susan brealey Poems

She never speaks a word
and she never knows why.
But she is always pushing harder
until she breaks down and cries.
...

That ring on your finger
Was suppose to be mine
You took him away from me
Do you know how much it hurts?
...

For a long time now,
I have watched you from afar,
Wanting to steal a kiss,
and keep it in a jar
...

And this is for all who have ever hoped
For all the ones who sometimes get so much lost in their thoughts
Every-time they think about you
How they die for just a little smile
...

I had a perfect day
I laughed
I joked
I smiled today
...

Such beauty reigns within the heart of you
invisible to naked eye of most
the fragrance of your flesh like morning dew
reminds me of salt air along the coast.
...

If you could feel my words they'd touch you softly,
Like my hand grazing your cheek, warming your heart,
And sending you comfort and peace.
If you could hear my fingers tapping nimbly
...

There were times I looked with wonder, at everything I found,
A rock, a shiny marble, a bug upon the ground.
And often I'd be scolded, because the street was near,
But I knew it came from love, and perhaps a bit of fear.
...

It starts with a look,
so simple.
Filled with intentions
not yet understood.
...

I know that you don't feel for me
The way I feel for you.
We're good friends, I value that,
There's nothing you need do.
...
