Melissa Coventry Poems

I can’t be your fool, your fool.
Can’t be wrapped in cellophane,
Put on a pink and white display.
I can’t be doting or pleasing,
...

Hazy mist fills my minds,
Fills me up, glazes my eyes,
Cripples my body,
Makes me cold…
...

Further then these rolling hills
Beyond this sky’s powerful thunder,
Longer then these boundless sea,
I long to seek safe refuge.
...

If you let me take your hand,
I will show you a new world.
If you let me lead your path,
I will show you a new way of life.
...

A polished gem sits,
On a dusty self,
Hasn’t been seen in a century or so,
Lost behind lifeless ordainments,
...

Lest we forget,
Of our fore fathers,
And their efforts
To protect us,
...

Thee take my hand,
Meet me by the fall of water,
City centre at noon.
On time,
...

The sun beats down,
Merciless and endless,
Stinging our backs,
Sweat pours down our faces,
...

To compensate, to compensate,
For happiness that doesn’t exist,
In a being, a being,
Too over joyful and the politest,
...

Say you’re having fun when we play,
Say that you love me when we kiss,
Say that your mine when you hold me.
...
