Sydney Daniels Poems

Intensity,
Heat,
Skins straining to meet.
...

your cool touch sets my skin afire
the heat melting my conscience
filling empty with desire
rendering my mind impervious to consequence.
...

My heart is an empty apartment.
The rooms chill with silence,
Suffocating my hopes of ever
Finding someone who wants to rent.
...

'Your words aren't right',
'Your structure sucks, '
'I would have used 'opportunity'
Instead of 'luck' '.
...

I watch you drive away
And don't know how to feel.
It isn't over, it can't be over
There is no way this is real.
...

Looking in my window
What would a person see?

A woman possessed of poise and grace
...

Thoughts travel
Freefalling
Tumbling
From the cells and neurons
...

The need for speed
A racer's creed
What truly do they see
While commiting daring deed?
...

Black and white
White and black
The future is not defined
By looking back.
...

Wrapped in my lover’s arms
My head on his chest
I asked what Christmas gift he wanted,
Intent on a quest.
...
