Victoria Davis Poems

If you love me
bring me the moon.
Wait for it in the trees
at the far end of the yard,
...

Tasting life
But remaining hungry,
I turn and find you again.
...

What comfort to be pen and cob
who make their quiet bond,
and know they are never alone!
Not alone in the journeys of spring and fall,
...

One desire rolls down the mountain
with the storm winds as they rise;
crashing against the house
driving the rain, calling down lightning
...

There is a place beyond poetry;
A time when words
are inadequate messengers -
poor tools - unequal to the task.
...

I will love you until the March 31,1956 episode
of 'I Love Lucy' reaches the star V12,
in galaxy NGC4203
and echoes out into the blackness beyond.
...

Although I wait, my body silent, still;
I cannot call it patience that I feel -
A still body belies an active will,
And hopeful anticipation my real
...

The Moon will pardon.
I stole but two stars
from his celestial inventory
so my eyes might capture my love
...

Closed tight as my umbrella,
I move through the crowded train station
and out onto the busy campus
under cloud-darkened skies.
...

Love endures all things.
A brown mouse bears witness
that there is no such thing as 'over.'
What began in the light of a fluorescent moon
...
