Mitzie Holstein Poems

Looking through my window
Feeling the wind on my face
Watching cars people and buses go by
Ah! the spirit of the human race
...

You look at me with dark brown eyes
Eyes that say, 'I've known you all my life.'
I look at you and your deep, sunken eyes look almost like mine
...

A father is someone who is always strong
He makes you feel better when everything has gone wrong
He'll make you laugh he'll make you cry
He wants you to marry the right kind of guy
...

Awake at night
Lights sparkling bright
People from unknown places
Egged into crowded spaces
...

Do you read my inbox?
Can you feel my rage?
Do you take a gasp
As you read my page?
...

Somewhere in the forties
Lies one of life's mysteries
Expected
Pounces
...

To live alone
Is to die
A lonely death
...

Inside of every breathing human being
Is a way to relate
To song
Religious
...

What's this foolishness I hear
Of careless words
Whispered
Written in your head?
...

Pit pat
Drips the blood on the page
Driblets
Droplets
...

Give me a word
And I will make it mine
Twisting it
Fixing it
...

Nobody knew of the pain
The things that drove you insane
Trying to stay true to the self
While working to please everyone else
...

I thought of suicide
So I decided to check myself in
Totally against my morals
One of the greatest sins
...

When we die
We die alone
For tis a journey
We must take
...

15.

I am the deep blue waters of the Caribbean sea
So don't you dare try to decipher me
When golden sunrays filter through my curtain
I am warm and strong
...

My mind is perturbed
Just like the waters that line Jamaican trenches
After a heavy downpour of rain
Like the water that gushes down the gully
...

Land of freedom
Land of war
Land of peace
There you are
...

Full speed ahead my child
God is right by your side
...

When love becomes hate
It spoils the essence of life itself
When peace becomes war
It tears up and breaks down
...

Were you on the street, in a crowd or just by yourself in a room?
Did you cry for yourself, for him, for whom he was or for whom you thought he'd become?

Where were you on the day he died?
...

Mitzie Holstein Biography

I was born in a small hospital at a place in the hills of Trelawny called Ulster Spring. I was raised in an even smaller area, called Joe-Hut. As a little girl, I recited poems in both church and school. I even participated in school poetry competitions on the local level. Years have passed and I am still a lover of poetry. However, I take the time to create my own poems from the heart. My poetry is contradictory. Some will cause you to question, challenge the way you look at life. Whatever the outcome, they have been written to inspire. They will force you to dare, to think, to dream, to become...)

The Best Poem Of Mitzie Holstein

My Window

Looking through my window
Feeling the wind on my face
Watching cars people and buses go by
Ah! the spirit of the human race
For a while troubles disappear
No talk of the rent due
Do I want to hear
Just let me sit or lay on my bed
And watch cars people and buses
As they go by
