Annie Mark Poems

The sinews in your arm tense and relax
Not so the tightness in my heart
We laugh and smile and are best friends
Trying so hard to just be as before.
...

It was a long hot day...
And a longer hotter ride in the lurching boat
Over swells that rolled gently
And spoke of the lurking monsoon
...

Head and heart
fighting a war inside
for dominion over my days actions
Over the desire to say i love you
...

Little words running along the page
And with a tap of fingers away it went
The email that told you I was leaving
...

will you remember me
If i am not there to remind you?

Will you recall my hand waving italian
...

Feels like the skin is tearing off my face
Slowly and painfully
The rips in heart are throbbing
And I try to ease into a vacuum in my head
...

It must have been a heaven
In its own right
To have that love
And that laughter
...

When the dragon came, I turned to my knight
Expecting him to rush out and slay the beast
When the night fell, I turned to my light
Thinking it would cast a glow
...

Is it done?
The goodbye
The waiting and wondering
The moon lingering on the hill..
...

Three little X's walked along their way
At the end of the page so far awy
Across the continents they flew
Through nights and days and datelines
...
