Helen Crutchett Poems

When each day's dawn
Spreads a splash of pink
I paint my mood a happy hue.
...

When I was a child the raw
earthy decadent smell of carnival,
flashing mirrors and bright lights
frightened me.
...

My heart will go on beating
When sweet blossoms bloom until
Butterflies announce in flight
renewal is only fleeting.
...

Night drips inky blackness
around a crescent moon,
as silent clouds delicately
float soft silver beams.
...

Whisper to me poems
penned by my poet's gentle hand,
his lyrics sonnets' sentimental songs
every word of love dipped in dewy tears of dawn
...

Straining to catch sunlight
the willow weeps.
Along the riverbank of longing
I no longer feel warm.
...

I am filled with the universe descending upon me
AM I dancing with the vast infinite nature of creation or
A burgeoning, blossoming of a beautiful Earth?
WOMAN thinks, prays and meditates her breathing
...

Lift me like an olive branch
and be my homeward dove
toward those tempting isles
that await a tranquil mood.
...

Unplayed melodies remain
unfinished symphonies refrain
love songs not yet sung
a violin yet to be strung
...

You breezed into my desert life
For a brief moment in time
across the luna landscape of my mind
A labyrinth maze of emotions felt
...
