Maya Reid Poems

I am not Pinnochio,
That’s something we both need to realize
I don’t have wooden limbs or strings
Nor do I see the world through glassy black eyes
...

For long I admired you
From afar
The sound of your voice, the curves of your face
My feet matched your pace
...

Okay, so here’s a recipe
To go against society’s recipe
Drain a rainbow from the sky
Combine flashes of 7 bright hues for this colorless world
...

As my footprints linger on the wet sand
Memories of the past haunt me today
Peace lies in the black and white of dreamland
You cannot be there, because love is gray
...

My castle you are allowed to enter
I want to enter your fortress as well
My dreams have died like flowers in winter
Will they grow again? Only time will tell
...

Have you ever looked up at the stars at night,
And felt like a tiny speck of dust?
Well, if you have, my friend, you’re right.
The entire human race is nothing but a little dot
...

I am a spider
Divine inspiration and creativity flow through me
As I create my web
My web of truths and lies
...

I’m stuck here
and here
isn’t good enough
for me
...

I can see that you’re depressed
So I go to you
And hold you tight
And tell you that I love you
...
