M.A. Wood Poems

Why do you damn me Fates?
Curse me to live unloved?
Am I so unworthy?
Are the Gods so heartless?
...

As The days pass by,
And the kids ride painted horses,
Families smile again,
Remember the memories,
...

The moon,
Her stars,
Chase thee Sun away,
Bring forth the night,
...

How can my face turn away the shadows,
How can my face turn away the beasts,
The phantoms,
The shades of the past set before me,
...

Heavens falling,
Though Hell is rising,
The wandering stranger,
Brings to light,
...

I stood outside the window,
Watching as you cried yourself to sleep,
I know what I did was wrong,
I know what I did caused you pain,
...

Her voice rang through eternity, A life of loneliness,
Echoing through the ages of men.
It rang clear,
The voice of pain,
...

What good is her voice,
Her voice like the wind,
When I can not hear it?
...

Now the time has come for socializing,
Cheers of hooray and hooray in the air,
The Ivory Lady in this visage,
Awaiting her knight of civility,
...
