Leah Ayliffe Poems

Distant bells open my eyes
Bringing me back to where i am
My dream now lost in my mind
I'm awake as I'll ever be
...

To wander in the distance, over a petal of a rose
In deep thought of what has been
Or what has not
Drifting in an ocean that hugs earths’ surface for eternity
...

The mundane talk around me makes me want to die
I cry tears of crystal, clear and majestic 
Sparkling in the moonlight
I can't handle staying here in this mediocre world when I'm soaring past the stars in my heart 
...

my biggest secret,

and saddest song,
...

Beside the clouds I can clearly see
I'm not flying away, but towards a truer me
Sunshine in the dirt, life in the rain
Yesterday stores away a far off distant pain
...

Vegas, notorious as the city of sin,
My sweet city of paradise,
Where all can play in sinful delight.
Towering hotels and painted palm trees
...

You went missing in the autumn
where were you hiding?
I loved to call you
for you to come running
...

In the morning
It's so cold
In the morning
We whisper hello
...

In your office and fancy business suit
You flash a smile that I hardly knew
It carried an air of emptiness
And yet you promised dear lord it was true
...

When I speak of love
I go back to when we were kids
It was in those times
Where I let me heart live
...
