Guinevere Eveleigh Poems

Have you ever seen a weed amongst the roses?
Striving and struggling to block out the sun from their precious petals
It is a pitiful sight of desperation of not greed or vanity
But seeking to be loved and admired by many
...

Bring her heart
In a box
Bring it for me to eat
Bring the heart
...

Robin, robin with your chest so red
How do you keep the color shade so young and fresh
Do you crush berries into your plumage?
Or make a dye from the petals of rose and poppies and tulips
...

How come my heart breaks
every time i hear your name?
How come i go mad
every time i feel your presence?
...

We will meet in heaven
When I have slipped away
We will embrace
At the golden gates
...

Waters once so brutal
Now a soothing blanket of calm
Ripples cease existence
No breeze lifts up afar
...

How do you fix a broken heart?
With string or tape
Or glue and cellophane
Do you wrap it in bubble paper?
...

Is it the roads we will meet our deaths?
It is what the teachers exhort us of at school
Men in neon uniforms come and warn us of the dangers
That teenage adrenalin can do
...

I’m not that girl
...

I think
The only reason
Why the sun
ever shines
...
