Amanda Eckols Poems

I dance to music only I can hear
oh how I wish I could share its sweet song
I laugh for no reason except that I can
hoping other will join in
...

The flower grows short theres no way around it
the tree towers above reaching place it could only dream
the vine twist round anything it can find
while the sun shines down equal upon all
...

Brilliant memories silent dreams
A tear shed ten wiped clean
In a well light classroom
on an average day
...

If I show you how I wont be special
then I'l have to think of something so much better
brand new never thought of ever
nothing I am all I was before
...

the colors are so vivid
still I know its a dream
its almost too perfect
its hard to believe
...

I love on instinct and learn to hate
I wear my emotion for everyone to see
I smile and I laugh I cry and I scream
(You can see it all, just look at my sleeves)
...

In the age of communication I find I amusing to say:
I’ve tried so hard to write what I feel but words just don’t seem to do
How can I ever choose the perfect one when my head say ‘em all
I think… I feel.. all emotions at once.
...

Hope was once a gleaming star in the sky
Now its like fireworks that have long since died
I was on top of the world and in once fleeing glace
I hit the ground and it hit back…
...

I want to stumble I want to fall
for without mistakes ot aint really life
Lecture away Im sure I'll hear nothing
for theres nothing you say I havent heard before
...

He grabs my hand sensing something’s not right
I fake a smile and turn around
He patiently waits for the crowd to be gone
And quietly ask me to tell him what’s wrong
...
