Nia Schexnider Poems

Joe, my love,
My turtledove,
I've known you not so long,
But it seems, within this dream,
...

There is a twinkle in the distance, a light,
that wraps around you and holds you tight,

The sun casts his shadows, shading
...

I read a poem the other day and I thought about the words,

The words, the rhythm, the meter and the rhyme,
...

When I feel sad,
It is like the sky turns grey,
The air stands still,
The trees don't move.
...

I love you,

.................. I love you too,
...

The sky is our ancestor, life was created there,

A few inorganic molecules in a lightning storm.
...

Strength please find me,
I have fallen and I can't get up.

There is too much in my cup,
...

I feel so much, and yet, so little,
I feel so old my bones feel brittle.
...

i'm really feeling blue,
cuz my ear hurts and i don't know what to do.
...

So, there is no more road to drive down,
No more cars, no more town.
You are here, but where to now?
...
