Faith Elizabeth Brigham Poems

a woman's face wears many masks
her precious secrets to conceal
so a man may sit and ponder
if what he sees is truly real
...

i envy the woman whose lips
your ample mouth has gently kissed
whose very look enslaves your soul
i ponder yet all i have missed
...

my heart is strongly set
to do what good i can do
and when i leave this world
i hope to have made a difference
...

i do not know my strength
nor see myself as other people do
i can not be all things
to others or please all for
...

i delight in
days like today
when we are alone
alone together
...

momma, don't be angry
is it something that we did
momma, don't ignore us
as we climb on top your bed
...

dance dance dance
it's time for
a little romance
chance chance chance
...

they say pride comes
before the fall
who will be there for you
if there is anyone at all
...

Women bleed while
men eat ice cream...
and other things
to get over someone...
...

the sun, the sun
the sun will rise
just like always
i'll wake, i'll wake
...
