Victoria Gauci Poems

It doesn't come on bended knee,
It often sneeks in silently,
Clutching the heart and last breath,
An unwelcomed guest known as Death,
...

When I was little I can't recall,
When you were not bearing all,
Hardships, pain and broken marriages,
All the while with baby carriages,
...

I am left to my own devices in this world without my Mother.
She was the compass in the maps of my life.
She was my rock, my anchor, my stronghold, ever so bold.
She never steered me wrong.
...

When a baby is born of a mothers' heart,
From that day forward his journey starts,
A step each day along the road,
That leads our life from young to old,
...

Like an incision that never heals,
Seeping fluid that is love,
A puddle to gather 'round my feet,
Same as a rivers' flood,
...

One night there was a star above,
For all the world to see,
Angels, Kings and Shepherds all,
Down on bended knee,
...

I won't say your name,

For I don't know you anymore,
...

I knew in an instant that we would be close,
Just as those who have shared many years,
I knew in my heart that we'd created a bond,
All the worries I had disappeared,
...

The branches are heavy
With the weight
Of the snow,
They have transformed
...

Close your eyes and think of me,
I am standing beside you now
Holding your hand as you bend down and pray
Helping you figure out how
...
