AnnaLeigh Jones Poems

Oh daddy, let's play hide and seek.
Start counting to ten, but don't peek.
I'll hide under my bed while you and mommy talk a little too loud.
Daddy, please don't find me yet.
...

You say you know me.
You think you do.
But you've forgotten;
I know how to lie.
...

I've been living inside your perfect lie
a thousand years too long.
I can't escape, I dont remember
the truth which opens the door.
...

When he is in my audience
My voice will tremble.
If he is among those hearing me,
My bow on the strings will tremble.
...

Blink, pictures behind my eyes.
Memories tear my arm.
Sound the alarm.
Blink, the lights flash in the skys.
...

I know that you have been hiding yourself
In a dark room, disguised
As a Romanesque Cathedral
Hidden, yet obvious to itinerant eyes.
...

Darling, did you know that I'm still here?
Did you know that I still care?
You're my only reason to stay my dear,
So why do you not see me?
...

For a hundred years I've wandered in the dessert.
No food, no water,
No meat for slaughter.
My husband left nothing to sustain me for now or forever.
...

The first day, the last tear:
Reality, non-existant.
The first step, the last hope:
Tortured by sheer distance.
...

Stare at the floor and don't be seen.
You can take this, You can take anything.

Stay strong, you child, you've shed too many tears.
...

Knock Knock.
Who's there?
Me.
Me who?
...

I wish I were only a wave...
Forming...
Rising...
Beautiful...
...

The birds fly south
at the autumns chilly end,
but the black dove can never
return to her northern home again.
...

14.

If my heart had wings
and could fly away,
it would fly to you
and with you it would stay.
...

My name is shadow, the captive silhuette upon the wall.
I live the echos of the dead, the silent, the heros and their fall.
They whispered 'Can anybody see me? '
They wondered 'Why can't they hear me scream? '
...

Here's your chance; Save me.
Don't let this break me.
You're the only one I know
who still wants to be my hero.
...

I let you lose yourself, my friend,
so you could find the man you lost.
Well, have you found him yet?
Of corse not.
...

18.

If I ever speak no one will understand.
For I speak the language which everyone knows,
but no one remembers.
The words which everyone has heard,
...

Up the hill, to the gate of the garden,
Do I silently crawl.
My solitude of secrets and memories,
Vines growing up the wall.
...

Let me hold on to you, my love.
Let me savor this angel, fallen from above.
I am yours wholy, now please by mine.
Let heavan and earth be intwined.
...

The Best Poem Of AnnaLeigh Jones

How I Was So Naive

Oh daddy, let's play hide and seek.
Start counting to ten, but don't peek.
I'll hide under my bed while you and mommy talk a little too loud.
Daddy, please don't find me yet.
I want to wait until you forget
that I do everything wrong, even though I want to make you proud.

Oh daddy, where did you hide.
I woke up this morning and you weren't inside.
And mommy took the kitchen knife into her room.
Daddy, please, where are you now?
Did I upset you again somehow?
Whatever it was, I'm sorry. Please come home soon.

Oh daddy, I've been looking for you
in other men who treat me like you were supposed to.
They tell me they love me, but they kiss me a little too long.
Daddy, when they break my heart
It reminds me of how you tore me apart.
I don't let it bother me because I know how to be strong.

Oh daddy, it's been 10 years today
since you left, but you still won't go away.
I guess no man can replace you, like I believed.
Daddy, please, just leave my thoughts.
I have enough pain in my life, which you brought.
I still can't fathom how I was so naive.
