Mary Havran Poems

Love built our house on solid ground
Such rock as will not yield
And I bear an enduring stone with me
From uncertainty as my shield
...

The clash of colors that surrounds
stuns the sense, breaks the bounds.
My mind instructs my eyes' belief
challenged now by every leaf.
...

If there were only ONE song
Possessed of every note of choice
It could not match the music
Of the Lovesong in your voice
...

Once more it begins
My mind focused
On the task
at hand
...

Poetry and Science don’t always
Appear to marry very well
But there are times
Amid these rhymes
...

Wrinkles in time
trite phrase yet true
where life creates chaos
it leaves wrinkles in you
...

They lied to me when I was young
(Or perhaps sinned by omission)
Never was there any mention made
Of a body’s loss of commission
...

One who fears the heights
And another lone of heart
Struggled from isolation’s depths
Hoping to make a fresh start
...

On late winter afternoons
Before it all fades to gray
Distractions blur mind’s focus
Engendering thoughts to stray
...

From birth tiny hearts all grow
As they mature they will know
What hearts are created for
...
