Elise Colon Poems

The earth shook
My heart fluttered with every word you uttered
I opened my mouth but couldn't breathe because my heart left me no words to speak. It sent out a beating rhythm of love tangled with absolute certainty that you were the one for me.
If a look could decide then the decision was made when we touched with our eyes.
...

Hiding behind a thick brick wall
lay things that can't be told.
Feelings, feelings, sad, but true eat at my heart.
Things I'm to afraid...
...

They come.
They'll be with you for awhile.
They will share your old memories and create new ones.
You know them, you like them.
...

My neighbor's home is magnificent and white.
I loved this house as if it were my own.
Fun, laughter, good old times...
is what I experienced there all the time.
...

Poetry is showing whats really there.
Hidden secrets that lay deep within words.
learning, growing, and understanding someone
behind an unopened door...
...

When I think of that place (think of that place)
yes, it is where I ought to be.
Lively, happy, complete you see
is how i felt there.
...

And what's to happen when everything is done?
Do we go back to a beginning far away from where we are?
Will we fade from each other after each passing day or could our lives remain the same?
Speaking with a troubled tongue, I see that you are the lonely one, but from you I will never run..
...

Smiling enough.
Laughing enough.
Listening enough.
Thinking, but too much
...

And I'll watch you deteriorate before my eyes
and don't be surprised when I forget to cry
As fear lies in your mind, rest a sure things will NEVER be fine.
In life, broken glass cuts at skin very thin
...

Oh joy at what I heard!
Words I thought I miss heard, but suddenly it's real
I had a feeling it might have played out like this
Oh, how I only want you to be happy and how my heart feels when you are
...
