Melissa Coventry Poems

And I felt the shattering,
I felt the rupture, the quake.
The loss of conscious muscle control,
As my unstable mind is released-
...

In my last breath,
In my last thought,
Before I jumped
I had a thought.
...

If I could strangle that woman,
Hold her against a wall,
Inflict that pain I feel.
Still, it’s restrained within inside,
...

As sweet scented as forgotten loved old book,
As engaging as a crisp spring bloom,
Is that full of love smile,
From a child,
...

Is insanity a distraction?
For the smothered rage I feel,
Pointed at you,
Who ripped that child born,
...

I totally accept I’m young,
And foolish and stupid,
That others are better then I,
That I can only be grateful,
...

Can I forget about the reasons?
Why or whom we do things?
I am tortured by the inner thoughts,
Of what one must do.
...

As Mother Nature relinquishes,
Her ultimate power over her man,
Sending the skies raining,
Air full of electrifying delight,
...

It’s a niggling feeling,
It’s a faint… but constant pain.
Of something I lost once,
Well torn from me, ripped from my grasp,
...

The echo of footsteps,
Fills the empty dim-lit walls.
Schools out? No yet,
I’m still here and with the zest,
...
