Keri Jopplin Poems

Little girl, what happened in your small world?
Were you Daddy's desire, his little girl?
A woman now, your life has been lost,
Fantasies and pleasure were taken at your cost.
...

sittin on the side walk kickin in the dirt
smudges on their elbows chocolate on their shirt

their eyes fixed up & down the highway, their life aint really so bad
...

I felt the ardent of your adept
the sun glowed as I slept

I felt the brush of your cheek
...

He's questioning the lay out and rubbing his muzzle;
Thinking 'bout the cycles and pondering with puzzle.
Confused and dazed, to operate it's easy.
His stomach's in knots and soon he's queasy.
...

Parents aren't perfect and not always right,
But seducing your children isn't too bright!
What happened to love and kindness in touch;
Why is there pain, shame and such?
...

You''ve unlocked my heart and kept the key;
I'm unable to breath, unable to flee.
You've showed me love, gave my heart a home
Grateful to you, I'm no longer alone
...

Do I dare approach passion with loaded gun?
Hoping to hear your heart, to taste your tongue?

Be fair I say, hearts mercies are tender, unfeigned.
...

She dances upon snow gone lost in her dreams,
Wiggles turn to giggles as she makes angel wings.
Wishing upon stars under beams of the moon,
She hums her favorite, a lost & forgotton tune;
...

I'm in deep thoughts of you today,
Every day I feel your presence,
You are living in my soul,
As I go with my reminiscence.
...

I will succumb this volupty winter, you with bowed head
In harmony of snowflake kisses, delicate, unprotected

Unmitigated fondness, left unbruised, unsaid
...
