Edwina Reizer Poems

Wars are fought by babes with a gun,
fought by them but never won.
Taught to think that war is just,
to preserve freedom is a must.
...

We know simply
by the grace of God
humanity continues
with most of us odd.
...

What is it that brings us here
into this place of chaos and fear?
Is it because of what we lack
that always seems to bring us back?
...

Wherever you are, wherever you go
is where my thoughts do roam.
The melancholy I'm left with
is gone when you come home.
...

He ran like the wind.
But the wind kept chasing him.
He bragged like a lion.
But the lion roared his breath at him.
...

We've been crossing a bridge
for way too long.
And every step we're taking
is just plain wrong.
...

In the corner of a white marbled hall
stood the most beautiful urn.
For years it was handily polished
and oh how it did yearn
...

In the palm of your hand
you hold my heart.
Cradle it gently, my love
so it will never fall apart.
...

Had this one day never occured
then all the music that I've heard
would all be put to rest.
All the sounds that love has brought
...

Where are the dreams that came to me?
They're lost inside my reverie.
They seemed so alive for a little while
but now they've disappeared.
...
