Almedia Knight-Oliver Poems

We sat on the creaky porch- as
Twilight replaced daylight-
Watching the sun warm down in its
slide into the colorful shades of the West.
...

Sitting in the back seat,
Seeing his eyes glancing
Right to left, as we drove along-
Side the grassy knolls.
...

My mirror tries to convince me that I’m old.
Yet I have a fresh face I’m told.
So these furrows in this body I behold, as
I recognize skin-deep beauty does not rebirth.
...

The gracious tree stands tall
blooms strung along her limbs.
Yet her trunk bows in gratitude!
...

Grey, my hair when we met.
Young men and no men no longer
held their breath when I passed
...

A friend reaches for your
hand and touches your heart

Thoughtfulness is your gift…
...

What you give you shall receive, unaltered or
The Karma you put into the universe returns unaltered…I believe

Love and you shall be loved
...

In every question, elicits an answer
In every answer elicits, a question
In what does the truth exist?
...

Only I find less comfort in only me
The likes of me ends the former me
Because I desire a brand-new-me
...

From a distance:
East, South, West, and North
Surrounded and maintains balance
going forth.
...
