Leslie Neiwert Poems

A swirl of orange
So decorated:
Bubbles and knickknacks
Would seem jaded.
...

I'm crying inside, and that's all that I can feel
My pain causing me trouble and it all seems to real.
My head is spinning and I can't seem to believe
That maybe deep down, you're in love with me.
...

The enemy of my enemy is my friend
These old words seem to hold such dread
Nothing is the same as it was before
When I knew you left my door
...

The rain drips in a puddle upon the ground
Nothing makes noise, there is no sound
Listen my daughter and you will hear
The music that comes in loud and clear!
...

I'm not sure where I am hanging right now
When I believe that my love loves me
But my heart ached all last now
Felt as if I swung from a tree..
...

If I retrace my forgotten steps back to this place I know..
This place I know will lay forgotten besides the broken steps..
The wind will tatter, the soul feels lost and nothing is a new..
How will I continue my journey knowing I'm without you...
...

I'm sittin' out here on a sunny day
When everythings goin' just fine
But when I look around,
People are stirrn'
...

The keyboard seems nothing to me right now,
Only a black, solid, ugly bruise.
The keyboard stares at me with it's whiten teeth;
All are daring me to be smooth.
...

There used to be a time
When nothing was ever wrong,
When there was happiness
Enough for everyone.
...

The sea of ocean,
An ocean of grass;
Each wave is moving
In a sacred mass.
...
