Merlene Campbell Poems

Water pours down, the drops spread apart
The flow runs together and unity starts
One big mistake is thinking the drops are alike
When equality is not the unity's strife
...

Little Johnny
Beep, Beep, Creep, Creep
The bug runs along in the sand
Sweep, Sweep, Peep, Peep
...

You molded me once
Living art of love
Then shattering pieces
Flew like a dove
...

Go
Take my heart
Go run and play
I will pray to have another day
...

So cold the winter seed
Within the frost a meager need
Seeking the sun the light and warmth
To be coddled like the normal sort
...

We stayed inside from the storm
Outside the wind blew
The trees banged and the windows rattled
My younger brother was there
...

Whittier Hills of Rose

This is where she lays
In Rose Hills the ducks will play
...

The soul is written
Still in the moments to come
It seems all that was written, is done
An empty heart still aching near
...

Devil's Lair

I've been inside the Devil's Lair
The girls were dancing everywhere
...

On that night, I remember clear
Those eyes of lies and no fear
As I smiled when I saw his face
He broke my heart without embrace
...
