Margaret M. Ryder Poems

She smiled upon the pain bound,
as her belly grew very round,
she fed me life through her soul,
although her story receiving sadly told;
...

They could love you more than any of the world,
but could never be claimed yours nor theirs,
for the moon has passed within the stars,
ancient desiring needs have risen near and far; The animal that hides scared inside,
...

Darkness engulfed the sun today,
as the joy is stolen from the day,
clouds thunder showing no rain,
as the grip tightens on the flame; Captured the brightness fades,
...
