Steffi Webster Poems

Principles forged in the knowledge of youth,
Broken,
Lie on their foundation.
A tie between despair and elation
...

With flippant shadows and teasing smiles
Beguile the love of dreaming traps
That snips and snaps at the
Frivolous moon dance to entrance
...

Trembling tension builds beneath the skin
As the expectation swells for the sin,
Entirely inevitable cannot be thought
But the longing ever growing with
...

In the dark and the chaos
Fire burns.

Draws me like a beacon.
...

With tears like drops of arctic ice
And prayers and songs of old
...

And through the dank and
Rank despair he guides me
With his loving care.
His smile, his eyes, the
...

The plain white walls closing in
Suffocating open windows, crawl
And meander through my mind,
Unkind and unrefined.
...

I dream I have angel wings,
Feathery kisses to carry me higher
Never to tire, into the heaven
That is my delight. The height,
...

In the darkened times that
Strike no spark but mark
The soul with toil and malice
Raise the chalice of crystal
...

Icy ground a cold prison
Solid and unyielding
Unfeeling, not revealing
Any weakness
...
