CAROL HUGHES Poems

The taste is there
Love biting
Constricting
My throat
...

Arayette sat
on the driftwood
her feet hanging limply
as the water eased
...

You sit there and say,
'You don't know me.
A lie like that
Slips out too easily
...

TODAY IS A DAY
AMONG MANY
SOME GOOD
SOME NOT
...

IF WORDS A PICTURE PAINT
AND MUSIC IS MAGIC
TAKING US
OUT OF OURSELVES
...

I sat by
Wished my life away
Watched the sun set
And wanted more
...

There is passion
lightning bolts
arcing between us
...

So happy to have
you here with me
as I sit by your side
wistful and longing
...

There is a misty sky above
below silence exists
but for the rhythmic ker-plop
of the water beads
...

If you need me
I'll be around
In the summer,
Especially
...
