Jennifer Conrad Poems

I am alone as a woman could be
Is there a man who could ever love me
I question and wonder what it’s all about
Until my questions are all shouted out
...

As the leaves flutter upon the ground
I strain to hear the distant sound
Of a baby’s cry, warm and soft
Once asleep in her little loft
...

For now love escapes me
For now I am so unhappy
When will my luck turn?
When will I ever learn?
...

I caught your eye from across the room
The lines on your face were etched with gloom
I smiled to show you a sense of charity
A smile you gave back, which delighted me
...
