Maya Reid Poems

I hate Band Aids
What do they do?
Cuz they sure as hell don’t fix anything
In fact, I think they just make problems worse
...

Close your door and lock it
Turn the music on
Turn off the lights
Out of a hidden shopping bag come
...

So, what are you?
He asks
That’s a loaded question
Won’t admit it but
...

I know that I trust you
I trust you completely
With my life
I trust you
...

The next time you are upset with him
And you think he doesn’t really love you
Because if he did, he’d remember
To thaw the chicken wings or call you back
...

Mother Nature and I must feel the same way
As I plod home on this oh so gloomy day
It’s raining and of the sun’s light I see not one ray
For today is the day you walked away
...

For
years
I’ve had
a blanket
...

Hold fast to love
It is the fruit of the gods
It is a break in the clouds of life’s sky
It is rain for the garden in your soul
...

How did you get here?
No one’s been this deep inside of me before
Why are you my everything?
You held the key to my soul’s locked door
...

If the whole wide world was up to me,
The hungry would feast, the thirsty would drink
The poor would have plenty, and the weak would find strength
Shy and cowardly people wouldn’t hide from the light of day
...
