Theresa Ann Moore Poems

A Smile

My mind swims with thoughts of his magnetic charms.
His captivating smile created a longing to be in his arms.
...

My dad loved to play the violin.
Magic strings held secrets within.
A galloping bow played a rhapsody.
Rosin added a pulse to the melody.
...

Recently I took a trip to the California shore.
On the way back home, I found an open door.
We landed in Chicago to eat dinner and confer.
At the gate entrance we waited for our transfer.
...

Making a decision is a responsibility
A choice that may be recorded in infamy
There is a fear of being judged badly
A safe response is, 'well… maybe.'
...

The early morning hours
Are cautiously weighed…
Choices have been made
...

Petals of a flower are brighter
There is a fragrance in the air
That earlier wasn’t there
...

Beautiful skies changing hour by hour
Floating clouds billow, streak and follow
Catching glints of sunlight…heightening majesty
Enhancing tranquility as gentle winds blow
...

Friction and static made my touch hot
From my finger tip a jolt of electricity shot
In a moment I disabled an electronic track
Volume on the TV made a thunderous attack
...

A mother worries about the choices that her son may make.
She knows she has let him make decisions for his own sake.
As sirens scream, a mother sits in darkness choking back tears.
She prays that her boy is safe and calms her doubting fears.
...

Dreading with stress, knowing that the day is here
I should share in your excitement without any fear
You are going so far… fulfilling your dream to travel
On the drive to the city airport I’ll try not to unravel
...
