Susan Lacovara Poems

Only know if it's right

Or wrong
...

Come as you are
For we've come this far
To be lessened
From the lessons we've learned
...

The ever satisfactory coffee with cream
Marlboro Sunday morning smoke
Circling my tosselled, from last night, hair
Still somewhat sleepy
...

Fool was I to think you were the sun
For that blazing moment of beauty
Come undone...
...

Call me sweet pea
And I shall leave the lingering fragrance of me
Like honeysuckle hanging
...

See you in the shadow of the moon...

Meet you in my dreams....
...

Could my calm coax you
To surrender to that sniffling cold
Leave all undone
Gather and harvest all
...

I watch you sleep
Your skin shed
Your truth revealed
My endless wait over
...

In a fable long ago
A father spun
Perhaps to ease a daughter's pain
Stitch her torn soul
...
