Maria Shaw Poems

This kiss
is bliss
passion erupts from my soul
making me whole
...

Tender lips

kiss my brow
...

This prison I live in
four walls
no doors.
...

Sitting Bull stood his ground
he refused to sell his sacred land.

Respected by his people
...

Rain falls down my window pane
reflecting tears of pain.

I pray for the sun to rise
...

Kaleidoscope eyes that hypnotize
a rainbow of color captivates
smiles and tears contentment and fears
I'm sinking I'm drowning the sun's disappeared.
...

He entered my life like a hurricane
I was caught in a whirlwind romance
I tried so hard to resist his charms
but I didn't stand a chance.
...

'Wide awake in a dream'

So now you listen
as screams become whispers
...

She wasn't gone
only sleeping
I knelt at her side
no tears I cried.
...

Silent tears are shed
echoed through the mountains
carried by the breeze
as man falls to his knees.
...
