Shelley L Baxter Poems

Wow, finally I am dreaming again!
Staying awake and scheming again!
Reading, praying and figuring things out,
hearing answers rain down from a spout.
...

Sleep eludes me.
Sanity escapes me.
And time is not healing
our wounds.
...

As purple blossoms glisten in the rain,
the birds chirp their sweet summer song.
Lingering scents of lilac delights my senses,
so I close my eyes and ponder thoughts of you.
...

Greyish clouds are strewn across the deep dark heavens,
stars not lacking in lustre shine through the sky like a sore thumb...
pulsing and vibrating as the wind rolls along the horizon.
The time is dusk and I feel the hard cool concrete beneath my back,
...

If you dislike us so much
why do you want to be
around us anyway?
...

I am at a loss, for the words to say,
for the pain you feel today.
I know this loss is harder then,
most difficult times along lifes way.
...

They made so many memories,
some of them untold, yet almost all enjoyed.
Their last mements together were
not so lovely, some of them devastatingly sad.
...

There is a place that I call my own
It's a place I treasure and can be alone.
It's somewhere I can go to just be free...
Where I can become exactly what I want to be.
...

A Love that is lost...
Is Love that failed to begin,
true Love stays within.
...

Sunlight streams through the windshield,
As I drive into the sunrise of life,
The beam of the spotlight although bright,
Doesn’t compare to the beauty of the moon tonight.
...
