Edwina Reizer Poems

Oh this beating heart of mine
beats not just for me.
It has a rhythm all its own
and beats irregularly.
...

The fog rolled in
while the night was young.
There your eyes to me
spoke in words silently.
...

On the days that still remain with me
I fear I sleep too late.
I must shorten those sleeping hours
because I have a date
...

How can the sky be so irreverently blue?
There shall never be a heavenly hue
that will ever fill my eyes.
For all the skies have been replaced
...

The silence engulfs me
on a starless night.
And somber feelings
become my plight.
...

Oh to be imprisoned within a cage
and not allowed to fly
brings to me melancholy
that makes me want to die.
...

If you wish to hear music within your ear
you must quiet yourself inside.
For all the dissonance surrounding this world
will have you try to decide.
...

Tired hands my pen commands
and they don't have time to rest.
They've held this pen for 4 and ½ years
and know that they have been blessed.
...

Do you look at the ceiling in bed at night
and wish it away so you can sight
the stars in the sky and a golden moon
and realize that you're not in tune
...

Was there rain coming down that day?
I really can't remember.
My mother says it was cold and dreary
on that day in December.
...
