Maria Shaw Poems

I walk a path of regret
I long to retract but it's much too late
the choices I made determine my fate.

I can't put back the clock
...

I am love
I am hate
I simmer
I boil
...

I was born to a world of love
embraced in protective arms
nurtured and kept from harm.

I was born to a world of discord
...

Two wrongs don't make a right
an eye for an eye
soon we'll all be blind.

Look behind the enemy lines
...

These faded worn out letters are all that's left of you
yet they hold such precious memories of the love I have for you.
We danced in the rain without a care
and now the rain's so hard to bare.
...

Syria's skies cry
bloody tears fall from the sky
doves are splattered red.
...

Demonic eyes
stared into mine
under the cover
of blackened skies.
...

Bright neon lights lit kaleidoscope skies
hypnotizing young lovers eyes
dancing as though in a trance
setting the scene for romance.
...

Look behind the enemy lines
you'll be amazed at what you find
Dictators and Governments shaking hands
as land is seized at their command.
...

He walked the earth with pride
his first born at his side.

He taught him to hunt and to fish
...
