Annie Cordelia Adams Poems

i always kinda thought it would end in a broken heart
i just never knew it would be mine

i always thought it would end in a death
...

you started out sky diving
it's not anymore
it's not even flying when someone's holding you up
...

I suddenly feel free
like I've reached the top of the mountain,
but not the reaching that has turned the key
...

If the beauty of truth were quick,
I would stand immortally at Sea,
Gazing for eternity at Sea
...

I left my heart at Sea-
they say....

In the towering lighthouse-
...

Every stroke of the violin
in this romantic love song
is a silver twisted Dagger.
The pain is far too strong,
...

The magical realm of the Victorian era
aeroplanes whistled through cleaner air
England throned the desert Sahara
...

the Sea, my home,
tamed by the wild winds
is the simple road that waits
while the refined use its rapid currents
...

As the smoke rises from the houses of the dead
The dead carry their dead from the bed to the grave
The sound of a drum beats in my head
...

no, really, you continue calling
but i do not want to speak
honestly i see too much of you
so i've spoken my piece
...
