Mae Bonnin Poems

Someone saved my life tonight.
I didn't faulter, didn't fight.
The room inside was cold and damp.
Illuminated by the lamp.
...

Sometimes when you're walking, you get caught looking down.
What's heavy on your mind leaves you soaking up the ground.
I wonder if we just looked up?
I wonder what we'd see?
...

Once upon a time is how they begin.
Happily ever after calls it all to an end.

Once upon a time, i thought i knew,
...

Tell it secrets once or more
Take of your shoes and sit on the floor.
Tear the folds from your concious heart.
Carpet is the place to start.
...

Stop it.
You're deminishing me.
Strong you are, but little you see.
...

Slowly fading in the sand,
Distant dreams, distant land.
Where are we?
...

When i'm thinking of you, chills trace my spine.
Butterflies dance in my stomach,
Swinging on a vine.
Driving fast to get to nowhere I watch you flutter by,
...

Love is all around,
There's no need to touch the ground.
Love is in the air,
Breathe, for it is there.
...
