Deb Fowler Poems

Rented sign
in bold letters
'Souls Wanted, Apply Within'
...

I stand tall, naked
limbs extended to the sun

proudly, I reach for the sky
...

The rains had come
to cool and soothe
the ashes & embers
of burnt out thoughts
...

Along came death....then
her arms held open wide....that day
Sometime later eyes open....now
sweeping gently for remnants of life....forever
...

I am my Mother, as I weep
when reading of death and life,
knowing forever exists only in
the mind.
...

He took a long last drag
as he looked
out across the water,
the birds raced and dived,
...

'W' wages war
while wives...widows weep
what will we win?
...

I tried to hide the darkness
but it showed upon my skin

I tried to hide the sorrow
...

I know
the robins song
in the dawn
I know
...

I have not eaten for
I feed on thought
wild, hungry gnawing
consuming mind and body.
...
