Isabella Francis Poems

Rushing through my cheeks like a waterfall,
Beware of the night when tears fall.
Beware, for they won't let me sleep,
All through the night I'll have to weep.
...

Dreams break
Houses shake
Your heart is shattered
You got to live your life
...

Thick and dark my blood flows free,
As red as the rose you once gave me.

My feet are cold my hands are numb,
...

I stood on the bus stop waiting and waiting
Watching the shadows on the street lengthening.

The bus however did not come, even if I waited night on night
...

The breeze blows,
Soft and soothing as a caress.
The breeze blows,
Taking with it all the stress.
...

You are responsible
For the longing
To meet someone like you
A few years ago
...

As the moon melts into silver,
Wind ripples along the river.

Drops of blood drip and dissolve in the flow,
...

I lay shrouded by blankets,
My shallow breathing could be heard in snippets.

I lay and wondered why was I still breathing,
...

It's okay to be late to school once in a while,
Specially if I get to see that wave and a cheerful hi.

I left home and waited under the gulmohar tree,
...

The bell chimed clear and high pitched,
It felt as if the night's silence had me ditched.

Who the hell was it to irritate me at midnight,
...
