Karen TeichCluster Poems

Hearts know nothing of time.
A lifetime of passion evolves in a moment;
Good-bye,
Whispered in a heart beat
...

Crying eyes don't see the signs
And empty arms get cold sometime;
But broken hearts are worst of all,
You cannot catch them when they fall.
...

We look back and relive the birth of memories of the lives we shared,
We look back and hear the laughter and feel the pain and taste the tears,
Of our joys, and our sorrows.
We look back and know we will always walk in the shadows of yesterday.
...

We have weathered many storms,
We have knelt in fear,
and prayed for our souls;
And cried to the heavens above,
...

Momma's kiss their baby boys
And sends them off to war.
Daddy says 'Be Brave, my son,
Stand proud at Freedoms' Door.
...

Your sting seeks us, everywhere;
Our names....our faith.
In desperate nightmares we hide,
Yet still you come.
...

Who will hear if a baby cries?
And who will answer when a child asks why?
Who will feed the hungry man;
And who will dare to take a stand?
...

End...
No time remaining.
I lost.
Again.
...

We never made it to the moon,
But we caught a few falling stars.
We'd hold them lovingly near our hearts,
And then watch helplessly as they faded away.
...

You are the sun that warms me
on cold lonely days.
And you are the moon that shines down
upon me at night as I sleep;
...
