Vanessa Kingsley Poems

To say how you feel
To see if it's real
You have only
60 seconds
...

I don't know if You can hear me
Or if You're even there
I don't know if you would listen to the words I bear
The nights are cold
...

I poke you with a stick
I see you’re not that happy
It was just a joke
I didn’t poke that hard
...

Starbursts of flames light up the sky
For a period of time
Water runs cool and then turns blue
For a period of time
...

Shot down in the middle of town
He lies there in the cold white snow
Look around
At all the children’s frowns
...

I pluck on my guitar strings
Then I press down on piano keys
I fiddle with my violin
Before I come back again
...

Walk down the alleyway
Watch your step
Close your eyes today
Or else you’ll fine that everyone sees you
...

Small, young and innocent
I wonder where I’ve hidden it
I wonder if I’ll ever find it again
Playing hide and seek all day
...

Is this the role I now play
This was supposed to my game
I should be the Queen in my world
How did I end up a lowly pawn
...

Won’t you speak to me
My pretty friend
You shouldn’t be hanging your head
Pick it up and smile
...
