Mitzie Holstein Poems

Looking through my window
Feeling the wind on my face
Watching cars people and buses go by
Ah! the spirit of the human race
...

You look at me with dark brown eyes
Eyes that say, 'I've known you all my life.'
I look at you and your deep, sunken eyes look almost like mine
...

A father is someone who is always strong
He makes you feel better when everything has gone wrong
He'll make you laugh he'll make you cry
He wants you to marry the right kind of guy
...

Awake at night
Lights sparkling bright
People from unknown places
Egged into crowded spaces
...

Do you read my inbox?
Can you feel my rage?
Do you take a gasp
As you read my page?
...

Somewhere in the forties
Lies one of life's mysteries
Expected
Pounces
...

When love becomes hate
It spoils the essence of life itself
When peace becomes war
It tears up and breaks down
...

To live alone
Is to die
A lonely death
...

Inside of every breathing human being
Is a way to relate
To song
Religious
...

Were you on the street, in a crowd or just by yourself in a room?
Did you cry for yourself, for him, for whom he was or for whom you thought he'd become?

Where were you on the day he died?
