Susan Lacovara Poems

could you care
just a little more (out loud)
shout from the silence of your room
sing, even if off key
...

Farm fresh brown eggs
rest in a bowl
near the pottery pitcher
holding coral tea roses
...

He gave me my very own set of stars
To plaster to paint my universe
In a box filled with birthday wishes
A wonderous surprise
...

I spent a thirsty day without water
Agitated and aggravated
As it was not of my doing
Instead the result of a drunken landlord
...

So many windows, I walk past
each day, from different directions,
towards different destinations...
...

With eyes wide as saucers,
she, the night owl
quiets and considers...

Friend to the frost of the night air,
...

Ah, but to obtain
The last first kiss
Stolen from his lips
To consummate forever
...

In all my layered light
The beam falls to your face
At dawn the day breaks open
Illuminating what I never knew before
...

Drawn to the halcyon heat of
His smile
And the blinding light
that is his laughter
...

Whenever we walk together
We find our better place
Worries melt away for another day
And the sun is on my face
...
