Emma Vander Dussen Poems

End has come to visit me
From her flight of fancy
she landed upon my wrist
like a watch that has stopped its clockwork
...

Pegasus soars through the heavens
freed from the strength of Hercules.
dragons swoop by in curiosity
but never halt their fiery dance
...

Deep within the branches
shrouded from light, hidden from sight
her song calls us from the earth
to hear her sweet melodies
...

So soft are these eyes
that search into my soul
so graceful and delicate
that it is as though your fingers
...

I see your face
soft and pure
eyes dark
lips light
...

You are a thought within a rainstorm
Every dropp whispering your name
Like the whispers of comfort to lonely hearts
Drifting through the stormy skies
...

I wish you were around more
your presence brings more joy
than you could ever understand.
to hear your voice and see your smile
...

Each night I see her
so bright within the heavens
shining her purity upon us all.
she is the dot of light to
...

You are half gone into your slumber,
O my dreaming love. The sun has captured
your leaves and has transformed yellow to orange
orange to red, granting them their golden death
...

I wonder at the words within me.
They live inside my lungs, longing for release.
a breath may billow and bombard them
stirring them into sentences and structures
...
