Victoria Gauci Poems

There once was a fly named Red,
Who loved to fly around my head,
He'd land on my nose,
And sit there and pose,
...

In you I see the candles lit at both ends,
A fascinating life with many good friends,
You view the world from your own vantage point,
Like a comfy bar stool in your favorite joint,
...

When things were so beautiful, my heart was an open door,
Now things have been painful and I can't take anymore,
So much was wonderful back when I found you,
You're different, now I don't want to be around you,
...

I am sad,
I am mad,
I am glad,
I am confused,
...

I can't move my own mind,
It is steadfast in it's place,
Always things that need to be done,
Life is an endless race,
...

My heart starts pounding so very fast,
And I wonder if my soul will last,
Through the pain and awful fire,
Too long I've allowed it to transpire,
...

The Christmas wonder comes to close,
And wearily I feel woe,
My heart is dripping icicle tears,
For loss of moments and the years,
...

As I look at all of this cigarette dust,
A tool of divorce that beings disgust,
I've used it to cool the inner furnace,
And bring all my issues to the surface,
...

When I think of you,
A smile comes to my face,
As quick as the wind,
Or a warm embrace,
...

I love you, have I told you that I love you?
Have I told you how abundantly I think of you?
You bring comfort to my life and shelter to my soul,
Just thinking about you makes me feel whole,
...
