Vanessa Hughes Poems

Well below your ego
There's a place that doesn't care
What people say or think or do
It's very peaceful there
...

I didn't know you
But I longed to
I never held you
But I yearned to
...

Less and less people
Seem to care
About each other
And more about their
...

Choose to be happy
Take that option today
Find delight
In a contented way
...

At the end of my coping
At my falling apart
The work of my angel
Repaired my poor heart
...

If you eat, dream, sleep someone
And desire gets out of hand
The thoughts running round your head
Are more than you can stand
...

You played a game
I knew it then
I know it now
...

I want to wear twin-sets
With pearls and beige slacks
I want to do lunch
At a place named 'Chez Jaques'
...

I've lost my sense of humour
Can't think when I had it last
I know it was there
When I cut my own hair
...

Manipulating, scheming lass
How could I let her so,
Break me down, and work my thoughts
Then watch her grow and grow
...
