April Monroe Poems

Time goes by and yet we pray,
"Dear Lord don't take me today."
We know it passes and never ceases
And still we yell, "But I've got reasons! "
...

Today, you said I was the one
You felt my love and held me close
Told me I was who you needed most
...

This and that and then more too
Not one thing I can't do
Dishes, laundry, floors all mopped
Toilets, carpets, anywhere husband's flopped
...

Not Enough

Not sure what else I can do
To make you long for me as I long for you
...

Those That Bloom

Flowers know how to grow
where the sun neglects to show
...

Beauty never more so cursed

Than for a woman for which men thirst
...

Is this a poem
Or just a bitch?
A way to proclaim
Our certain stitch?
...

Oh Ms. Faithful me,
why do I save myself for thee?
If God does truly exist
wouldn't he sympathize with my resists?
...

No one is good enough for you,
Not even the all glamorous Diana would do
At least that is how you've made me feel
That none can be worthy in grace or beyond you,
...

I wore a hint of purple lipstick today,
Not sure you noticed
As, you didn't say
...
