Angela Marie Lara Poems

I can hear it in the trees
as they bend and stretch.
I can see it in the stars
in their twinkling brightness.
...

Your feelings change
when the wind shifts direction.
You demand changes from me
and label it a suggestion.
...

Faced with immeasurable confrontation
I cry out in desperation
Filled to the brim with immense frustration
I search for answers with no education
...

How can you just walk away?
How can you ignore what I want to say?

Just turn your back, head for the door
...

When she was born,
I was there
Not you.
...

A smile...
It doesn't seem like much
but it is sometimes quite hard
to rearrange those frowning muscles
...

Sometimes two souls
Working through life
Touch each other
And make a light
...

There comes a time
a moment
a feeling
When it all falls away
...

When I close my eyes
I can see you
Standing naked before me
Begging me
...

These ragged wounds
wrap crimson rivulets
around my wrist
that meet and fall
...
