Amelia Patterson Poems

Feelings of love and care flow through
My entire body as I sit here.
Your touch is comforting, and
Your words are healing.
...

She searched for him the world
over.
He was in her dreams, but
when she tried to see his face,
...

Finding a four-leaf clover,
Like winning a mini-jackpot.
The luck is in locating it,
And treating it like gold.
...

Ponytail girl, twirl your hair
So that all may know
Your shiny flair.
...

Contemplation consumes me.
I sit here,
In my bathroom,
In the only place
...

Waiting to be used
for whatever purpose
it may serve.
It sits there quietly
...

Waiting anxiously for the time to sleep.
Not being for sure when the time will come.
Sitting lazily, counting the white sheep.
Waiting, waiting, feeling just so dang dumb.
...

To the classroom I go
Down various halls and
Up flights of stairs
As I run through my head
...

My prince, you make me feel
like a millionaire.
I enjoy when you serenade,
And gently play on my heartstrings.
...

Release...
The fear that harasses dreams.
Release...
The anxiety that eclipses the heart.
...
