Karen Alc. Poems

I didn’t notice you
You did notice me

I run from you
...

I could fall in love with you
So easy for me to see
What once seemed so blue
I no longer have to flee
...

What am I to you?
A chance to flee from the tangled web you weave
A bitter-sweet note from a violin of discord
The solitary butterfly on the branch of your willow tree
...

Il n’y a pas de quoi, my darling
You’re welcome, it was my pleasure
To be there for you when you needed me
And to go away when you were done with my love
...

When I gaze into your eyes
I cannot see them, for I see right through them
And it becomes apparent then that I have found my true abode
...

Sweetheart,

I know that was you trying to make it
Be patient, my angel, Mommy awaits
...

There's comfort in this darkness
My existence within the confines of this shell is numbing and safe
No need to risk the hurt caused by those experiences that life has to offer...
love, pain, bliss, desperation, elation, passion, misery, desire,
...

The flowers have withered
The seasons are changing
Never would have guessed
Our love would be clinging
...

The future is bright
The move of my life
Me in your arms
Brings absolute calm
...

For the first time, I feel that my life is real
It's amazing what happens when you allow yourself to live...
All of a sudden, life opens up to all the possibilites it has to offer
And you feel as if there's nothing you can't do.
...
