Edwina Reizer Poems

A diploma hanging on the wall
is really not you at all.
It's just a piece of paper.
...

Loneliness comes in the middle of my night
and interupts my reverie.
The darkened room, the soundless void
is in tune with me.
...

What would you do if I could not wait,
would not wait for you?
You would never see me in evening
or in the morning's dew.
...

Step into the shoes I've worn.
Feel where I have stepped.
Observe the places I have walked
and feel the tears I've wept.
...

My old friend
He never said a word.
'I'm fine he said.
That's all I ever heard.
...

I can't hear the music
although I try each day.
You took it with you when you left me
and then went on your way.
...

When you get to the bottomless pit
of where you think you are,
Then the only way there is for you
is up, up close to a star.
...

Has history taught us nothing
but tales and ancient lies?
All wrapped up in stories
not told us by the wise?
...

Some are born with imagination
that never leaves them alone.
They think. They dream and always observe
for intuitively they've always known
...
