Kristina Louisa Carr Poems

Adam - what would you say to me today?
Would you be sorry for the lies told
about my seduction? Would you tell the truth today?
Would you admit that we developed equally from
...

Moist compassionate encounters grant forgiveness
For the omitted memories of long forgotten sins
Soft ringlets in the puddles on the sidewalk
Like momentary illusions of smiles from strangers
...

There is a long road I never went down before
Where you greeted me with a familiar smile
I let your arms embrace me and keep me safe
Your eyes the color of blue waters meet mine
...

I was told that in the mirror I see my soul's reflection
But I only look at my face without a deeper connection
I have been searching for a sign of this soul of mine
Being curious about the aspects of intelligent design
...

As the sun comes up between the grey of the rain clouds
Brighter than the streetlights along the industrial parks
I travel slowly gaining foot by foot in the dense traffic
As the buses, trucks and cars fight their way up the bridge
...

I agreed to surrender all and speak of lasting peace
But there is still blood on the sidewalks and disease
I have gathered the children and dried their tears
Although the line is busy to the army of volunteers
...

They watched him walking restricted by a thin thread
As he was counting his losses from a game of roulette
They saw him drowning very slowly in clouds of tar
His lungs were punctured by barbed wire very bizarre
...

I am breathing but the air does not fill my lungs
Minutes turn into days with ice on the tip of my tongue
Thoughts of life bypass my heart and linger in the room
I can't make sense of the noise invading like stale perfume
...

Fresh tar on the road covers up voices in black
But suggestive words will linger like an attack
The silence like an offering misunderstood
Triggers memories of all that has been good
...

There was an infinite stillness as I slowly walked away
The door closed behind me flashing thoughts of a replay
Did I forget something that I had not noticed before
On this long road of rebirth I had to settle an old score
...
