Melissa Joy Chesky Poems

“I know what you want, ” you said confidently.
But no, you sir, fail to fully understand.
What I want, not that I told you, is a tale.
A fairy tale older than the times of sand.
...

It’s hard to hear
the clock tick on
and to not hear your voice.
I’m so accustomed to it,
...

Oh, little baby Phillip.
Such a sad thing to know
that we won’t witness
your first signs of life
...

Your touch gives me shivers,
some people may think it wrong
but my skin surely quivers
as I hear your heart beat in song.
...

I’m hanging by a thread,
the thread you unknowingly dangle above the lion,
and I have to choose
either death by you

“We shouldn’t have…”
I know, but…
“I’m sorry…”
...

You buzz through
my static-like mind;
my heart stops
because I know it's you.
...

The year misfortune dies
And is forever set in its grave.
The month luck is met
And is looked upon as a celestial fate.
...

Patiently
I waited
Tomorrow
You said
...

I try to truly care;
I ward off the despair,
I try not to stare
For as long as I can bear –
...
