Shelley L Baxter Poems

Money is not the be all
certainly is not the end all,
...

If it were up to me I wouldn’t say goodbye
I would hold you close all throughout our lives.
...

If these four walls could fuss and fight
they would run away from me tonight.
They sense my thoughts are doom and gloom
I'd hear them yell, 'Just leaveThe room!
...

I feel so helpless. Washed up on the rocks.
My arms and legs tied behind me...
In a distance there you are, sinking out of my sight.
I flop and wiggle trying to release myself from the fishers net
...

As I lie here upon my bed,
I think of all the things you said...
and I wonder if their true,
I want to hear it from you.
...

Will I be the next one they look at
lying cold as ice, pasty-not white
...

Hand and hand we walk in silence
no words need pass our lips
Feeling content and alive...
we are taken aback by Gods gifts.
...

Beau's last day on earth?
Sadly, tearfully, it
seems to be...
He stole our hearts for 14 yrs,
...

The man over there
looks upset again today
I know I should help him...
but I don't know what to say.
...

I'll dream of you tonight as you have said you do.
We will hold each other tight Until the day is new.
When the dawn begins to break...I'll cradle you no more,
imagined kisses on my neck, My heart will no longer soar.
...
