Denise Headley Poems

I was only little and helpless
I couldn't do anything about it
I never knew you
But I will always love you
...

I sit by the pond
Looking down at baby Regal Tang fish
Pondering, wondering when someone might pick me
I am a glorious aqua marine rose
...

You have a son.
You have a wife.
You are perfect right at this second.
You turn around and laugh with your son.
...

I sit by the pond
Looking down at baby Regal Tang fish
Pondering, wondering when
...

The most beautiful tree stands
there all full and grown.
One leaf, that's all that's fallen.
A new baby girl is born.
...

I sit there, mad, frustrated
Hating me, hating my life
With that sharpened slick knife in hand
I cry, cry at all the things I went through
...
