Kim Cresswell Poems

The night was dark and the wind blew strong,
I was in a place in which I did not belong,
The drinks were green and somewhat sour,
I felt like Rapunzel locked in her tower,
...

The prettiest things blossom from the hardest of places,
Like the longing of love from heartbroken faces,
That ache in your chest that never subsides,
Those tears in which stream from your reddened eyes.
...

Don't you miss your lunch-box days?
And following the latest mini craze?
When things were as simple as summer dresses,
No coursework, assignments or unneeded stresses,
...

The keys on a piano remind me of the grooves in a Roulette wheel,
Each key you press could be a gamble,
It might not sound right, it might not work,
But you know that once you press that key,
...

Protesting,
Sure it's part of human opinion,
To voice the thoughts of a potential million,
A quiet and clean voicing is what we would respect,
...

Water is the very source of my sorrow,
It rains from my eyes when I am forced to weep,
And no matter the day which comes after tomorrow,
This water will prevent me from my much needed sleep.
...

Whether we like it or not,
At some time,
On some day,
We will die,
...

“Perhaps a course of medication would be wise”,
A doctor advised,
Hiding behind a rice paper partition,
“I'm a well known Physician”,
...
