Faustina Marie Poems

A mother's love
Wraps around you like the wind,
Invisible, incomprehensible, and inescapable-
Not that you would want to escape
...

Lovely, lovely, lovely;
They say that you are lovely

I see the sparkling in your eyes
...

I once went to a recital
For Spoken Word Poetry

A young man and woman
...

Waiting for the gun to go off
The bell to sound
The light to flash:
Waiting for my life to start
...

I hear the screams now,
Before, the sound of the explosion
Deafened me.
Now, the last piercing sound
...

Want and need
Passion and trust
Pleasure and pain
These are acquitted to love
...

Follow the worn stone path
And duck under the low hanging branch
Then reach,
Reach for the heavens however you can;
...

I know we've chosen seperate paths
and those paths may never cross again,
I know I've taken twists and turns
While you've stared blindly straight ahead
...

Conflict is undesirable
Defense is difficult
Contempt seems condemning
...

The body is strong
it has the drive,
the hidden reserve
to keep going, to push further
...
