Michelle Tiddy Poems

I heard a song last night
Alone in my car, in the velvet dark
It epitomised my feelings, my reelings
And I began to understand
...

How can our tender hearts
Bear so much pain
Why are we able
To always love again?
...

Swinging on the apple tree
There were you and there was me
Like brother and sister we grew
Cowboys, indians, pirate dreams
...

She's an old lady now
Who gazes out of the window
Counting the birds that fly by
Dreaming of the buttercups of youth
...

A simple case of lack of faith
When you should really have enthused..
And love me and trusted me
Because I am your muse
...

How cruel is fate?
Allowing me to know you
To feel your heart, to cup your pain
To pick you up when you fall down
...

Have you ever felt truly alone?
Well, I do right now
Just lost in my own song
Not knowing anything, anymore
...

When a tiny melody catches your breath
And wonderful lyrics impound your brain
The clarity of a voice stirs your heart
You know you've finally come home
...

Would you like life to be a movie?
Which film would you choose?
Which character would you play?
Happy ending or tragedy...
...

What makes you smile in this world?
Those things that undeniably
Make your lips curl spontaneously
At their sheer beauty?
...
