Aleysha MacIntosh Poems

Jenny was so happy about the house they had found.
For once in her life it was on the right side of town.
She unpacked her things with such great ease.
As she watched her new curtains blow in the breeze.

Remember the days,
When we'd run and play.
Remember the house,
Remember the trees.

My Grandfather

When I was just a little girl,
Adults voices around me’d whirl

Dearest Sister

Gentle as a dove,
Like an angle

I prayed for you before we met,
Not knowing who you'd be.

One chosen just for me.

When I turned five, I would fight to be alive.
I just turned nine, and my life was on the line.
I coughed myself to sleep, I dreamed of cold winter sleet,
I woke up later that night and saw a white bright light.
...

Don’t Ask.

You can ask me why, ask me to cry.
Ask me to walk over, ask me to crawl under.

Sleeping with Syddie

My sister, I am sorry, i never meant to hurt thee.
I simply wanted you to be happy,
