Dorothy (Alves) Holmes Poems

The forever of you
Is in between all I do...
In a passing field of flowers
In the morning sky,
...

I sing a sad song for the cold, lonely
Moments no one will admit to aloud.

I sing a sad song for all of the broken
...

These hands hold small bowls
Of muted laughter
Rising with soft edges
Against the sky
...

Once upon a time
Once upon a dream
Once upon a heart break
Once uppon a tear
...

Shasta Dasies light
My mother's shady garden
Making her happy
...

We said goodbye
Long before this final farewell.
My heart once cold to any thought
Of you,
...

Eyes behold wealth of
Garden's beautiful treasures
Flowers winged and scented
...

Hear the buzz of the bees?
See the blooming of the trees?
Hear the birds as they sing...
Wake up! Wake up! Sleepy heads
...

Twirling
Falling aimlessly
My ode to love was inaudible
Whirling against the breath and sigh
...

You told my heart farewell
And I was left with unshed tears, and
With a love that will deepen
Throughout the coming years.
...
