Fiona Burgess Poems

Sitting in another rush hour traffic jam,
Watching the inbound traffic cruising past me and away,
I look at their blank faces
And I wonder, do I look the same?
...

There's a special place in heaven
For a heart as good as yours
Someone as wonderful as you are
Recieves only open doors.
...

Here in the darkest hours before dawn,
She lies awake and wondering
At the passing of the storm.
Thoughts she left far behind
...

Half measures and cracked cups
Upon a feast of souls the devil sups
Laughing gleefully all the while
At the angels pained smile
...

Welcome to my kingdom.
I know these walls are high,
They're thick and solid
And cast with iron
...

Heaven sent forth her angels of vengeance
On a night when the moon was dark
The air was as still as a grave
And the stars shone bright
...

I want to show you how much I care.
I want to share my dreams.
I want to be brave enough to dare,
But I don't know how.
...

She felt cast adrift on a tideless ocean
Devoid of life, Bereft of motion
But far, far beneath the diamond-like surface
Swam the moon without emotion.
...

Fear comes in small doses
Sometimes smelling like hybrid roses
Lulling you into an indifferent daze
Those malevolent eyes like to gaze
...

Her eyes gleam like polished stone
In the fading light of day
Standing poised on the edge of eternity
She releases the chaos from around her.
...
