M. Richard Smith Poems
Affliction drives her hardened heart’s intent
While pity masks the mysteries of her truth
And comforts her with mutated hope.
...
In burning shades of red,
The sun will shed its light,
And fade through whispering clouds.
As night whisks in, so proud,
...
Watching shadows
through the moonless night,
catching only glimpses
in the light of passing cars.
...
I saw his face within my own,
Beyond the water's edge.
A peace within his eyes, alone.
Within my heart, I bled.
...
When the sun sits low upon my day
And my sky begins to fill with grey,
When my dear mother kneels to pray,
I wonder, will you cry?
...
The Best Poem Of M. Richard Smith
Afflicted
Affliction drives her hardened heart’s intent
While pity masks the mysteries of her truth
And comforts her with mutated hope.
She contemplates the days gone by,
When the luster of her countenance,
Concealed the frailty of her dreams.
And visions of escape assail her crowded mind
To suppress the swelling of her fears
And adulterate the bitter taste of her soul.
She veils herself in the coolness of a dampened cloth
And breathes…
Then she paints her face to cover up her shame
And stuffs the undergarments of her soiled life
Inside a tattered sack.
She labors for the door,
And hears the stumbling of his graceless steps.
As she nears the threshold of her sovereignty,
She’s tempted by the tease of no return.
Convinced that someday she could learn
To somehow love herself.
He smiles at her in the bliss of his oblivion
And knows that she’ll be back.
