first.
Homeless people crowd our streets,
Parents with their children, no food to eat.
...
